What a nuclear weapon in a country like Iran means, is that a country Like US, UK and France can't go barging in to enforce their foreign policy.
There's an article today that quotes Powell as saying that the Iranians will be trying to mate a missile with a warhead, but that is years away.
So the fact is, with a nuke, they won't be shooting it into Tel Aviv anytime soon, but any large ground troop formation can expect to need 1billion sunblock if they want to feel safe attacking Iran as the nearest and weakest of the axis of evil.
And the international community could not be expected to condemn a nation state using a nuke on its own turf to repel invaders, unlike bio or chem weapons seeing as the US/NATO/EU has them by the bucketload.
