Elphaba And MoonDog correctly point out that Israel won't allow Iran to go nuclear. Before the current Iranian leadership came into power, I held out hope that there might be a diplomatic solution, but with Iran now bluntly saying that Israel needs to get out, it is hardly surprising that the timeline for a pre-emptive strike has been moved up to a few months (I had heard that Israel previously had a one year timeline). The United Nations won't move quickly or decisively enough to be a factor, whether or not there is a veto issue. Israel will hit Iran...the interesting and scary part is trying to figure out the consequenses of that.
