Nuklear bomb

[AndyJWest]

Time out. I think I have answered just about everything.

I don't. Still, I'll let that pass for now, and deal with your post 147. I assume these are the questions you refer too - everything else in that post looks like an assertion dressed up as a question:

Do you think Iran is seeking nuclear power simply to supply their own energy needs?
Do you think Iran will use their nuclear capability to develop weapons?
Once they develop nuclear weapons, do you think they will use them to threaten their neighbours or the world's oil supply?
Do you think they would make good on their threats to bomb Tel-Aviv?
Does it appear sanction are working?

Let's deal with them one at a time:

Do you think Iran is seeking nuclear power simply to supply their own energy needs?

No. I think they are doing it mostly as an act of defiance.

Do you think Iran will use their nuclear capability to develop weapons?

Possibly. Though if the objective is deterrence, they don't need to develop such weapons, merely arouse reasonable doubt that they might have.

Once they develop nuclear weapons, do you think they will use them to threaten their neighbours or the world's oil supply?

This is a leading question. Let's rephrase it: "If they develop nuclear weapons, do you think they would..."
Which neighbours? What sort of threat? In any case, 'the world's oil supply' isn't confined to the middle east, and one assumes that such threats would be reciprocated.

Do you think they would make good on their threats to bomb Tel-Aviv?

Another leading question. I've seen no evidence that any such threat was ever made.

Does it appear sanction[s] are working?

Not particularly. Given all the uncertainties above, and the abject failure of the US to address the fundamental problems that lead to the situation in the first place, I don't see any alternative. Do you?

If your solution is 'bomb Iran' (or get your Israeli puppet state to do it for you), then the Iranian's supposed objective of acquiring a nuclear deterrent seems entirely logical under the circumstances.
