Not at all, but I think a nuclear strike would act as an incentive to get one.

This is irrespective of the likelihood of nuclear release, the idea just occurred to me.

I dunno. I've always thought if it's something that groups who would actually use them (AQ type groups who've ALWAYS had an incentive to use them) could get, they'd have it by now with all that money and cunning. Perhaps the bombing of Iran would give certain states incentives to get these groups nukes to use as proxies? Is that what you're saying?

PD

Persian Gulf naval confrontation?
International sabre-rattling?
Invasion of Iran?
Possible use of nuclear weapons?
