No, Israel would use full size nuclear arms against Iran. And that would be due to an imminent or launched attack on Israel itself.

It's called deterance.

A nuclear weapon has not been used since 1945, when the US Armed Forces dropped two such bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during ending World War II.

There, fixed it.

This whole Israel nuke thing is probably a bunch of bull. The source of the story is Bassam Abu Sharif, former PLO press officer and senior adviser to Yasser Arafat. The creep is probably getting his jollies watching the western press hype everyone into a frenzy of worry.

Israel will not go quietly.

If it feels threatened with extinction, and that that feeling reflects an imminent concern, I think Israel would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons against Iran.

In addition, Israel would be reluctant to use a WMD that could MB>set off a regional war.

Regional war?!?!? YAAKOV KATZ must be on crack.

The next country that uses a nuke starts WWIII (or IV or V, take your pick of terms). And personally I don't want to get incinerated by a Russian nuke because Israel has a problem with Iran.

Israel is preparing for its own Hiroshima and has drawn up plans to not only introduce the weapon of mass destruction into the Middle East but even use it against Iran.

So what ? China has plans for us. Russia has plans for us. The USA has plans to nuke practically everyone. Making a plan is just a sign of a good staff.

If the survival of their country was at stake, of course the Israelis would use their nuclear weapons. The United States would do the same.

Israel wants Iran to think that those 'evil Jews' just might do it.
Israel do not let military plans leak unless they want them leaked.

This shows Israel's restraint instead of an immediate military action.

If Israel had tactical nukes, would it use them against Iran?

No.
