MV: "The Iranian game ... is not only to buy time for its nuclear weapons programme, but for the development of related weapon delivery systems."

It is seeking to build up the infrustructure that will allow it to build nukes if and when it decides they are needed.

That is not the same thing as building nukes, Morris.

MV: "After having a go at incinerating Tel Aviv, I hope the Iranians will flex their newly-acquired muscles and threaten the fools in Brussels, the Kremlin and the Forbidden City to no end about the treatment of Muslim minorities in their jurisdictions."

Riiiiight.

Morris, IF Iran nuked Tel Aviv THEN it won`t have any chance to threaten anyone, because it would already be a smouldering pile of ash.

Iran knows that.
Israel knows that.
Iran knows that Israel knows that.
Israel knows that Iran knows that.

Nukes: good for scaring people with, but not much good to use.

Because the other side will then use `em right back `atcha`.
