On February 18, 2010, the Iranian web site Asr-e Iran stated that Iran's possession of nuclear weapons would threaten Israel's existence and lead to the elimination of Israel. The web site explained that Israel's sole reason for existence is the illusion that it can provide absolute security for the Jewish people. The web site further states that once Iran possesses nuclear weapons and shifts the balance of power in the Middle East, this will be end of Israel.
The Iranian web site states that Israel knows that even if Iran obtains nuclear weapons, it will never use them except in self-defense (i.e., in the event of a non-conventional or nuclear attack on Iran). Rather, Iran's possession of such weapons will sow in Israel a sense of "insecurity". This sense alone will be enough to shatter the "glass house" of an Israeli state in the Middle East.
Asr-e Iran
writes in this article the following statements:
"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."
I gather two things from this Iranian web site. First, the intention all along of the Iranian nuclear program was the construction of nuclear weapons and the destruction of Israel. The lie put forth by the Iranian government that the nuclear program was to develop nuclear power for electric generation was just that, a lie.
Second, Iran must have a death wish. Any nuclear strike on Israel will mean the complete Israeli destruction of Iran. And I do mean any nuclear strike, including a terrorist smuggled nuclear bomb into Tel Aviv. Israel knows that this web site is no more than adjunct of the Iranian government. The Iranian government approves anything placed on this web site. (Also, as a corollary, Jerusalem and the surrounding vicinity now become the safest place in Israel. Islamic fundamentalists would also attack Iran if Jerusalem were attacked with a nuclear weapon.)
Again, the plot thickens. (Also here is an address to this Iranian web site's article: http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/3989.htm.)
