The only possible answer to that would be a few Neutrons over Iran, so that the remaining Jewish populations of the world would have a place to go, with infastructure still in place.
Israel would not use nukes on Iran. They didn't need to use them when they took out the nuke facilities in Iraq - so I don't see why they would have to use them this time.
And .. it's been public knowledge for some time that Israel has purchased a huge amount of bunker-buster bombs from the USA.
Israel doesn't want to kill the Iranian people .. they just want to protect themselves from being nuked.
Actually, so could China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom or the United states. Not to mention India and Pakistan. While North Korea asserts it has nuclear weapons, this is anything but confirmed, and their ability to deliver any actual weapons with any accuracy for this type of distance is not certain either.
Maybe one of them might hit Paris.
Because the iranian nuclear facilities are in deep underground bunkers, and widely dispersed. conventional weapons cannot destroy them. those bunker busters left most of the iraqi bunker system untouched - the Discovery channel did a show on it after the war.
that's what it would take - nuclear bunker busters.
Right. M.A.D. then occurs, where Pakistan launches against Israel.
One nuke on the city of Mecca, and destry the Kabal one of the pillars of Islam and the middle east would fall into caso and mass suicide.
The threat of nuking Mecca should be enough for that cold War
I don't believe it. I bet Israel would shoot the entire stock out of the air.
October surprise. Can't divulge more.

Brilliant. My Achilles tendon is here. Here's the knife. Cut when ready. Why would you publish exactly how to do a job on your own country?
Well .. I didn't see the Discovery show - but I saw a FOX show - with a FOX person - and the bunker he went into was a disastrous mess.
"Oh, ye of little faith.."
Yep. Launch the two missiles - it would also destroy Iran a few minutes later - if not by Israel, then by the U.S.
Bushehr is the Iranian nuclear power plant being prepared to receive fuel. Unlike the rest of Iran's stuff it's totally exposed. No power plant? no need for the rest of the facilities unless Iran is plaaning on building nuclear weapons. Remove the power plant from the equation and further work at the rest of the facilities is all the evidence we and the world need about Iran's true intentions.
You're ignoring, again, the Bushehr nuclear power plant, which is completely exposed. Once Israel erases that with conventional weaponry. Iran will have no need for the other nuclear facilities. If work continues at those facilities after the destruction of Bushehr, Iran's true agenda will be laid out for the world to see.
Well, no. I think you may have an exaggerated idea of the efficacy of nuclear weapons. Iran is just short of 1.7 million square kilometers, including particularly rugged terrain and areas that have been autonomous infrastructure-wise since Cyrus the Great. Israel simply has neither the weapons nor the delivery capability to hit all of it. Nor is Israel going to employ her entire arsenal on one Islamic country if she's in a doomsday scenario. Everyone's going to get a little taste, trust me on that one.
