Your vastly under estimating the Israeli nuclear arsenal. They can clean out Iran. They can take out the entire Mideast if they wanted to.

Can Israel also take out Russia and China while they're at it before Russia and China take out Israel?

My point is not that Israel cannot unleash 30 nuclear strikes against Iran and every other Muslim country in the Middle East.

Sure. Israel could do that.

But, what happens after the first six Israeli mushroom clouds?

My point is that the Planet Earth does not only contain Israel and Islamic countries. It is also contains other nations, such as Russia or China or maybe even France, that would wipe Israel off the face of the Planet Earth with a few MIRVs if Israel ever unleashed such a nuclear attack on such a scale on the Middle East.

What you are proposing is nothing more than going straight to the Sampson Option where, in the end, Israel also dies.

Unfortunately, I think you are right on this. I know a retired Israeli military officer and his take on all of this - (from about three years ago/when I asked his thoughts about Iran) - he said that most Israelis know (and in fact, take for granted) - that Iran 'quote' will be able to nuke Israel. 'end quote'
And he was very flip about it. Matter of factly - - in fact. :*(

Mutual Assured Destruction

I will not waiver on a preemption nuclear strike on Iran by Israel.

Mutual Assured Destruction is valid if your enemy has nuclear weapons.Iran does not have nuclear weapons so it may not be valid. The rest of the world may not give it a notice because the Russians does not have the nerve and the Chinese love the dollar.
