Except for the fact they admit they have more centrifuges than they know what to do with (for civillian purposes), added to the fact they have ICBM technology. Would you want to be Israel and have a psychotic neighbor who's stated intent is to wipe you from the map?

Anyone else concerned at the Muslim Brotherhood being poised to sweep the region?

It won't end well.
