....but no one, Israeli or American, is seriously proposing NUKING Iran.

You are partially correct. I believe the Pentagon were asked about a year ago (according to Seymour Hirsh) to look into the possibility of using nukes to destroy the vast underground facilities. As for Israel, neither you nor I would know if they were planning to use nukes.

My point was that Israel has the only nuclear deterrent in the ME and therefore Iran could not seriously think of firing a few rockets at them whereas Israel can bomb Iran's facilities at any time. They not only can, but they have said they '...will not accept Iran having a nuclear capability."

You can't get more threatening than that!

Now how do you explain Israel's recent attack on Syria? Was it not meant to show other ME states that Israel can bomb anything?
