We're saying the same thing.
I don't believe there will be any war, and surgical strikes are pointless.
My point was that a nuclear Iran ups the ante, since Israel will no longer be satisfied with tactical yield nukes in the 15-50Kt range, they are going
to want much bigger weapons with which to deal a quick and mortal blow to Iran should the need ever arise.
And arise it will, maybe 5, maybe 10 years from now Iran will slip a nuke to Hamas, and Israel's nightmare ride will begin.
I'll make this prediction though, Tel Aviv may well disappear in a mushroom cloud a few years from now, but if that happens, the entire Iranian
peninsula will be turned into a self-illuminating glass topped parking lot.
Israel will now be developing the capability to do just that - forget about the usual F-16s with 2,000lb bombs deal, this game just got a lot more
serious.
