If Iran uses nukes that will be the last act of their country and the opening salvo of an active world war 3.
I gotta believe that when Israel acts, the US will know about it in advance, and will have pre-positioned enough assets to take out Iran if need be.

I'm not so sure. Most in the ME are beginning to understand that mullah run dictatorships are going to be a source of trouble forever. Peace/democracy in the world is starting to catch hold, grudgingly but coming.
Only the troublemakers on the perimeter (China, Russia, France, etc) can stir the flames. Those under the bombs are less susceptable to their BS now!
I HOPE!
