Let's see ~ a handful of nukes would take out Iran yet leave the oilfields available for future use.

Guys, all the U.S. has to do is take out the Malahs, which are hated by most of the rest of the Iran population.

Remember, Iran is a tyranny, the actions of the country's leaders do not reflect the opinions of most Iranians.

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.

Unless they hit on the brilliant idea of basing some of their missiles in hardened silos upwind of the oil fields...

Actually, even if it were much more than a handful of nukes, and we unleashed hundreds of thermonuclear weapons turning the entire country of Iran into a crackling, smoking mass of fused green glass - all the oil underneath would still be perfectly usable!
