    Does Iran have operational nukes? They’d probably respond in kind. If not, they’d probably launch basically everything they have at Israel.

      Pakistan has made guarantees that they will retaliate with their nuclear weapons if a nuclear strike occurs on Iran.

      EDIT: I went to find a source and Pakistan has walked this back and are denying that they ever said it

      Even if they don’t have any nukes that they developed themselves, there’s always the possibility they could’ve bought one or two from North Korea…

      They do not, that’s kind of what this whole deal is about dude. And they’ve been launching what they have at Israel for a few days, it’s not much.

        Most countries, Israel included, don’t possess the material for a protracted war. Most Non-US countries can make war, at best, for six months.
