Iran's nuclear ambitions trigger massive Mideast arms race

I have a piece on Iran’s nuclear ambitions here where I try to figure out what factors push Iran to go nuclear that vociferously but I end up suggesting that Iran’s nuclear aspirations are also triggering massive arms race in the Middle East. It is a call for policy-makers to consider what actually the primary motivation is for Iran to continue with its nuclear program despite sanctions. Answer to that, I believe, will make it easier to prevent the Islamic republic from getting one of these dangerous toys.
