Even if Iran never fires a nuke, the leverage they gain from location and having the threat available is enormous.

Agree...A choke hold on 20% of the world's oil supply at the Strait of Hormuz coupled with a capability to disrupt the entire region are greatly intensified with membership in the nuke club.

This, when taken with the prospect of atomic weapons in the hands of a horde of zealots with visions of a returning "Hidden Imam" who will eventually appear and mete out justice to nonbelievers, is intolerable.

There are so many ignorant jackasses on this forum who do not grasp these simple facts. They just keep prattling on with their ignorant mouths.
