The Danube statement is, "Manics run Iran and they think bombing Israel is part of the Mahdi's appearance. Ahmadinejad already thinks the Madhi is steering events. I am sure he's been thrilled to see US suddenly run by a Muslim sympathizer who throws Israel over the side. No doubt he sees that as a sign."
The point is that Ahmadinejad is a motor mouth, has no real power, and is a national embarrassment to Iran. But if Ahmadinejad's stupidity can aid the cause of Iranian moderates in loosening the almost total power of Iranian Mullahs, so he may be a useful idiot.
But still the Danube contention is almost totally based on the hypothesis, that as soon as Iran has a weapon to use against Israel, it will instantly use it. Knowing full well that Israel has far more nukes that would almost certainly cause the death of at least half of Iran's population in the Israeli counterstrike. But still Danube insist Iran is so bat shit irrational that they would not care.
Well, Danube, I point out that Iran already has the means to severely wound if not kill Israel already, in terms of poison gas and huge quantities of weapons it could flood into terrorists hands. Yet Iran has not done so, could it be, gasp, because they are actually rational and not totally irrational as your statement assumes Iran is.
But I suspect the real reason Iran may want nukes, is to provide an immunity from being invaded by hostile powers. And even if they do, the Iranian decision point of stopping at mere peaceful use nuclear powered electrical generation or going on to develop nuclear weapons too is years into the future, Iran is unlikely even then to ever have as many nukes as Israel, and if the mid-east tensions and Iranian threat level reduces later, why should Iran be motivated to go on to nuclear weapons?
