The weapons of mass destruction threat again! This time it's Iran

This threat has been building up for many years! The Middle East, a volatile region with a history of a number of conflicts since 1945, is understandably nervous.

The public pronouncements of this threat appear to have gained momentum again in recent times e.g. in conjunction with the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.

Hope, Western countries learnt the lessons from the Iraq war of 2003! Be careful to listen and to give in to the hawks and warmongers!

Most likely Iraq had actively developed weapons of mass destruction (ABC weapons) for a long time under the ruthless dictator Saddam Hussein, but was it sufficient reason for an invasion? 

If necessary, will carefully planned surgical strikes against Iran's nuclear weapons program be enough? Should such precision strikes even be carried out and when under what circumstances? What other ABC weapons does Iran develop? Will Iran retaliate? How? With BC weapons?
