It appears that many posts about this subject are borne out of ignorance about the hierarchy of Iran's national government. Its military is in the hands of the ruling mullahs, not its president.

I've posted elsewhere that Israel's strategic capability to carry out an attack is significantly limited and even more so to carry it out successfully.

Since prevailing winds over Iran are west to east, several countries would be subject to the radioactive fallout that any attack could engender. However, prevailing winds do not always prevail; thus, Iraq and points west could be swept with radioactivity.
