#1 The way I see it, Iranian "leaders" have already threatened destruction. The legal realm for action is wide open. They are apostates anyway.

#2 "We don't believe all the Iranian rhetoric. I don't even think the average Iranian believes it,"

This remains a huge mistake on the part of this world's non-Muslim population. These blowhard terrorist wankers need to be taken at their word. They must be held directly responsible for every little threat and menacing gesture made. There must be consequences for such maliciousness. By not punishing such acts we only encourage more of them.

Additionallyby not reactingwe cement our own image as a paper tiger and further embolden those who are so fond of saber-rattling. Some Muslim heads need to be blown off in midsentence before a few really big crowds to get this point across. Allowing such inflammatory rhetoric to go unrewarded only serves our enemey's ends and not our own.

#5 The 'Doomsday Scenario' Israel will launch after a 'Green Light' given by the Mossad,Shin Bet,The Shayetet, and Patriarchs of Jerusalem in an Above Top Secret meeting. Of the 200+ nuclear warheads Israel possesses; 20 of these LOG (Light Of GOD)weapons will be activated from hidden desert launch points, fighter jets, and submarines to subdue the enemy.
The trump card will be the US's position on 'taking the honor' (with the capacity); to preserve it's status as the only country in the history of the world to deploy and detonate such weapons against another country! This of course assumes that tactical nuclear bunker busters weren't used in Syria last week!

#10 Iran would be suicidal to launch 600 at Israel. They would have to cross over Iraq and risk US counter strikes/anti-missile launches. Plus Israel has counter-missile batteries around valuable targets. Oh sure, some missiles would get through and kill people in the countryside, but the Israeli rage would be so great that they would have to strike Iran hard and the US most likely would join in the fun.
