Of course Iran has a nuclear weapons program, and so would you faced with an aggressive super power and their even more aggressive client state.
Iran will get the bomb and I am relaxed about that because they won't use it. At the end of the day, like all governments, their number one priority is to protect their wealth and power.
Weapons like Trident are why they won't drop an atomic bomb, whether the UK needs its own bombs or whether it can hide behind the bombs of France and America is really all that is being debated. What is beyond reasonable doubt is that at least one western democracy needs to have nukes.
