Iranian says Tehran tricked EU on nukes

As reported here (and as I have posted about before), the Iranians want nuclear weapons, and have been deceiving the EU for at least two decades regarding their intentions. Former head of the Iranian negotiating team, Hassan Rowhani, boasted about it in a speech to leading Iranian clerics.

And the Iranians are still trying to deceive not only the EU, but the world as well. They say that their nuclear program is for "peaceful purposes", to generate electricity. As I posted before, why do they need nuclear energy, when they sit on top of vast reserves of both oil and natural gas, which can be used to efficiently and cleanly produce enough electricity, not only for Iran, but for neighboring countries in the region without diminishing their exports? The answer to that is quite simple - they don't need nuclear energy to produce electricity.

What they do need however, in their view, is nuclear weapons so they may fulfill their self-proclaimed mandate of dominating not only the Middle East - which would be bad enough - but the entire world - which would be even worse.

Once Iran has nuclear weapons, you can be sure that the next step they will take is to state that they are running out of room in Iran for their expanding population, and that they need a little "elbow room" (Sound familiar? Hitler said the same thing.). Which country would they look to first for that "elbow room"? Which neighboring country has a majority Shiite population, that now also has close ties to the US, which they decidedly do not like, and would dearly love to disrupt those close ties? Iraq.

After Iraq, where next, for surely you don't think Iran would be satisfied with just Iraq? Probably Jordan, which also has close ties to the US, and then possibly Lebanon who is at odds with Iran's close ally, Syria. Then, once they are in Jordan, guess who would be next? Yep, Israel.

But, what about the UN telling them "they can't do that"? Oh, please. The UN? The UN can't even control peace keepers from raping, looting, and pillaging the people they are supposed to be protecting from rape, looting and pillaging, or control their own staffers from looting funds, and you expect Iran to listen to them?

Okay, if not the UN, then what about the US stepping in? That's exactly what the lunatics in Iran want to have happen. Why? So that they can a) unleash whatever nuclear weapons they have, wherever they think will benefit them most, and b) unleash the "Great Jihad" against the West, with the ultimate goal of enslaving the world under the heel of Islam, with Iran as the ultimate theocratic government.

Of course, once Iran fired off whatever nuclear weapons it has, the US would then be forced to retaliate in kind, reducing Tehran to a molten poll of glass. This in turn would infuriate others, including possibly China who has it's own nukes, and definitely the vast Islamic population elsewhere in the world.

Am I insane, you ask? Iran wouldn't possibly want that to happen, could they? No, I'm not insane, and I'm not running around with my hair on fire, yelling that the sky is falling. I am, however, just stating my position on why I believe that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, for yes indeed, their current leadership would want to see the things that I have described above come to pass.

Otherwise, why would they deceive the EU about their nuclear intentions?
