The only thing that one can have a high degree of confidence in is that Iran's regime cannot be expected to behave rationally vis a vis the Jewish State. The MAD doctrine that regulated relations between the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War is inapplicable to the situation between Israel and Iran.
