What is the UN doing!?!

The UN, only surpassed in their credibility and usefulness by THIFA.

Since Iranians are ready to talk about halting their development of nukes, they'll be milking the west for all it's worth.
And after they get nice, fat and content Ban Ki-moon will receive a package with 4 nuts, 5 bolts and 3 nintendo tetris circuits titled Dismantled nuclear program.

Catch-22, Iran is becoming a major player in the region and flexing its muscles. The only block to its power is Saudi Arabia and they're not exactly known for their rationality and co-operation either.
So whose side do you pick?

I would see them exchanging nukes over ME and see oil prices rise. Supply arms to both sides too. But if I had to pic sides - i would provide conditional support to Iran.

The Saudis have stated publicly they will acquire nuclear capability should Iran do likewise in the future.

Could actually be a good thing if they managed to work themselves into a form of impassé with nuclear weapons, a form of MAD. Of course, it would mean a nuclear arms race, and as ikalugin pointed out, a rise in oil prices, which is one of the many many reasons we need to get ourselves away from oil as soon as possible.
Of course, Israeli would probably Samson them both if they got nuclear weapons.
