Why isn't Iran conducting a Holocaust of Jews right now? There are plenty in their country they could kill.
Wikipedia puts the number of Jews in Iran at 25,000 people today who have been defamed by the ruling Revolutionary Islamic Mullahs.
Before 1948 and the creation of the state of Israel there were 100,000 to 150,000 Persian Jews living in Iran with the majority leaving Iran after the fall of the Shah.
These stats are from Wikipedia under Persian Jews look it up...oh Wikipedia must be lying or distorting the facts
It's been widely reported that Israel has approximately 400 nuclear warheads, with the ability to deliver them by Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, aircraft and submarines. And, in addition to it's nuclear arsenal, Israel has the 3rd or 4th strongest Air Force in the world, with over 1,600 fighter, bomber and attack aircraft.
Iran a threat to Israel? I don't think so.
I guess they leasrned it from the threat masters, the USA.
At various times during my life countries that the USA clained threated them include, Vietnam, Various Central American countries, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Granada, the USSR, China, Chile, Pakistan, Libya, Afganistan and others.

If they want another Holocaust, why aren't they killing the 25,000 Jews in Iran RIGHT NOW???
One should remember Israel is about the size of New Jersey and you should also know Israel is at least half desert. So it is actually about the size of the state of Delaware. As few as half a dozen nuclear weapons could kill the state of Israel. Israel might have hundreds of the most technically advanced nuclear weapons and the latest planes and missiles to send them to targets thousands of miles away but it would all be to no avail. For they would have no power to retirn a dead nation to life or return a radioactive wasteland to useful occupancy.

If your using wikipedia as your source your not trying very hard. I could go change that number to 10 million right now if I wanted to and see how long it takes somebody to notice.
iran is a threat to the region not just israel. being regional dictator is a long time iran ambition.
the nukes are not to keep israel away they are to keep us away.
there is a good chance of a dirty bomb being used and soon on israel.
it would not provoke a nuke missile attack from us. the intent would be to empty jerusalem

Israel has had the bomb for sometime now but are not threatening their neighbors with total annihilation as Iran has done that is the difference. Israel is the only free democratic state in the Mideast among the dictatorial Arab States and Irans ruling Mullahs bent on her destruction.
Global nuclear weapons inventories, 1945 (http://www.scribd.com/doc/73688779/Global-nuclear-weapons-inventories-1945%E2%80%932010 - broken link)
I also found some other articles that claim it was stated that Israel had a certain number of nukes by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency in a report called "The Decades Ahead" from July 1999 on pg. 38. I couldn't find that information because I could only find a short text versions of the report. I can't find the full version and I am giving up.
The State of Israel will not confirm that it has nuclear weapons and has never acknoledged having tested devices that it officially does not have! So any estimate of Israeli nuclear arsenals is a matter of either intelligence estimate, espionage or guesswork.. The best estimates say Israel had a working atomic bomb as early as 1968 or 1969. By the mid 1970s they had a working thermonuclear bomb and so called radiation enhanced tactical weapons. Some belive Israel gave South Africa several atomic bombs in the 1970s in exchange for enriched Uranium and in the late 1970s there was a mysterious explosion in the South Atlantic that our satellites identified as a possible nuclear event. By the time we got a ship in the area any radioactivty had been dissipated. We know about the South African weapons because Nelson Mandela got rid of them and they were given to the USA for proper disposal. If they were Israeli they were well engineered and the handiwork of an advanced nuclear power.
Iran can learn a lot from Israels keeping its nuclear arsenal under the deepest cover of secrracy. Like Israel , Iran will never acknowledge that it officially has nuclear weapons and like Israel may never test a nuclear weapon. So do you want to play a game of [poker with these guys. A Smith and Weson beats any possible hand.
Probably the fact they are surounded by nations that do not recognize their right to exist.
