...but I'm fairly sure Iran already has nukes. But to use them, dignifies Bibi, which will be a major loss on the world stage. Bibi is trying to get them to use them and they aren't taking the bait. If anything, they are trying to get Bibi to use his nukes. Because once their birds fly, Iran is perfectly justified to use their own. But lets hope it doesn't come to that.
