***Iran v Israel War official thread***

Speaking hypotheticals....if Israel nuked Iran would Russia (or someone else) nuke Israel?

I'm not convinced Russia does pull that trigger for Iran. Likewise, if Israel gets nuked I'm not at all convinced US pulls that trigger either.
Nobody knows for sure but minimum estimates for Israel is 80 Nukes and highest is 400, making it tied with China for 3. Russia will most certainly not nuke Israel.

I am curious if Israel has tactical nukes.

If they were in peril of being overrun or pounded flat even just with conventional weapons I could easily see them using battlefield tactical nukes to destroy their attackers and justify it by self defense.

Maybe, but they have a land size and proximity issue that makes it seem perhaps not a great idea.

I do know that so far we have:
2020 - Covid
2021 - 1/06/21
2022 - Russia invades Ukraine
2023 - 10/07/23
2024 - Nukes used in war?
 
if iran attacks is israel capable of handling them without us getting dragged in? i sure hope so. as do the taiwanese.
 
This feels like the 80s movie The Day After when, at the beginning, things were slowly but steadily escalating around the world and most people brushed it off as “no way they’ll ever use nukes, leaders will all figure out a peaceful solution,” but then BAM.
 
So israel knows that 100 missiles are going to be launched at them and they're just going to sit back and wait for them?
I'm guessing if 100 cruise missles are coming there will a very large number of drones first to overload Israel and US missle defenses.
 
Trump is a big Bibi fan. Wonder if he tried to convince Mike Johnson yesterday to invite Bibi to address a joint session of Congress.
 
Plenty of commercial traffic in the air, including over Iran and Persian gulf. Diddly squat is happening.
Air space closures commence about 27 min from now (2300 local). FlightAware is starting to show a couple turnarounds. Assuming goal is to allow any in-flight long-haul inbound to Amman to complete and then close.
