didnt india get nuclear weapons with no one knowing about them? (not 100% sure about that) no reason why iran wouldnt be able to get this far without letting many ppl know about it.
In any case i dont agree with iran having nuclear weapons just as much as i dont agree with israel having nuclear weapons.

Israel having nuclear weapons is quite likely the single greatest reason that Israel still exists.

India's nuke weapons programme started in 1963(after it's defeat in the Indo-Sino war of '62 & hence Indian nukes were primarily meant for China!!!!!!) & was mainly indegnious for much of it's duration ,with a bit of Russian & of late,reportedly Israeli help.Not a lot of people knew about it(despite India testing it's first bomb in 74 & weaponising it by '86) as the Indian government was always committed to Universal nuclear disarmament & never said it would go nuclear .ie remained ambigious.Israel's programme was similar too--It started in the 50s with active French help & later South African help.There were reports in both the Pakistan & Arab press that 3 of the mini-nukes India exploded in 98 were for Israel(in return for more advanced weaponry).Israel too has made it clear it won't be the 1st "to go nuclear" in the region-Iran's is more a belligerent attitude,reminiscent of Pakistan,their Slammic cousin.
