Nuclear Confrontation. If I'm right and Iran now possesses nuclear weapons, the war in the Middle East is about to get a lot bloodier. Hezbollah with Iranian forces will conduct a war of attrition against Israel's northern border. And if Israel believes it's in a war for its survival, it may use its nuclear bombs to protect itself. This is a war to the death. America will not sacrifice American lives especially if another truth is revealed: The Middle East is running out of its reserves of crude oil and will prompt a financial crisis leaving America without a reason to help.
