The sanctions are a reaction to them getting nuclear technology. Nukes are like guns, it's not that they are around, it's who has them that's the problem.
Only one country has used similar weaponry, being the USA with the A-Bomb over Japan.
This idea that the USA is all vulnerable to Iran, is ridiculous, same with Israel, considering both are armed with Nukes, and killing a lot more people in recent years than Iran.
A lot of the World's going to simply start seeing the USA & Israel as the Axis of Evil.
Pretty soon, the USA, and Israel will be fighting the World.
Because, even reliable allies of the USA, like UK, Poland, Canada, among others have been pushed to the limits in recent years.
I think the difference between Israel nukes and Iranian nukes is similar to the cold war. Israel has nukes for self-defense, and the Iranians want it for proactive measures.
The leaders there are a bunch of kooks. They believe in this Seventh Imam that will arise from God knows where when the end of the world is near. I think Iran wants to be the start of that so-called spiritual uprising.
Like I said, it's who has them that's the problem. You don't allow crazy people to have guns. We should do everything possible to stop Iran from gaining nuclear technology.
I tend to think the real issue is Iran's values,
Assad a Democratically elected Strongman, was disposed of not for Nukes, but for Authoritarian Right values, which Iran shares.
Same values Gadafi had, who did basically nothing.
One could also make the argument, that Iran's seeking self defense Nukes too, considering the USA is slapping sanctions upon Iran
and
considering how the USA armed Saddam Hussein who invaded Iran, before the USA disposed of Saddam.
Now who's insane, then?
huh?
The USA armed Saddam, and then helped Iran spread into Iraq, by then disposing of Saddam.
Now,
nothing's insane there, really?
