Yes, Israel has nuke power stations and a large number of nuke weapons too. Is there a reason why Iran should not be equally equipped? So far there is no evidence that Iran is building nuclear for military purposes. However, to answer you question, yes. The power in the region needs to be balanced. Alternately, Israel should shed its nuclear power. When there is no balance of power in the region, Israel commits atrocities, ethnically cleanse and oppress the Palestinians without any consequence or remorse. Here is a link to a news paper article posted on another thread. Shining a light on Israeli aggression in Gaza thestar.com

You mean a reason other than their open hatred and desire to make the Israeli people extinct? Or the fact that their leaders have, and are, completely crazy, and if they were mad enough at ANYONE, they would not hesitate to just say, "Let's all die?" That's enough reason for me.

Deja Vue. Iraq's WMDs all over again. Khamenei 'rejects' nuclear bombs Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has denied Western claims that Iran intends to develop nuclear arms. "We fundamentally reject nuclear weapons and prohibit the production and the use of nuclear weapons," he said in a speech broadcast on state television. The Iranian leader said the US knows it is "wrong" when it asserts Tehran is pursuing a covert nuclear bomb. The US and five other countries are to hold talks with Iran shortly on a range of issues, including nuclear armaments. The supreme leader's comments are the first official response to the United State's decision to scrap a European missile initiative, a plan put forward by the former Bush administration to counter, in part, any long-range Iranian missile threat. "They [the US] falsely accuse the Islamic republic of producing nuclear weapons," said Ayatollah Khamenei. "Despite friendly messages and words", the current US government was anti-Iranian, he said. Iran has always denied assertions from the US, Israel and other European powers that it is seeking to build nuclear arms. Tehran insists its uranium enrichment initiative is helping establish a purely peaceful civilian nuclear energy programme. International talks with Iran are scheduled for 1 October. The United States, Russia, the UK, France, China and Germany are set to attend. The European Union says it expects the meeting to take place in Turkey. Story from BBC NEWS: news.bbc.co.uk
