Nothing ....followed by the sound of crickets. No "wiping Israel off the map", no nothing.
Why?..because Amerika has nukes, Israel has nukes, the UK has nukes, France has nukes, you get the idea...
Nukes are first and foremost a good psychological deterrent. Their use comes with dire consequences and everyone knows it. Maybe Israel could take the diplomatic lead here and turn their nukes over to the UN??
This is just another over-hyped propaganda sales routine like the Iraq war was, and you'll fall for it like a sucker because you think its America's role to bomb other people into the stone age because Iran doesn't share their western ideologies. Empty rhetoric is empty rhetoric.

The problem isn't Iran having nukes per se, it's who gets the nukes after Iran has them. Iran has shown in the past that they will support militant organizations that are not directly tied to a recognized political state. This throws the psychological deterrent angle out the window. When you throw religious fundamentalism into the picture, the rules change drastically.
Iran having a nuke is only a little scary, but Hamas having one would be a disaster waiting to happen.
