Top Israeli official: A nuclear Iran would endanger world stability

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/02/26/israel.iran.nuclear/index.html

News about Iran equipping themselves with nuclear weapons is gaining more attention now. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak believes that something should be done about this. He thinks that not only will Iran be a threat to Israel but also to the whole world. Barak doesn't think that Iran would drop it on Israel because it could disrupt the oil supply. U.S. Hillary Clinton also believes that something needs to be done to get Iran off their course. Barak doesn't trust Iran's plan of building nuclear development for power and the civilians. Also Barak talked about the situation with the Palestinians. He says he wants to have peace with them but isn't scared to get into a war if it becomes necessary.

This is important to the whole world because if Iran did have nuclear weapons it would be a concern to all countries. I agree with both of them and believe that something needs to be done to stop Iran from making nuclear developments. Also the last few paragraphs about peace with Palestinians is important. Barak said that the country's right hand will be holding a gun with their fingers on the trigger while the left hand tries to find opportunity for peace. The whole world does not want this war to break out as it will disrupt the oil distribution and lead to many deaths.

  1. I agree, the last thing we need is for Iran to obtain nuclear power. If they do, they could threaten Israel and then the United States would need to be involved and all that mushed together would be the beginnings of WWIII. Not good.

  2. I also wrote about this article, and I agree with you. I also said that it would trigger other countries to fire their own nuclear missiles, because a lot of countries are finding an excuse to fire their missiles because of all the tension.
