One thing you forgot to add into the little triangle of love between the three was that America helped finance the war Iraq had against Iran. And of course the wonderful black gold, oil and its connections with the US admin. Politics is always a complicated business. Perhaps the nuclear power is for economics.
I just heard on the news that US was putting sactions on Iran unless they stopped their nuclear programme.
It also raises the interesting question- should only the major powers be allowed nuclear weapons. All fine and good for them to say Nukes are evil but not too make any serious effort to reduce their own numbers. Russia and the US have enough to destroy the world many times over. Almost as bad as the European powers denouncing slavery after using it for hundreds of years. Considering the US attitude to Iran- would you blame them to attempt to arm themselves?
