What are they going to do? They have no nuclear weapons. Russia won’t get involved because their conventual army is decimated and they’ll think twice of using nukes themselves knowing we are dangerous and have just sent Tehran into the nether realm.
shareNo. It'll cause way more problems for us.
shareIt needs to be kept in reserve ONLY if after we retaliate against their proxies they respond from many places around the region and on Israel.
Small clean nukes might need to be used in certain situations, but nuke Tehran or any other major population center is a horrible, vicious an barbaric idea that only Iran would do.
If we need to wipe our underground hardened nuclear manufacturing sites that cannot be reached any other way ... perhaps as a last resort.
I don't think either side wants a war, but Iran is moving things into position to be able to build up enough throw power against Israel to destroy it or force their hand.
I think Israel would be more likely to before us is an emergency - but that emergency is coming to be clear and present.
For example, Iran agents have been infiltrating the West. Iran has been caught making assassination deals with the Canadian Hells Angels to kill Iranian dissidents in the US and elsewhere.
Jihadi terrorism, bribery and corruption are rampant now in the West. But nuking someone is not the answer.
