I think that the entire Islamic world will be so dazed and confused that they won't know what to do. Mecca is not just any city, it is the heart and soul of Islam. The whole of the Islamic way of life revolves around Mecca. It would be lke nuking Rome, the church would not survive. the majority of Muslims are backward and illiterate peasants whos lives are so sopped in superstition that they would think that G-d had deserted them and they would simply give up and commit suicide or go crazy. They wouldn't be able to comprehend how such a thing was at all possible. The whole basis of their belief in Islam would cease to exist. Pakistan would be just as bad off as would any of them. Pakistan does not have the capability of delivering a nuclear bomb beyond a few thousand miles.. Certainly not as far as Europe or the U.S.

As far as Iran is concerned, it could be wiped off the map with two multi headed missles.
