#1 See also FREEREPUBLIC > IRAN MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN HAVING A [nuclear] BOMB + [existential] SURVIVAL: ISRAEL.

Lines in the sand???

Reminds me of an OLD DREAM/VISION = ARCHANGEL DRAWING "LINES IN THE SAND" ala POTUS BUSH 41 [Herbert = "Herbie" COULD-BE-A-LOVE-BUG Bush] + DESERT SHIELD/STORM.

Iff Rising Iran = Rising Iran, then Iran will inevitably go for the Bomb, come hell or Jewish party favors.

versus

* SAME > [Jamestown.Org] THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM: THERAN RETHINKS ITS COMMITMENT TO AN IRANIAN-BUILT AIRCRAFT CARRIER.

Ancient Persia now Iran = China = historically is a major land power, although this is not to argue that it did not have good or potent maritime or naval warfighting activities or traditions.

Pragmatically, IFF RISING IRAN = HOPES TO EMULATE RISING CHINA in BEING A POST-US GLOBAL POWER OR SUPERPOWER, NOT MERELY "REGIONAL" OR TRANSREGIONAL, ESPEC AS PER PREMISES FOR SO-CALLED "OWG/GLOBAL CALIPHATE", THEN LIKE "RISING CHINA" WANNABE RISING IRAN MUST BE ABLE TO BOTH PROJECT + PROTECT ITS OVERSEAS INTERESTS AT WILL.

Put it this way - IFF THEY DON'T, THEY WON'T.
