Israel has warned that Iran could try to attack the US if it acquired a nuclear weapon.
Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, appealed to world leaders to act now to prevent Iran from continuing its nuclear programme.
"If it built even a primitive nuclear weapon like the type that destroyed Hiroshima, Iran would not hesitate to load it on a ship, arm it with a detonator operated by GPS and sail it into a vital port on the east coast of North America," Mr Barak told a conference of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University.
Indicating the possibility of an Israeli military strike on Iran, Mr Barak said: "We are not taking any option off the table, and we recommend to the world not to take any option off the table, and we mean what we say."

So many tests, so little time! Which one is it going to be Joe? Could you stand up and tell us?????
If the ME goes up n a nuclear holocost where will the fallout land? Syria? Egypt? Jordan?
Iran isn’t going to even attempt to attack the USA with a nuclear bomb. They are sooooooooooooooooo deathly afraid of the “Magic Mullatto” (sarcasm added)
A container ship arrives in NYC. Simultaneously, the terrorists send the president a message: "Check out the container ship. It's carrying a bomb. It's not the first we've sent to America. We can set them off at any time. Don't mess with us."
Second step in the process: The next day, Israel is hit by a nuclear bomb.
The US does nothing, and offers no explanation for its inaction.
Hey, if I were a terrorist with exactly two nukes, that's how I'd play against Obama.
Islamic nations with arsenals of nukes are a danger to the entire world. Alas, the camel’s nose is already under the tent, and has been for 10 years — Pakistan. Iran looks like it’ll be next (if we allow it). And after that, the Sunni Muslim nations will have to have nukes as well. One Islamic nation possessing these weapons is dangerous enough; any more than that and we’ll be looking at a certain catastrophe.
My greatest fear is not a nuke strike on one of our cities. It’s a nuke detonation overhead. Massive EMP that puts a big chunk of the USA back to 19th-century technology in an instant. THAT would be far more devastating over the long run.
To understand Iran, you must understand the little whacko’s theology. It’s easy to understand since he’s not shy about preaching it. He believes with every fiber of his being that it is his holy destiny to pave the way for the 12th imam by launching a devastating blow against Christians and Jews. When he has a nuke and a means to deliver it, he’ll do so. This is not about posturing for him, and someone better figure that out pretty dang quick.

No doubt true, imho.
Along with nukes in Venezuela . . . both ends of the Panama canal . . . in various container ships in many of our ports . . . trucked to wherever . . .
I tend to think the first strike against the USA would only provoke a nuclear response that would decimate the country of origin. Are they really naive enough to think they would destroy the US with nuclear weapons and escape being vaporized? Or is our president elect too big of a candy a$$ to retaliate?
Hmmmmmmmm. I think I read about that happening in a book somewhere ...
Iran could also cease to exist, neither politically nor even geographically...
The Muslim Messiah, Pelosi, and Reid couldn’t care less. They never met a terrorist they didn’t sympathize with or felt sorry for. No doubt their white surrender flags are in the top drawer of their desks. The USA is last on their list of priorities. It comes behind power, greed, and ego. Liberals are not to worry, our enemies are thrilled with the President-elect and are rubbing their hands together in glee.
“...Are they really naive enough to think they would destroy the US with nuclear weapons and escape being vaporized? Or is our president elect too big of a candy a$$ to retaliate?”
I go with Obama is a candy a$$ chicken sh*t who will allow the Israel to disappear off the face of the earth while risking our homeland at the same time.
Sounds like yer basic win-win to me!
