    Iran's missile range is 2,000 km, Israel is in it's range.

    Israel is but we are NOT.I agree Israel would be there first target. Israel would own Iran if they did that though.

    That's why it's probably a 99% chance it won't happen.

    Iran is no threat to us now but in how many years will they be? It's obvious that they don't plan on stopping anytime soon. They will improve their weapons until it does reach us.It's called a pre-emptive strike.

    Come on, they are not going to go shooting nukes off, the media is giving that impression and nobody seems to be smart enough to understand MAD...eh.

    If one nuclear weapon is fired then it will set off a chain reaction ultimately resulting in nuclear winter and the possible extinction of the human race, I don't see this happening.

    I doubt it starts a nuclear world war...If Iran shot one into Israel, Israel would respond and that would probably end it...Countries even in crisis would seriously have to consider each move. Nukes are used for show and tell more than a weapon.

    No, they're used to balance power. It's like we have nukes and you do too, so we have no advantage. But if we have them and you don't then we have a large advantage, so you better get some so that none of us have to use them. Also, I would think that we would interfere because Israel is our ally, and other countries would come to Iran's aid in an attempt to obliterate Israel once an for all, I think it would cause quite a mess.
