If Isreal uses nukes....then i won't be surprise to see terrorist attacks in the name of Jihad.

I honestly wonder sometimes if these idiotic leaders really know what they are getting themselves and their countries into.

It's like a poker game really; each side is betting more and more; they have nothing, both are bluffing, but as soon as one goes all in and they flip the cards, TSHTF and its game over for another generation of humans.

I don't think any side is better than the other really; both need to undergo massive regime/political changes before any kind of real stable peace will take hold. Unfortunately, 95% of the time these regime changes come from war, violence, and revolution.

All I can do is pray for the countless innocent souls that will be lost in another childish, ridiculous slap-fight.

Iran has more oil then God. Do you really think Isreal is going to nuke Iran because todays its board? They will nuke Iran only if it has to to survive. Why are so many people so stupid they can't figure this out?

Well I wouldn't dismiss the idea of the Israelis launching a missile from one of their subs at a US boat from close to the Iranian shore, just to make it look like an Iranian attack. After all, it amost worked once before, didn't it!

Israel is the problem child in the region, and they do own the US government so US support, and lives, are of course to be used in any confrontation. Once Iran is dealt with, they'll be wanting dumb goy Americans to go fight Syria, Jordan, Lebanon etc....etc.....etc....

If anything nuclear goes off in that region of the world where soo much oil is sittting, the fall out will limit / eliminate the possibilty to drill for oil where ever the strike was launched, thats means trading for that oil will be affected, shipment and production of that oil will be affected, and we will be effected greatly,

if there are retailiation attacks, and other nations sitting on oil get involved you can probably count on a U.S draft, and the begining of another world war....

so if the powers that be want to eliminate over 2/3rds of the worlds population, heres the chance....

I’m not trying to minimize the consequences of using nukes but the tactical nukes Israel are talking about using are 1/15 the size used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and are designed to detonate very far below the surface of the ground as a bunker buster type bomb.
I know, I know nukes are nukes but I just wanted to point out that were not talking about dropping bombes on cities here. Ether way lets hope they don’t have to use them.

Can Israel really afford to cross this line?

Setting the nuke precedent would be a major mistake for them.

Israel will use 'tactical nuclear warheads' against Iran... But, "NO IRAN! YOU CAN'T HAVE THE SAME DETERRENT TOYS AS US! NAUGHTY YOU!"

Yet they just blabber on as if thats the way its meant to be.

No hypocrisy here at all...
People who are generally responsible, get to have weapons
People who are criminals, aggressive, irresponsible don't get to have weapons .

The good guys use their weapons to eliminate the bad guys, and Iran has shown in multiple ways they are bad, so now it is wacking time, just hope a full and complete wacking is unleashed.

Oh troll i mean ...lol you mean good = USA USA USA and bad = rest of the world that aren't your allies (that includes germany and russia)former soviet republic and nazi's lol anyway you better hope a full whacking isn't unleashed because i bet my bottom dollar if iran is nuked israel will come under a wall of pain even if iran is TOTALY obliterated you think hezbollah hamas and the PLO will have anything to lose? and i'm pritty sure the muslims inside israel will have a few things to riot about. if ya know what i mean

I wonder if this is linked to the Isreali boats travelling the Suez Canal? Are they gearing up to something? I don't think Isreal will use nukes but it wouldn't surprise me if they launch an attack at some point.

I'm sorry but this is outright and UTTER HEARSAY WITH NO FOUNDATION IN ACTUALITY.

Those guys are sitting there essentially creating their own narrative.

No where does any Israeli official in any way shape or form say anything of the sort whatsoever.

What rot.

Booo.

Believe it or not, Iran can/does have peaceful uses for uranium enriched to around 20%. Medical isotope production normally uses this grade.

Yes, I said medical isotopes. You know for treating cancer, bad thyroids and other stuff. But no those Iranians they can't have that. they should just die of all that stuff right? /sarcasm

And yea, they are probably trying to build a bomb but as we have them and Israel has them-I don't care, let em have it I say. fair is fair.

I have to add something here. The absurdity of some of these claims is just mind boggling. The IAEA has Iran's sites under surveillance 24 hours a day. You think they are going to build a weapon without them knowing? You think they are going to move material without them knowing?
