I think you may have misunderstood what I meant....once the Iranians are known to have a nuclear capability definitively, Israel will no longer have a choice other than to act and I honestly believe the US may be prepared to accept a 'tactical/surgical' nuclear strike.

It would certainly send a stark message to any other wannabes in the area.

Not that I want to see any of the above happen but what are the alternatives/choices?
