Let us pretend.Iran decides to launch a nuclear warhead at Israel, the closest target it can actually reach.A – Israel’s Iron Dome shoots it down, radioactive debris scatters on East Palestine, Jordan and Syria, even if Israel doesn’t respond, the UN, USA, Europe, and the Middle East lock Iran down on all sides. Consequences ensue.B – Iron Dome fails to intercept, Tel Aviv or another major Israeli city explodes. Radioactive debris falls all over East Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and other nations east of the explosion, including possibly Iran sickening and/or killing thousands more. Israel fires up to one nuke for every Iranian population center over 25k people unless they wait long enough to see what the irradiated nations and the rest of the world decides to do to Iran first.What has Iran just won?Nuclear weapons are no longer first strike weapons. They are the… if you attack me hard enough to defeat me, I’ll use this, weapon.There are always crazy people who can change the dynamic, too many think God wants them to start Armageddon, but in a relatively sane world, no one wants to be the recipient of the world’s anger for being the one to use a third nuclear explosion in anger.Respectfully,C.
