Best possible scenario..the threat of a pre-emptive strike by Israel..coupled with a loud and clear statement buy Israel that IF a nuke is ever detonated in Israel..then Israel will respond against Iranian cities..might be enough to move the Iranians to overthrow the very unpopular mullahs..

I hope you are right, Ken.

Can Israel effectively "threaten" Iran without actually detonating a device within Iran? Perhaps by naming targets, this would inspire the Iranian populus, especially in the forementioned areas, to act to overthrow the Mullahs and stop the nuclear program.

The unfortunate thing is that the opposition is not as powerful as one might believe. The Mullahs are backed by the Revolutionary Guards and other islamothugs. These guys are as brutal as Saddam's people. Just ask the family of the 14 year old child that broke the fast during Ramadan. They beat him so severely that he died.
