Then why develop them at all ?

Why does the United States have nuclear weapons? Which nation are we planning to destroy? How about France, India, Pakistan, Israel...who are they planning to destroy?

And what exactly would be the strategic geopolitical benefit to Iran from launching a nuclear attack on Israel?

I see that no one can answer that question.

[OWC Jamie]

iran does not recognize the state of Israel

they would be nuking the zionist regime of the occupied territory.


Iran certainly does not have a slightly different concept of middle east peace and stability than the West.

No one in Iran ever mentions the obliteration of the Zionist Regime.

Ever.

Though I'm no fan of nuclear proliferation, one thing to be considered, despite Iran's rhetoric, I think they saw what happened to Iraq. If Saddam had nukes, guarenteed the U.S. wouldn't have trumped up false reasons to go to war and invade Iraq. And to expand further on the topic, I hate to say it, but I suspect a big reason the U.S. and U.S.S.R. didn't go to war was the deterrent provided by each sides nukes.

I don't know how old you are but you'd be first in line marching in nuclear freeze marches in the 80s. After all nukes in the hands of America and the Soviets are the same.
