Bibi has said repeatedly that Iran will not be able to produce a nuke, ever. I trust him more than our 17 intel agencies (ever notice how they are never referred to as intelligence agencies).

Remember some years ago when a virus got in Iran's nuclear program and sent their centrifuges spinning out of control and set their program back years. I read where it was a virus Israel planted, they wanted to plant it in the central govt but were stopped by us. The fear was that their govt was so centrally controlled that if it was placed there EVERYTHING would stop working. Power, and the ability to pump water (pretty important when the population lives in the desert), communications, everything. And within days 100s of thousands could die.

Maybe this time Israel does release it, and without firing a shot they can take care of the issue with great deniability.

I don’t know but Israel and possibly Saudi Arabia will blow some shite up in Iran for sure. I would target any area that is working on nuclear whether it be energy or weapons. Bomb the crap out of it. Would probably do laser strikes and bunker busters in Tehran as well

Israel knows Iran's progress on nuclear capabilities. They will not allow Iran to go nuclear, period. Arab's remember what happened last time they got together and attacked Israel. Lol

A terrorist state with a nuclear weapon would be bad under any circumstance. Iran is the worst of the worst terrorist states. Their primary mission is to slaughter all the Jews in Israel. They've proven it countless times that they're not just talking. They will attack the second they think they can. They don't care about casualties of their minions.

Maybe if those casualties are in Tehran it might be a little more personal for them?

If I were the Supreme Ayatollah, I would be hiding in a bunker somewhere right now that the Israelis supposedly don’t know about.

Do you think Iran would be a threat?

Incredible to even speculate on, but would bombing Iran into submission or oblivion merely be playing into their hands and assisting them in realizing one of their peculiar Shiyah doctrinal beliefs.

There are other muslim nations that have nuclear who wouldn't hesitate to use them were it not for the potential drift back from some unfortunate wind shifts.

But there's an additional, different problem with Iran one that is both serious and preposterous in that they don't necessarily harbor the above fear for themselves.

Their particular brand of belief that involves actually looking forward to an unusual, unique "end times."

An end-of-world brand of eschatology that centers around the Mahdi (a very young boy who has been hiding in a well since the 15th Century) whose eventual appearance will usher in doomsday and the fulfillment of their scriptural Shiyah doctrine.

That type of lunacy combined with nuclear capability deserves real attention and concern.
