Let me guess. Iran will explode an underground nuke they purchased from NK, claim it as their own and threaten to nuke everyone else.

Before we get all worked up ... does anyone know what the chain of command is in Iran as to "pushing the button". Does Ahminejad-raka-raka even have a say in who gets nuked?

Do the even have any safeguards?

Very likely scenario and we can then see the source of the fissionable material from the explosion. You have it right as long as you also understand he has some real weapon cones on missiles that can reach Eastern Europe, let alone Israel.

I think that Iran doing a nuclear test is a very good guess.

As to North Korea, I would be unsurprised if they were to coordinate with Iran to do a reasonably simultaneous nuclear test also, or at least some more missile launches. That would sow much confusion among the Western powers as they tried to sort out what all had happened and might be about to happen.

If the North Koreans were to make a nuclear test they would however then risk a major Japanese response, possibly including an immediate repeal of Article 9.

On the other hand, this could all be more insane rhetoric from the raving nutcases running Iran. But I think we need to take military action very soon with respect to Iran. We have waited a long time past what I considered reasonable.
