NO scenarios so far address the potential entry of Russia, Pakistan( and therefore India) into the frey. By the way, what happens when the mullahs deliver the nuke via a small unnoticed proxy group via , say, a Red Crescent ambulance, or food supply truck, and have no directly visible link to the devastation? The brave Muslims warriors, you know, the people that invented human-shields, sky-jacking commercial jets, and targetting schools, would probably choose this brave and honorable method of payload delivery. As far as U.S. demands for backing-off from confrontation. If the U.S. had problems with the Iraqi insurgency and the Taliban, imagine confronting the most modern military and 6th largest nuclear arsenal on earth. The U.S. should side with it's allies, or shut-up and let Israel once again roll-up it's sleeves and do what every other nation on the planet really wishes for (short of Israel vanishing); take Iran down fast & hard.
