I don't see how Israel can get away with nuking Iran. If Israel nuked Iran and I was Russia, I'd immediately nuke a few targets in Ukraine to advance my troops just to establish that if Israel is allowed to use nukes then so am I. If Israel uses nukes and there's no response from Pakistan, China or Russia then all those countries effectively have established the West can use nukes as they please and they can't. Russia is highly sensitive to this sort of precedent setting in war so I doubt they'd let it slide. Europe would freakout and WW3 would probably start.
Everyone is chickenshit. Russia has taken 4 years to gain 100km. China won't take a tiny island even while no one can stop them. Europe can't do shit. The UK can barely put together 100 fighting men. India would not care. Africa would not care. Even right now when they have every reason and the means, Iran refuses to hit our carriers.
It would be us. Would we turn on Israel if they used their nukes? Would the bombers turn around and drop their payloads on Tel Aviv? Would we realize who the real enemy is? Hell, Israel probably wouldn't take that chance. They'd hit our carriers too.
If Israel nuked Iran without the USA's blessing, I imagine all the politicians would denounce it and just pull back support for Israel as their form of "retaliation" to punish Israel for the move... and that has probably already been discussed, thus if Israel was going to nuke Iran, they'd make sure that would 100% secure their victory first.
