A nuclear arsenal and its proximity to southwest Asia's resources would make Iran a Great Power. Sure, Khomeini's Islamic veneer was useful politically, but lurking behind his vision was a restoration of the Persian Empire.
Delusional? Insane? Sure, but delusions often spawn grim and deadly realities -- remember, Hitler wanted to establish a 1,000-year Reich.
If the Khomeini regime obtained deliverable nuclear weapons, the world would face several grisly scenarios:
1. Global economic blackmail as the regime threatens regional oil and gas exports.
2. Nuclear attacks in southwest Asia (possibly Europe).
3. Israeli preemption.
Decades ago, Ayatollah Iran dismissed Israel as a "one bomb state." Israel would face nuclear destruction -- unless Tel Aviv struck first. If Israel struck first, then the Israelis would be guilty of denying the world its daily oil ration, and that would justify Iranian retaliation and invasion by Iranian proxy armies.
Indeed. Obtaining nukes was and is central to the Khomeinist Death to America Cult.
So -- "Death to America!" is often howled in English.
