Nuclear technology is a double edged Word, one edge is the peaceful application that can benefit humanity and the other edge is nuclear weapons that may lead to the demise of humanity. Alhtought death and destruction is always pointless, neuclear arms will have little to contribute to the regsion's security. Middle Eastern countries are located within close geopraphical promimity, thus use of such arms will lead to radioactive pollution in the whole regsion.
Remmber, the Charnobeyl nuclear fallout that reaked havoc not only in the former USSR but also across Europe.It would be very wise of Iran and Israel to remmber that Samson died along with his enemies, when he took down the temple.
Some Israeli leaders point to the deterrent value of Nuclear arms, but how would using a weapons that will lead partial destruction of the enemy and total annihilation Israel is a deterrent. Israel use of nuclear arms will lead to the unification of the whole Muslim world against her ie. gaining the enmity of 1.2 billion people across the world. Conventional weapons and Superior technology will have a more profound impact and will affect the power balance more.
Iranians should know that possessing nuclear arms will not solve its economic and social problems. This will also unite its enemies like the neighbouring Gulf countries, Israel, USA and Europe against their country. Iran should learn from the fate of its neighbour Iraq and how its regime cracked due to sanctions.
Arms race is a waste of resources that could have been spent on much needed development and poverty alleviation programs. Security could be better guaranteed by economic dependency of all countries in the region. When neighbouring countries trade with each other their economies become intertwined, relationships between people improve and stereotypes dissipate, due to movement of capital and people across borders.
