They’ll hit the US first. Take us out and they’ll remove the big brother from protecting Israel. Not to mention the whole “God protecting Israel” thing...

Hitting the US first would be the only way to guarantee their extinction.

It would take thousands of nukes to successfully destroy our ability to wipe out most of the world, let alone Iran.
And before you start with an argument that we would do nothing, remember that the US is the only country to ever use a nuclear weapon in open warfare.

Iran would cease to exist.

They won’t hit us first. The fact of this serious matter is Iran will indeed gain a couple of relatively crude nuclear devices within the next three to ten years, but they will be on par with the 1945 nukes we used, not our ‘dial a nuke’ technology.

They won’t have several THOUSAND on hand, as we do today, in short.

They’ll hit Israel. My guess is via a nuclear bomb carrying ship, or even a fishing boat, at Haifa. They won’t risk losing it trying to get it into Tel Aviv via truck, and they don’t have the delivery system to send it via a parabolic arc.

To me the more pertinent question is will we, the United States, grant asylum to the survivors of Israel being hit with a nuclear weapon. The country is so small, a nuclear explosion - and believe the Iranians will in fact make it as ‘dirty’ a nuke as possible...well, it would end Israel’s existence as a nation in my opinion, due to the fall out alone.

Obama might send a strongly worded letter in response, but thats about it.
