It’s not that Iran will attack with nukes. I don’t think they will either.
It’s that they’ll be free to run proxy wars without fear of retaliation. Neighboring states won’t dare hit them back for fear of being nuked, even as they’re deluged with Hezbollah rockets or after having their leaders assassinated. Yes, we can manage that, but It’ll be expensive.
Mayhap you are correct. However, when your political leader has spent his entire life buried in the very bowels of islamic fundamentalism, when his entire life is dedicated to the glory of his allah and the rewards he hopes to reap therein, I don’t know?
Pile on top of that his total hatred of Israel … I believe he would nuke Israel if given a chance and the rest of his country (and the world) could just suck hind teat, as it were.
Just my opinion after listening to his rhetoric over the years. I believe that he is just as fanatic in his beliefs as the suicide bombers he encourages and sanctions and would not hesitate to sacrifice all for the glory of his moon god.
