Iran has been working on developing nuclear weapons since the Bush years.

Big Bump. Been saying for years. Iran will get the bomb, sooner or later. The will likely use the bomb when they actually have more than one. These Persians are radical but they are indeed clever. The last bomb will be to use as a looming threat against retaliation.

IMO, it is in that time of a nuclear detonation that the Western world will have the moral high ground to crush the Iranian threat with both barrels. The initiative of the retaliation will again be left to the United States. And, there is the rub. Obama, IMO, will hem-haw, stall and call for "peaceful negotiations". That is his role in all this. He is the enabler.

More likely that Russia and China will attack the US through their surrogate cutouts Iran and North Korea. Both will expertly use tactics that induces the surrogate to basically commit suicide. So the launches will be public, spectacular and well known. The Iranians will be trying to set conditions for the Mahdi's return. The North Koreans will be avenging the Pueblo or whatever. Neither has to worry about the response from Obama. He had been programmed not to retaliate. His ego was used to convince him that he is the Mahdi. His socialist brainwashing forbids him from annihilating a socialist country. All we can hope for now is that they target DC and save us the trouble.

These aren’t Persians by Shia Islamists who not only consider Persian nationalism to be heresy, but many of whom want a rain of fire on the Muslim world to cleanse it and make way for the Mahdi. Former President Rafsanjani made it clear that Mutually Assured Destruction does not apply to Iran. They sent boys armed only with plastic keys to heaven to clear minefields. These people use terrorist proxies. I see no reason why they won’t load a bomb on a freighter or jetliner, hide its origin and use it as a delivery mechanism to NYC or Tel Aviv.
