A nuke is a nuke according to the various treaties. AND in the minds of most peole. Even if they see an intellectual distinction, there's still the slippery slope issue. If Israel can use it on Iran, what's to stop someone from using it on Israel? That's the whole point of why Israel may feel compelled to use them, to keep Iran from having them so they can't use them. Had Iran not been a state sponsor of terrorism for decades especially against Israel and supporting through finance, military training and weaponry of Hamas and instigated the last war, Iran could be viewed in a whole different light when it came to nuclear energy. Iran has no beef with Israel, so why do they repeatedly threaten them?
