Fair enough, but first it has to be clearly established that Iran has nuclear weapons it could conceivable use in war-that could take up to 5 or even 10 years. Then the Arab states would have to make a decision to start building the nuclear technology and then they would have to start from the ground up in most cases. If it takes the Iranian regime this long to build nukes of that strength, imagine the time it would take the Saudis to build up nuclear weaponry to the point where they are a threat. Remember, we’re talking Saudis, perhaps the most unproductive people on earth.

Perhaps, but they're also very wealthy (at least the royal families). They'd just buy it from someplace like Pakistan.

War? No, that's not Iran's goal. They want to use nukes in terror attacks.
