Should Iran own nuclear weapons?

Question

Obviously the news are full of it

Anyways, what do you think?
and why!

Answer 1

nobody should

Answer 2

The participating governments of the UN voted UNANIMOUSLY against Iran's nuclear program because Iran refuses to comply with inspections to ensure that nuclear weapons are not being made.
The U.N. Security Council unanimously voted to expand sanctions on March 24, 2007. The new resolution 1747 calls on Iran to comply fully with all previous UN resolutions and join negotiations to reach agreement so as to restore international confidence in the peaceful nature of its nuclear program. Full transparency and cooperation with the IAEA are required. Suspension of Iran’s banned nuclear activities will elicit the parallel suspension of sanctions. The package of incentives offered Tehran last year for its cooperation remains on the table. The full text of the draft of resolution 1747 appears at this website:

Nuclear weapons are called weapons of mass destruction because they have the capability of devastating life at the moment of impact and for as long as the radiation is deadly.

I think that Iran should not be allowed to have nuclear weapons because they could be used against non-Muslim countries. Of course, there would have to be a reason to provoke that country into a conflict because the Qur'an only allows defensive wars under its rules of engagement.

Iran's Shahab-3 ballistic missiles are capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and can be detonated by a remote-control device while still in high-altitude flight as electromagnetic pulse weapons. Iran will have that capability – at least theoretically – as soon as it has one nuclear bomb ready to arm such a missile

The Isfahan plant is above ground, but Natanz is more than 50ft below and would require either a tactical nuclear missile or a conventional bunker-buster bomb to destroy it.

Answer 3

The short answer is that either no one or any one who has the capability of having.

While Israel and America are threatening Iran for any unjustified reason based on their nuclear capabilities, why Iran or any other country should not have it as Iran has always proved that his program is all for peaceful purposes.

Answer 4

The short answer is "NO", the long answer is "NO" again. Niet is the other language that should be heard also to be effective. Why? I think Iran and for that matter North Korea have not proven to the world their respect of human rights -- in the large context we understand them to be -- specially in the west. That explains in short --the why. ps. For longer versions we have to rely on what and why the Security Council of the United nations keep telling Iran -- stop it!
