Iranian web site: Iranian nuclear weapons mean the end of Israel, even if they are never used

An Iranian web site, whose connection to the Iranian government is not clear (to me), claims that an Iranian nuclear weapon spells the end of Israel even if the weapon is never used.

"The truth is that Israel knows very well that even if Iran obtains nuclear weapons, it will never use them except in self-defense, in the event of a non-conventional or nuclear attack. Rather, Iran's possession of such weapons will sow in Israel a sense of insecurity – and this sense alone will be enough to shatter the glass palace of this illegitimate regime in the Middle East.

"An Iran with nuclear weapons means an end to the dream of 'secure Israel' – and this means the exodus of most of the residents of this occupied land (who immigrated there for absolute security and for jobs). This exodus will include human, financial, and other capital, and therefore will be a death sentence for this regime.

"Thus, [it can be concluded that] the [worldwide] Iranophobia project is actually a Zionist activity aimed at covering its Achilles heel without acknowledging its main fear – the fear that impacts the glass palace of Israel's absolute security. Tel Aviv is using expressions such as 'the international community's concern' and others to hide its main fear."

An exodus prompted by the existence of an Iranian nuclear weapon is a concern here, and a poll showed that last year.

But it's a concern precisely because most people here do not believe that Iran would only use a nuclear weapon in self-defense, and because most people here believe that Iran would use its nuclear weapon to protect the Hamas and Hezbullah terror organizations so that they could strike us with impunity.

That's why Israel will take military action (if no one else does) to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. As we see it, there is no choice.
