First of all this deal is an international one, not just the US. I know it confounds me why the world doesn't realize the word revolves around the U.S. or more precisely the republicans

Pakistan is so much more stable than Iran of course

Oh, but back to the question. Nothing unless attacked. And if they tried to use it, guess what, they would be attacked. It is something called peaceful coexistence. After the Cuban missile cris it became in style

The Middle East is a relatively small area, and any nuclear device detonation would mean bye bye, game over

MAD.... mike_c Apr 2015 #3

Nothing. Of course they're not going to bomb Israel, that's totally absurd. scarletwoman Apr 2015 #4

And who can blame them? We have them pretty much completely surrounded. arcane1 Apr 2015 #13

The concern is they will fund proxy wars like they are doing in Yemen right now davidn3600 Apr 2015 #20

No. H2O Man Apr 2015 #5

Hopefully, nothing like what we did with our bombs. Tierra_y_Libertad Apr 2015 #6

Yep, MAD is my guess also. They would use it as a deterrent against anyone nuking them. GoneFishin Apr 2015 #7

Use it as a deterrent, like everyone else. The "bomb Israel" bit is too silly even for a movie. arcane1 Apr 2015 #8

Newsmax is a fascist site with push polls, a mini-me of Fox....my thoughts. Fred Sanders Apr 2015 #9

That explains the results. qwlauren35 Apr 2015 #14

Might as well ask about a Alex Jones poll..Newsmax is a turd site. Believe nothing from that scum. Fred Sanders Apr 2015 #16

What would Iran do with an atomic bomb? Kelvin Mace Apr 2015 #18

Probably the same thing Israel does with their bombs. NutmegYankee Apr 2015 #19

Just stockpile them like other nuclear powers. roamer65 Apr 2015 #23
