#1 Iran currently has "observer" status with SCO. This will likely change to full membership.

#2 IRAN is going hell-bent for Regional-Global Empire and won't accept in LT being treated as an unequal or minor nation/region by RUSSIA-CHINA. RUSSIA-CHINA = ISRAEL = USA = BRITS-NATO > WORLD NUCLEAR POWERS/STATES > THAT MEANS IRAN MUST HAVE NUKES EVENTUALLY.

#3 They don't have the economy for "Regional-Global, Empire". All they have is oil, of witch they use a good amount of themselves, and pistachio nuts.

That isn't a "Reional-Global Empire", even with nukes. Too many checks on their power, even in the region.

I'm not suggesting that they arent crazy and dangerous, mind you. But they havent conquered the world yet.
