Thought it would be interesting to get a poll going to see what users of the site think of the US intervening in Iran, vote and argue away

Pakistan has nukesThe current regime is a long term threat to regional stability. If they were to get a nuclear weapon it would be very likely that it spark a regional arms race. If Pakistan were to get in on said nuclear arms race, it would likely cause a chain reaction that results in a second global nuclear arms race. India would have to respond to Pakistan, China would respond to India, the US would respond to China, etc.
I was saying that it's highly probable that Pakistan would build up it's already existing nuclear arsenal in response to the rest of the Middle East (Saudis, Iranians, etc.) getting access to nuclear arms which would lead to a response from India increasing their nuclear arms, fill in the gaps.Pakistan has nukes

"So long as war isn't icky and messy, then why not?"As long as the intervention doesn't ever involve boots on the ground and ends in a timely fashion, then absolutely.

A nuclear armed Middle East would make a future nuclear arms race worse than it should otherwise be.Pakistan is already sandwiched between India and China.
