    Fuck off. The nukes exist so Israel knows how easily it can be flattened if it pulls something. The Nukes will only be used if Iran is nuked first.

    They need nukes. This whole situation would’ve never happened if Iran had nukes. It’s okay to admit that Khamenei was wrong, and that not having nukes turned out to be Iran’s biggest weakness.

      Israel knows how easily it can be flattened if it pulls something.

      Iran showed them in June how easily they could be flattened. It didn’t stick. Being told that they will be nuked will not matter. israelis are immune to “deterrence.” Every time they get deterred they forget why they stopped in a few days or weeks and then they go right back. Having a nuke does nothing except insure that nukes will be used. They are supremacists and exceptionalists, they believe the rules of reality do not apply to them.

      The Nukes will only be used if Iran is nuked first.

      What would stop them using them in a first strike? Morality? Law? Morality is not a constant. Laws can be changed. If Iran have nukes any missile could be armed with a nuke. israel would have to treat each one like they are under nuclear attack.

      If a nuke goes off in occupied Palestine all of Palestine get irradiated killing millions of people including Palestinians as well as people in neighboring countries. That doesn’t help anyone. Iran’s current set of tools are working perfectly fine why would they cut off their ability to use them?

      They need nukes. This whole situation would’ve never happened if Iran had nukes.

      This whole thing would have happened sooner if they had started building nukes. That has been the israeli narrative for starting war with Iran for decades.
