Johny Treman, WE just had an documentary that brought some of the points that Lance Freeman made. The USA and Israel have been attacking Iran scientists. Israel killed one and the USA kidnapped several. One of the scientists that went to the USA , turned against the USA and esposed their atiivities. IRAN has been killing American and Israelis for DECADES all over the world.
You do not need a declared war to start attacking Iran. Israel has already said it will attack Iran ones its nuclear echnoly gets to a certain stage. I do not think Iran would use its one nuclear rocket to attack Israel. Iran will deliver nukes via jet aircraft--it is decades away from a deliverable effective warhead and the aiming of it--a stupendous accomplishment. Their rocketry is sub-par early 1950's SCUD knock-offs of terrible quality. They all require primitive steering rockets welded to the fuselage to even make it up to a decent speed to fly at all. Not to say they might not TRY to. The SS-1 cannot lift much--the trick to nuclear weaponry is light and powerful and the triggering is not hitting the dirt--it is a sophisticated air burst at an effective altitude--not easy on a re-entry vehicle. But don't forget--you shoot of JUST ONE nuke that is unsuccessful--and you'll get in return an Israeli counter attack fusillade of staggering proportion--enough to wipe out the entire population of Iran--every single person. Most likely delivered by jet attack aircraft as well flying below radar--impossible to shoot down--the Israelis wrote the book on this tactic. Then--ALL HELL breaks loose in the entire region for 25 years of total insanity until hundreds of millions are dead. It's an old story--as old as time. Its response will be like Palestine children trowing stones across the border to Israel.
Of course all notions will eventually get nuclear weapons like all other weapons. All acquire gas, Submarines, Aircraft, and weapons as they were developed. But not all were use. Gos has rarely been used.
The same with Nuclear weapons, the USA, USSR, China, India , Pakistan ,Britain , France and Israel all have nuclear weapons. Do these countries still stone women to death and cut off arms? Are they run by literally insane religious fanatics rooted in the 7th century A.D.? All have agree to reduce their stockpile but none have. But no nuclear weapons has been used since 1945. It may be like Gas , it would not be effective onces everyone has it. I can not see a nuclear war in the Middle East. Naive--in the extreme. However the uncover war will continue
