I love the irony, Israel has always denied they have nukes, yet there is a lot of evidence out there that says they already have that capability. Iran doesn't have nukes, yet could one day in the future, so we better attack them. Funny thing is if I ran Iran, I would want nukes since I have crazies like the IDF and US making threats every single year.
The US will not back Israel, simply because they don't have the resources to fight a war of that scale now or anytime in the coming years. And hell, the IDF are at peace with Hamas for the time being, maybe they just want to make sure they always have a conflict ready in case boring peace breaks out.
