However, from a military perspective, there is simply no weapon more powerful than a nuclear bomb for the projection of power. Iran has delivery systems in place to project its power on all the regions the United States and Israel are worried about. US cities are not at risk, but all of the Middle East, including Israel, is.

Thanks, I tend to ignore that Israel is a strategic and fiscal investment and Iran's real threat is to the region not the US, your absolutely right - that is the real risk. Interesting... in the 40's Israel was strategically important because of the proximity to the USSR, now its because of the proximity to other Middle East countries, its too great a risk to loose Israel.
