It was not long ago that Iran said that Israel should be completely destroyed and be out of existence altogether.
I agree with Livia, don't underestimate Israel and I also have no belief at all that Israel would even risk any nuclear action either.
Israel does have the right to exist however, without all the threats constantly thrown its way from those countries surrounding it.

Actually Joey whilst I agree the last Iranian President Ahmadinejad was aggressive and confrontational towards Israel, his words were taken out of context. He actually said that the Zionist state would disappear into the pages of history.
slightly different to saying I am going to drop a nuclear bomb on you.
and if I am honest a vast number of people around the world Jews and Non Jews alike would love to see this Zionist state consigned to the History books.
I wish people would stop cherry picking or spinning these words to suit there own agendas.
And as a footnote - Why does the current regime in Israel have so many enemies (the list grows by the day) ...go and have a look and check out some of the many atrocities committed by israel in recent years.
maybe start with them invading Gaza and deploying chemical weapons on mainly women and Children and shelling Hospitals.
Yes...that would be a good place to start.
