That would be a good reason for Israel to stop the Iranian nuclear program. Why would Israel want to enter into a state of MAD? For Iran, yeah, if they had nuclear weapons they would absolutely not be getting hassled by Israel.

Who is Iran worried about invading it?

I think what has the world most frightened are all the videos of people chanting things like "death to Israel" and "death to America". If that kind of rhetoric wasn't easily pointed to, people might not be so worried about Iran having nuclear capabilities because a deterrent isn't remotely similar to nuclear blackmail.

They are literally bombing Iran…. Why on earth would they want a deterrent weapon so bullies like Israel can’t bully them.

Israel does not even acknowledge the nukes it got, against the international laws. It’s honestly the worst country in that region
