That's the thing. How much reaction time would there be between launch and detection? Judging by how far apart the countries are, minimal. Tbh though I very much doubt that Iran will develop nuclear weapons - the Israelis will see to that,
As for not daring to launch because they might destroy each other; well that work when both sides are rational about it - but when you throw religion into the mix, then how far away is the suicide bomber from a national leader deciding to sacrifice his country and his people for his God?
