> If Iran has nukes, then a nuke race will start in the middle East A fair concern, but it is interesting that although "estimates of Israel's stockpile range between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads" [1], we are not concerned about those warheads as much as we do about the ones Iran might have. Should US bomb Israeli nuclear plants? No. Should they have bombed the Iranian ones? Why?

Maybe it has something to do with Israel being an ally and Iran sponsoring terrorism all over the region | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

We didn't want Israel to have nukes either, we tried to stop them and failed. We wouldn't bomb Israel's nukes because they -already- have them, and they have grown in a semi-reliable regional ally since then. We are trying to stop Iran from having them at all to prevent them from being essentially off-limits to retaliation (note Iran is the #1 state sponsor of terrorism / people's fears of supporting Ukraine given Russia keeps threatening nuclear action) and kicking off a regional nuclear arms race. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
