No, but, Iran doesn’t HAVE to fire their nukes off soon after acquisition. They will use them for blackmail. If the USA doesn’t nuke Iran first, Israel might have to choose between a pre-emptive, massive nuclear strike, and vacating their country.

In the longer run, Saudi Arabia and others will counter with obtaining nukes of their own. Who on earth is dumb enough to think that in the Middle East, that does not eventually “blow up”? Or that it could be contained?

“A massive pre-emptive strike on Iran by Israel”, that is.

Yes, that’s a problem, all right.
