Quote:Hey, if Iran wants to turn itself into a parking lot, there's one fewer hostile nation out there.

 

Not nearly as catastrophic as it would be for Iran. In fact, now that you've introduced the question of fallout, I wonder if Iran would even use a nuclear weapon against Israel. Is it worth risking turning Jerusalem into a fallout-laden ghost town to take a shot at Israel?

 

This is just my opinion, but I don't think that those that would use a nuke willingly (radical governments or extremists) even think about the implications of fallout.  I believe that their main objective(s) would be to kill as many Israelis as well as "send a message" to the world.  The kind of people that we are dealing with are not exactly known for any kind of "precision", rather they tend to be pretty reckless.
