Iran is recklessly flaunting something that Israel, the US, most other Gulf States, and many Europeans cannot allow to occur.
It's coming to a head, and since the Iranians have been informed that this will not be allowed, then their blood be on their own heads.

Unless my memory fails me, the US has stated that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.

Who are they to decide anyway?
Who give's them the right to impose on other nation's for having nuc's when the USA has nucs also?

Here's the way it works.
Those who have, can determine those who don't have.
So.
The US has had these weapons since 1945, and only used them on two occasions.
We don't want to see an unstable people gain access. To do so threatens the peace, threatens the national security of many nations who have an interest in that area, and cannot allow it.
Iran can want them, desire them, continue to build toward them, but that doesn't mean they'll get nuclear weapons in the manner they desire.
To tell you the truth, the world is getting fed up with Hizballah, terrorism, terrorism-sponsoring states such as Iran, and sometimes, it's best to shut down the entire viper's nest before you get bit.
It has, it has talks with many countries already, bear in mind "diplomatically" unlike USA & israel reacently. The Iranian leader has spoken to the mainstream media frequently. The Iranian leader has made it quite clear he will have diplomacy. He has said that he has no interest in fighting with Israel. Israel has threatened him since jan 2007. He as to these threats calmy and responsbiliy. Action's speak louder than worlds.
Iran hasn't acted responsibly, hasn't talked responsibly, and can't be trusted to not continue their ongoing practice of handing weapons systems off to their proxy fighters.

In the years after a conflict, no one will remember how nice the losers were. No one will care that they were respectful.
They will only remember who won.
I find nothing respectable about being stupid enough to get hit first.
