| To answer your points in order: 1. Iran's sabre rattling is in response to the outright threats of invasion and/or military strikes by the US/Israel. 2. Iran has oil which is more economically valuable sold on the market and not burned in local power plants, arguing they have no right to nuclear power is silly. 3. Iran enriches up to 20% for use in medical research reactor that produces isotopes for cancer treatment, the entire process is monitored by the IAEA. 4. "All of the available evidence points towards their going for a nuclear weapon"
Which rock have you emerged from and more importantly, was it comfortable there? The CIA itself not to mention some very high ranking retired or otherwise members of Israel's intelligence/military have clearly stated that they don't believe Iran has nukes or is working towards them, for e.g. see:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17879744
and
http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Backchannels/2012/0425/Israel... 5. They do "play ball" with the international community, they don't play ball with the US which has been threatening them for quite a while now even though it's own intelligence agency has said Iran is not pursuing a nuke.
Unless of course "International Community" in your lexicon equals the US. oh and just a piece of advice; you shouldn't jump in if you're going to parrot unsupported claims |
