I've Been Thinking:
One of the dangers with Iranian nuclear development is the ripple effect. There is regional competition in the Middle East, so if Iran has nukes, Saudi Arabia needs them. The pressure to get nukes should not be underestimated.
It's like keeping up with the Jones', Middle East style.
As a result of the 2015 nuke deal with Iran, the international community is on their way to full nuclear capability. Saudis will not accept a situation where the Shiites, i.e. Iran, have weapon superiority over them.
Should the United States and Israel side with the Saudis or try to preserve fewer nukes in the Middle East?
It's a conundrum - more nukes or parity between Sunnis and Shiites.
