Israel's nuclear capability

[bannork]

 

 Estimates of Israel's stockpile range between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads

 

Its first deliverable nuclear weapon is thought to have been completed in late 1966 or early 1967; which would make it the sixth country in the world to have developed them.^[2][22][23]

I would have thought Israel has enough nuclear weapons already itself to frighten off any near adversary. Even the Iranian mullahs don't want to reach paradise too early.

There’s no record of them ever testing a nuclear device.

Israel also have nuclear missiles on submarines, so even if the Mullahs managed to turn Israel into glass, Tehran would still be converted into a landfill of death bodies.

Maybe that is why everyone 🤔 is leaving the city at the moment?

 

[johng]

Theres no record of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Palestine or Iran testing one either.

Maybe Tehran will join an exclusive list that begins with two Japanese sounding city names 🤔?

There is NO Palestine

Which begs the question, why, if Israel is trying to commit genocide, what is taking so long?

What if China just flew in a nuclear bomb? Pakistan threatened Israel, 

 

If Israel nukes Iran, Russia and China have obligations and a deal with Iran.

 

Time to understand This is on a much bigger Scale then Israel just nukes Iran because they can. It is suicide

Cognitive dissonance. The countries that have nukes and havent used them probably wont but iran will

I dont think the fear is that Iran will use one - IMO the fear is that they will give one to their radical terrorist organisations that they support, and let them do it - and deny it was them that supplied it. Imagine if Hamas had access to a nuclear weapon - even a small one like the W54 would have catastrophic impact if they somehow snuck one into Tel Aviv.

What deal do China and Russia have with Iran?

 

All China cares about in regard to Iran, is oil.

Exactly. That’s why having a “deliverable” is not that important.

The same reasoning stigma was said about N-K

 

There is a long history leading up tonthis point, and I will not use one kilocalorie trying to reasoning why we are where we are today. 

 

I just saying, you want to start a war, do it now before to late.

Would you praise or condemn Trump if he aids Israel in destroying Iran’s nuclear program?

Iran does not have a nuclear weapon..US intelligence says just a few weeks ago

But according to Isreal  they have been months away from one for the last 30 years.

Never mind that the Iranian government has said they are pursuing nuclear electricity production  as is their sovereign right, had signed up to the nuclear non proliferation treaty and had let IAEA inspectors in to inspect facilities for 20 years..non of which Isreal has done.

Maybe if iran kept quiet about their desire to use the nukes then they could have them by now. Unfortunately their reputation now is that of a thug

Quite, even now making empty nuclear threats.

 

The Iranian Regime’s official account has released a video of a man stroking a nuclear bomb.

So the countries that have nukes haven't used them and probably won't, but the country that doesn't have them (Iran) WILL use use them? Talk about cognitive dissonance.
