They would have tested one to make all the warmongers stop their warmongering.
Iran doesn't have nukes. Simple as that.

If Israel really wanted war with Iran, don't you think they would have don't it by now. The leader of Iran is the modern day Hitler and just like back then, he had a ton of apologist like you.
The Jews have been persecuted since the beginning of time and Iran has taken the lead on that today with Hezbollah and Hamas. Iran is a Persian nation hi-jacked by Arabs who think it is their destiny to bring on their Mahdi by attacking Israel.
Last time I checked not one leader in Israel has said its our duty to wipe out Iran to bring back Jesus. Israel just wants them to stop building a nuclear weapon. Even Russia has blasted Iran publicly THREE times because they know what Iran is doing. Iran has made it pretty dam obvious that they are building a bomb. They made a new nose cone for their missiles that is only needed for nuclear type warheads, they wont let the IAEA in to see most of the suspected nuclear sites and they will not discus their nuclear program in peace talks yet they say they don't have a nuclear weapons program.
Israel will fail to exist as a nation if one nuclear weapon hits their capital. Iran has said that is it willing to sacrifice half of their country if it means destroying Israel!!!
Now who is crazy bent on war?

There is no official information where Israel has ever admitted to having nuclear weapons

so until proof comes out, Israels nuclear program is just as civilian orientated as Iran's is.
Israel is not a member of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and is widely understood to be the first and only country in the Middle East to possess nuclear weapons.
The history of the Israeli nuclear project is still shrouded in a great deal of secrecy. As part of Israel's policy of nuclear opacity (see below), Israel's military censorship prohibits publication of any factual Israeli-based information on the nuclear project.
Amnesty International has accused the Israeli authorities of subjecting jailed nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by holding him in solitary confinement.
The 56-year-old, who spent 18 years in prison for revealing details of the country's nuclear arsenal to a UK newspaper in 1986, was sent back to jail for three months on 23 May on charges of contact with a foreign national, and almost immediately placed in solitary confinement.

I mean after all people are arguing there is no evidence of Iran developing a nuclear weapons program.
They are not, but it is obligated, respectable, and increases transparency. There is NOTHING BAD that can come out of signing the NPT, unless your trying to hide something of course

Also if you would do your homework, countries are not forced to join the NPT.

Iran can withdraw and blatantly develop their nuclear weapons program and can use N. Korea as the precedent for that.

The phrase he then used as I read it is “The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] from the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad).”
Ahmadinejad was not making a threat, he was quoting a saying of Khomeini and urging that pro-Palestinian activists in Iran not give up hope– that the occupation of Jerusalem was no more a continued inevitability than had been the hegemony of the Shah’s government.

Ahmadinejad was quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini in the specific speech under discussion: what he said was that "the occupation regime over Jerusalem should vanish from the page of time." No state action is envisaged in this lament; it denotes a spiritual wish, whereas the erroneous translation – "wipe Israel off the map" – suggests a military threat. There is a huge chasm between the correct and the incorrect translations. The notion that Iran can "wipe out" U.S.-backed, nuclear-armed Israel is ludicrous.[19][20][21]

Tehran's deputy defense minister warns Jerusalem against strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, says 'any action by Zionist regime will bring about its destruction'
As speculations over a possible strike on Iran's nuclear facilities grow, the Islamic Republic is exacerbating its rhetoric.
Deputy Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi on Friday warned Israel against mounting such an attack: "Any act by the Zionist regime against Iran will bring about its destruction."
Congress approved NDAA as well does that mean its ok? Does that mean it reflects the view of American citizens or citizens of the world? Have you recently looked at congress' approval rating?
Originally posted by Xcathdra
Last time I checked Congress authorized the use of military force
Approve: 11.3%
For good reason ? LOL. How are you on this website? The American's created the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and established Sadam. They killed millions in the process of installing them, and exterminating them. There is NOTHING good that has come out of these wars and their actions, only death and destruction.

On Friday, 14 September 2007, ORB, an independent polling agency located in London, published estimates of the total war casualties in Iraq since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.[1] At over 1.2 million deaths
The second survey[2][3][4] published on 11 October 2006, estimated 654,965 excess deaths related to the war, or 2.5% of the population, through the end of June 2006.

Many are upset because Iran HAS adhered to international law, they cooperate with IAEA, and as a member of the NPT they have an international right to nuclear technology
Originally posted by Xcathdra
Whats funny is how you and a bunch of other people are bitching about international law yet refusing to use those same laws on Iran.

Tehran maintains that it has no interest in nuclear weapons, but that as a member of the NPT it has an inalienable right to peaceful nuclear energy.
Hamas/ Hezbullah are certainly responsible for war crimes in the form of small scale guerilla warfare, in response to the INVASION OF THEIR LAND AND SOVEREIGNTY ON BEHALF OF ISRAEL.
Originally posted by Xcathdra
Even better is the fact Palestinians (Hamas / Hezbullah) have been tagged in U N reports for war crimes, yet again, you and others remain quiet on that.

A nation run by religious fanatics whose stated goals are to set up a worldwide Islamic state...after they destroy the (Zionist State of ) Israel...kill all of the Jews in the world...and then destroy (the Big Satan) the United States...who are on the verge of possessing the technology necessary to produce nuclear weapons.
