Aside from the obvious shivering I get from thinking that another nation will have the power to kill thousands of people in seconds, It’s also interesting to note the impact of pursuing nuclear energy is having on Iran’s economy.

Iran’s economy is essentially contracting as resources aren’t being properly utilized, but more significantly, as foreign nations cut ties with Iran; Such as the oil embargo imposed by the EU. Hopefully when the Iranian elections come, the power will shift to someone with more conservative and peaceful views.
