    It sounds like a nuclear arms race and mini-cold war to me.

    That's because your head is filled with mass media garbage.

    We have Iran surrounded

    "We" is not Saudi Arabia. They can't count on the US to always be around to protect them. Nuclear weapons would be a counter to Iran's superior military power even if Iran also has nuclear weapons. Turkey and Egypt may well decide they need nuclear weapons as well due to Iran. It's not that big a region.

    That's because your head is filled with mass media garbage.

    Or a better understanding of the military problems of the region.
