For some reason, I always find it wrong that many nations refuse to provide Iran with uranium. Even if it is to make nukes [which it very well may not be], wouldn't that just lead to increased deterrence?
To clarify, if Iran possesses nuclear weapons, Israel [or any other country] would not fire their weapons for risk of being annihilated themselves...a concept coined as Mutually Assured Destruction.
Either way, Iran could only produce up to 2 nukes in their arsenal, whereas the U.S....thousands. So no fear, America would still have the upper hand.
In my opinion, if every stable country possessed nuclear armaments, then no country would be inclined to use them. Right now, since the weapons are concentrated in the most powerful countries, what if they are eventually used. Questions, questions..
Of course, it would reduce the political power countries like the United States have. The U.N. Security Council requires that in order to have veto powers, nuclear armaments are required. Now it's quite obvious that most states wouldn't want to give that up.
But hey, in the long run, we might not need to spend that much money on defense again if nukes aren't going to be used...given the fact that we spend more on the military than education.

If every country produces a nuke, then all wars from now on will include nuclear warfare....
