Because (with the exception of the United States of course) the first thing that comes to mind when any government has access to nuclear weapons is to nuke another country for no particular gain or reason. RIGHT? RIGHT?????!For the sake of US rhetoric and interests, I want to believe that Iran will immediately nuke Israel, really I do, but I just don't buy it. Running a nation requires being capable of distinguishing between talk and actions, just because we threatened to wipe Russia off the map back during the Korean War didn't mean we actually did it.
They want to build them - but not to attack the west as soon as they get hold of one. They want to be seen as not be f**ked with - and given America's foreign policy can you blame ANY country for not wanting some sort of bargaining power - it's simple really. Iran knows very very well that the minute the first nuke leaves their launchpad towards the west the entire country of Iran will be f**ked so quick and so hard that it will resemble a glass crater within 24 hours.

The US is certain trying. Must be all that cowboy stuff in their culture.

Yes, but there the script said "Nuke explodes" so naturally it exploded. Plus the rock came from Iran.
