re: #300 transient

Two Iranian presidents, Ahmadinejad and Rafsanjani, have publicly stated that Iran could absorb nuclear retaliation. One nuke would essentially destroy Israel, but even half a dozen nukes would probably not annihilate Iran. They seem to feel it would be worth it.

Israel’s nuclear arsenal is estimated at 60-85 warheads. I can guarantee you that they could turn every square inch of Iran into sheet glass if they so desired.
