    A nuclear Iran will be a threat to Isreal and the Arabic World security leading to a security delama which will mean more armament for all the regional states to ensure there security considering the agressive speech made by the Iranian President about Isreal.The security delamma would then lead to an arms race which will inturn result to war,for instance the arms race made a significant contribution to the WWI since all the states were armed and seemed ready for war.Also a nuclear Iran will increase Irans influence in the Gulf and the world probably forcing a transition of power over Israel,in IR usually the quest to force a power transition leads to total wars for example WWI and WWII,In a realistic perspective nuclear acquisation of nuclear weapons increases the countrys power capibilities most probably influence Iran to conquer other weaker states within the region .Globally a nuclear Iran will threaten the world security as there will be high possibilities for Iran's usage of these weapons of mass destruction if provocated.Relating back to past nuclear wars,nuclear attacks have led to poverty,distruction of infrastructure and diseases.For example the Hiroshima attack by USA had long term effects to world would not want a repeat of that.
