Israel May Use a NUCLEAR WEAPON on Iran - Col. Macgregor
What was said
"the only way that we can respond and make any difference is to use at least a nuclear weapon, whether it's 5 kiloton or 10 kiloton, whatever it is, and against a specific target. Now, what would that target be? I don't know. I mean, they can pick cities."
Retired US Army colonel Douglas Macgregor argues that, if Israel believes it cannot achieve its aims in Iran through conventional means, it may be tempted to use a low-yield nuclear weapon against what he describes as a “specific target”. He adds that he does not know what target would be chosen and suggests cities could be at risk as military targeting “fails or doesn't turn out” to produce the desired result.
