The carrot and the stick?
I think so.
It might be a double standard and hypocritical seeing how we have nukes.
But if Iran gets a nuke, Tel Aviv (my guess for a likely target) is going to have a new attraction, a mushroom cloud.
Jerusalem is a Muslim holy city too, with a large Muslim population. Tel Aviv with Israel’s military HQ’s, the second biggest city, more Jewish and Israeli, further away from the bigger Muslim population centers, is IMHO the likely target.
Iran is not a nation known for it’s predictability, measured response, or doctrinal approach.
Give them a nuke, and it’s only a matter of time.
