well 1 I will assume that Israel was struck...and survived to attack .or launched before nuked , but after nuke was fired by Iran....Retaliation is a very different motive then deciding to attack or not.  Take normal fight for example....I will not walk up to a guy bigger then me who I know would win in a fight and attack him....however if he hit me, I would throw what ever I had at him, even knowing I would lose. my motivation has changed...If Iran sent a nuke at Israel...most likely yes, it would launch back, if only for revenge...because really it has nothing to lose anymore. Iran at its first launch would have to know that as soon as that missile fired....Iran as a nation....was over . Its leaders, will be killed. Its Army will be gone...and at worst mankind is dead.


as for if deterrence fails...then preemptive strike. is only other option. I have no problem with a preemptive strike...my issue with Iraq as one, was the flawed and poor Intel , and lack of a real threat to the US to force the action.
