Iran and Nuclear Weapons

Should the world permit Iran to acquire nuclear weapons?

(80% of the GOVT 2302.8245 class thought no.)

I don't think it would be a smart thing to let Iran have Nuclear Weapon. I believe that as soon as they get nuclear weapon they will try to get rid of Israel. There will be a war between Israel and Iran. It might also be a threat to U.S. because Iranean people don't seem to like U.S. and its war on Iraq.A nuclear-armed Iran would dramatically change the balance of power in the Middle East, weakening US influence. It could also encourage other Middle Eastern nations to develop nuclear weapons of their own further reducing US influence in a critical region.Israel has frequently claimed that Iran is actively pursuing a nuclear weapons program and would use nuclear weapons against it.

I don't think that Iran should be allowed to have nuclear weapons. I know this would be good for them to be able to defend themselves but I believe that the least number of countries that have them, the better. Iran having nuclear weapons would probably be a threat to other countries.

NO, WE SHOULD NOT ACCEPT IT. FOR MANY REASONS:

FIRST IRAN IS ABLE TO USE AGAINST ISRAEL AT ANY TIME, IF WE REFER TO IRAQ WHICH ATTACKED KUWAIT FOR ANY REASON.

SECOND, IRAN PRESIDENT DENIED THE HOLAUCOST AND SAID IT BE GOOD TO ERASE ISRAEL FROM THE WORLD MAP .

IRAN IS ABLE TO USE IT AGAINST ANY AMARICAN BASE OR FACILITY IN THE AREA.

No, Iran should not have any access to nuclear weapons. In fact no country shouldn't posses any nuclear weapons even for their protection. It has been proven that Iran is a threat to U.S. and other countries. Giving them the ability to have nuclear weapons would not be a good idea because this would put many innocent people's lives at risk. Nuclear weapons should not even exist at all, it only brings problems to the world.
