Fact is if Iran had of acted in a friendlier manner to their neighbors and the rest of the world over most of the last 50 years probably no one would have a problem with them going ahead and building a nuclear reactor for "more electrical power". But they haven't, thus the other fact is that if they don't quit what they're doing I have no doubt that Israel, or the USA, is going to give them more grief than they probably want.

Iran's leaders strike me as the types that are overconfident in their military, and too stupid to back down.

What has Iran done in recent times that would show they can be trusted not to develop nukes and then threaten others with them? Nothing.
