The possibility of course exists and it will be discussed by people on all levels but that is not necessarily a strong argument or mean that it has much certainty of happening. People that specialize in defense need to take all scenarios into account and especially worst case scenarios.

I am aware of radical moves by Iran but I have heard of nothing as extreme as killing off two entire countries (Israel and Iran). You can at least make somewhat of a legitimate and logical argument for taking over the embassy in 1979 but no legitimate or logic argument exists for nuking Israel.

You can't ask me to prove that an event will not happen and I realize that I should have used the word evidence instead of proof in my last post. My arguments for Iran not nuking Israel is that Iran is not suicidal, it will hurt their interests in all sectors, and while being radical they have never done anything that extreme and I feel that is much stronger than anything the other side of the table has brought.


If you want to make the argument that Iran should not have atomic weapons, I will not really disagree with that. If Iran does get nuclear weapons, many things will change and those changes are largely subjective based. I just don't believe Iran nuking Israel is a legitimate argument and I feel that many use this as a cover so they can prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons because of other reasons.

If there is any country I would be worried about it is Pakistan anyways.
