This is true, but the worry is that it may not be true for leaders who have flatly stated that one of their goals is to wipe out the nation of an opposing belief system. Both the United States and the Soviet Union knew that a nuclear war would likely lead to the destruction of everything that we know. The worry is that Iran may not care, or devoutly believe that their God will protect them from the results of such a conflict.
