Could Iran build and use nuclear weapons? - Might London become the target of an Iranian nuclear attack? - How would we be affected if Iran cut off oil supplies? - Does the West's attitude drive young Iranians to extremism? - What can the West do to reduce the Iranian threat? Iran's President Ahmadinejad shocked the Western world when he described the murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazis as a myth and called for Israel to be 'wiped off the map'. No wonder then that some Western leaders are terrified at the prospect of Iran resuming its nuclear programme - and perhaps building nuclear.
