Englishman, because as of right now, Israel has the only nukes in the showdown. If it starts getting too hot, they WILL drop the bombs. That should do enough to stop any country from functioning, let alone retaliate in full strength, much like the US did to Japan in WWII. The alternative is to let Iran have the bomb, let them smuggle it through terrorist proxies, and then blow it up in Israel C”V. In that case it may be too late for a counter attack, and also Israel will also not have the international support of counter-nuking Iran because Iran didn’t attack Israel directly and they can shift the blame elsewhere. It’s a chess game, and what you are proposing is to let Iran have the queen, when that’s your only current advantage. It’s suicide.
