What would happen if Iran nuked Israel?

Question

Would Israel be able to nuke them back?
Would the US nuke Iran?
Would Russia and the UK get involved?

Will this be Irans "multifaceted response" to the U.N. on Aug. 22nd?

Answer 1

Iran does seem to be enriching uranium to make nuclear weapons and not just nuclear power.

If Iran were to send a missile towards Israel, Israel would likely use countermeasures to destroy the missile. Iran just might attack Israel because something in Islamic prophecy says that the Mahdi (guided one) will appear (zuhur) after the destruction of Israel. On the other hand, it would be very costly to Iran. American forces are stationed in neighboring Iraq and in Afghanistan. The US is in a position to use overwhelming force against Iran, so I doubt whether Iran would nuke Israel.

But if Iran did nuke Israel, the US would respond.

As regards the date of August 22, Prof. Lewis made a prediction that Iran would attack Israel, but it did not take place.

I believe that tIran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, truly believes that he is Allah's representative on Earth to rid the world of fitnah (disbelief in Allah).

On August 21, Ayatollah Khamenei said on Iranian TV that Iran had "made its own decision" and would "continue its path".

Furthermore, Mohammad Saeedi, the deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, Mohammad Saeedi, said that suspension of uranium enrichment was "no longer possible". He also said a heavy water production plant at Arak would become operational "in the near future".

On August 22 Ali Larijani, hand delivered Iran's 21-page response to UNSC 1696 the package of incentives to dissuage Iran from uranium enrichment with uranium hexafluoride gas in its Russian-built 1,000-megawatt reactor at Bushehrand Natanz. Iran's top nuclear negotiator said that Tehran was ready to enter "serious negotiations" over its disputed nuclear program but did not say whether it was willing to suspend uranium enrichment — the West's key demand. This was because the West had offered many economic incentives.

Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, though it has not ratified two additional protocols to the International Atomic Energy Agency's Program 93 + 2, which is designed to prevent states from developing nuclear weapons covertly.

On August 31 the UNSC will set economic and diplomatic sanctions against Iran if it continues to enrich uranium. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei avers that Iran has a right to have nuclear weapons. Leaders of the Iranian hard-line regime, believe they have a direct line to God, and they'll do whatever 'divine inspiration' requires them to do. Talking to them is pointless.

On August 19, Iran launched a large-scale area, sea and ground exercise he maneuver, the Blow of Zolfaghar (the sword used by Imam Ali), which involved 12 divisions, army Chinook helicopters, unmanned planes, parachutists, electronic war units and special forces. Iran's state-run television reported that the new anti-aircraft system was tested "to make Iranian air space unsafe for our enemies."

On Sunday, August 20, in the Kashan desert about 250 kilometers southeast of the capital of Tehran, Iran tested the Saegheh missile which has a range of between 80 to 250 kilometers. Saegheh means lightning in Farsi. (The language of Iran is not Arabic and Iranians are not Arabs.)
Iran's arsenal also contains the Shahab-3 missile, which means "shooting star" in Farsi, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. It has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers and can reach Israel and US forces in the Middle East.

Iran's military test-fired a series of missiles during large-scale war games in the Persian Gulf in March and April, including a missile it claimed was not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously.

The Iranian news service Al-Borz, predicted that on the first anniversary of Iranian President Ahmadinejad's government, in late August 2006, Ahmadinejad is expected to announce what the news service called Iran's "nuclear birth."

In addition, an August 23, 2006 article about Iran's reply to the incentives proposal, that was posted on the Iranian Foreign Ministry-affiliated website , implied that Iran's nuclear technology had already reached the point of no return: "...

The following are excerpts from the Al-Borz report:

"It is expected that the first anniversary of the forming of the ninth government will be the date of the Ahmadinejad government's 'nuclear birth.'

"... Together with [the celebration of] the anniversary of the forming of the ninth cabinet, the president of the country [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] will hold his third press conference... where he will answer questions from journalists from Iran and from abroad.

"In addition to detailing the activities of the government at the end of [its first] year, the head of the government [i.e. Ahmadinejad] will officially present Iran's positions on: economic and cultural matters, the nuclear dossier, the activities of nuclear research centers, and developments in the region."

Answer 2

Israel will nuke Iran and obviously some others. Iran does not have a weapon to deliver these Nukes that makes the question prempting and in the wrong time. You should ask the question the other way What would happen if Israel Nuked Iran. This is the real one and try to answer that one because it is more realistic and possible to happen.

Answer 3

Israel is more likely to nuke Iran, I agree with Pita. Iran does not have the capability YET.

However, Iran should be dealt with on a diplomatic basis. Do you remember, or have you studied the cold war in school? The USSR was our mortal enemy. The Soviets had missles aimed directly at US cities. Both countries built enough capacity to blow the world up many times. The US had bombers in the air at all times, ready to strike back if Russia fired first. China got on board with nuclear in 1963 or thereabouts. These countries were really, really our enemies of 30 years standing.

But we negotiated the big part of this nuclear threat away. The leaders were smart and mature enough not to want to use their nukes. The US also persued a policy for many years of limiting nuclear in other countries, both nuclear power and nuclear arms.

Do you remember a few months ago when Bush was in India and announced cooperation with them to build more nuclear power stations? This is something else to worry about.

Answer 4

What might they nuke them with? possibly they might sneak into Israel, scouse borrow there unlawful nukes and use those. It boggles the innovations to work out what number human beings nevertheless have self assurance the rubbish that they are fed with reference to the goings on interior the middle east. yet in basic terms for argument sake, shall we are saying the impossible did take place and Iran nuked Israel. of direction China and Russia and dozens of different countries might get in contact while the U.S. and Israel retaliates. do no longer throw Britain interior the mixture. They already learnt the complicated way what happens once you help the U.S. Ask Tony Blair. curiously Brits are somewhat greater clever knowledgeable than human beings.

Answer 5

If Israel was nuked (especially with more than one warhead), they would essentially be blown of the map. Of course, the US would have to get involved (to "protect democracy" or "stop illegal weapons programs"), and we would have an all-out World War. The "multi-facted response" will certainly touch on this subject of Iran's weaponry.

Answer 6

Isreal will nuke Iran. Iran will renuke isreal. Isreal will ask US for help. US will then nuke Iran. North Korea will then nuke US. US will nuke N. Korea. China will get invovled somehow. UK will be dead in the first minute they enter it. Basically end of the world as we know it.

Answer 7

Well the United States would probably immediatly contact its allies -Which include: United Kingdom, Japan, Canada and Austrailia. Then the United States would probably go nuke Iran. There would probably be a WWIII. I hope to God that will never happen.

Answer 8

I think the US and UK would nuke the hell out of them.

Personally, with everyone expecting them to do it, I don't see it happening. But lets hope not.

Who knows about Russia?

Answer 9

Israel would nuke them back

Answer 10

If you watch only one conspiracy documentary ever, make it this one. This just might be the best introductory video out there. Understand that every claim made in this is fact, not opinion, no matter how wild it sounds. It's all easily verifiable through mainstream news archives and public documents.
