Like fuck they will, shut up, they won't bomb their holy land. Assuming they'd ever use a nuclear weapon (highly unlikely) they'd rather try to bomb another potential enemy and easy target such as the UK. But do you honestly see Iran developing nuclear arms anytime in the next 2 years?

I hate the news.

Since when Israel is a holy land for Iran?

I'm not even going to answer that.

edit: Think of the relgion backlash.

Iran is mostly Muslim. Israel is the country that governs several Muslim holy sites, such as The Dome of the Rock

Why do you think Iran will target the UK, James? It seems like a pretty unique target and I haven't seen any problems diplomatically between the two countries.

Right, but do they actually care? I.e. Ahmadinejad calls to "wipe Israel off the map".

He was not speaking directly about the country itself but about the government. I think he literally meant "Israel", the label on the country, instead of the land.

I hardly see Iran targeting the UK, we're not an easy target at all.

Iran just needs like nuclear power for good, tbh.

And it is a holy place cus like the ex-place before Mecca/Kabah was, as clyzm mentioned

@derek and jake

I know, but we'd most likely be allied with USA and another potential ally through Australia if a full scale war with nuclear arms threats are undertaken by if the arms are not used or not Iran. We're the easiest valuable target to bomb and we'd instantly be out of a war crippled if we get blasted Hiroshima Japan style. If they manage that they're going to make life easier on their home front but maybe make a few more enemies on the way.

Also note the unlikely comment I said, all countries worth a damn including Iran should know that there's no point in instigating a world war or nuclear attack because the consequences and lack of rewards aren't worth it. Attacking with nuclear weapons during a war is another story.

They should care, the backlash from the world wide Muslim, Christian and Jewish community would be out raged if Isreal got nuked by Iran. It'll cause them more damage than anything because people would use religion as an excuse world wide to attack Iran in one concentrated effort. Muslims however will not be bothered by a simple attack and conquest, to NUKE it is different.

Derek is right, they won't harm the land because they want it.

We're the easiest target, out of the powers that are essentially untouchable.

The news of the premeditated strike would be known within a day or two and the allied backlash would be almost immediate.

As you implied, it's just mutual suspicion.
