Houdini,
Iran, for as crazy as they are, would not be stupid enough to provide Hamas a nuke or try to fire a nuke off themselves because they are probably well aware that the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction comes into play.
Hamas sets off a nuke, the Palestinians get to all die nice and slowly from fallout and radiation poisoning. Iran fires a nuke, they lose all their cities in return.
For all the martyr chest thumping, neither group is that suicidal because at the end of the day their elites are concerned with their own self-preservation. They don’t send their own kids to go suicide bomb.
My biggest fear with Iran’s nuclear program isn’t Iran launching a nuke, but the Arabs following suit and starting up a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. That most certainly will mean nuclear material ending up in the hands of someone who IS suicidal and willing to use it.
