>a) It's Israel that Iran wants to threaten, not America. And Israel is just a hop, skip, and a jump away.

Israel can defend itself.

>b) What do you think about relying on MAD to keep Iran in check? Should we just let them have one and just trust whoever told you that Iran will only have a "questionable ability" to deploy it?

It's not even MAD. Iran could take out a city in Israel, but Israel could turn Iran into glass in a matter of hours afterwards. And we're talking ten to fifteen years down the line, if anything could happen.

It's not a matter of somebody telling me that Iran will only have a questionable ability to deploy it. They could probably deploy it against Israel. They can't deploy it against us, which as an American, I'd be most concerned about.

And Israel has more nukes than anyone in the region.
