This article is about The threat that Iran poses to not only Israel, but the whole region by being nuclear. The Israeli defense minister talks about what he thinks the situation is, and what threat is really being posed. He doesn't think that Iran is crazy enough to drop any bombs, but he does say that you never know. He doesn't like it because an "armed Iran could endanger the region, disrupt oil supplies and empower Iran's terrorist allies." He wants to work with the United States to put an economic sanction on Iran until they change the direct they are going. "Iran is not living up to its responsibilities and we are working with our partners in the international community to increase pressure on Iran to change course," said Hillary Clinton after her meeting with Israel's defense minister.
This article is of global importance because as we learned, the terrorist group Hezbollah gets its weaponry from Iran. If we allow Hezbollah to get its hands on nuclear weapons, I doubt they are just going to sit on their hands. Iran may not be crazy enough to shoot a nuke, but an extremist terrorists group on the other hand will not be so hesitant. I think that the most important thing to gaining some sort of peace in this world is just to make sure that another nuke is not used. We should do everything in our power to stop another one to be used because after it is, all hell will break loose.

The article also raises great points beyond the threat of Iran actually using the weapon, but more so the imbalance of power it creates in the region and in regards to oil.
