israel has the nuke and fears iran having it for what reason?
I believe Iran is financing their own proxy army on Israel's borders, namely Hezbollah, whose charter states its one aim is the destruction of Israel. I also believe the Iranian President, on more than one occasion, has called for the destruction of Israel.

possibly because israel will no longer be able to inflict its military against the arab interests without having to consider in-kind retaliation from its foe
The poor arab states which surround Israel have invaded it in two wars in the last 60 years, some of which have never declared a ceasefire, while others refuse to even acknowledge Israel's existence. I think such a state of affairs would make me apprehensive too.

is israel testing ICBMs because it is planning a mission to mars or does it have a desire to project its nuclear devices across the sands of the middle east? [hint: mars is safe]
I have no issue with Israel having ICBM's. They've never used them, nor have they threatened to use them, against anyone on earth or mars. However, one thing is certain, Iran has been increasingly bellicose against the state of Israel, even though Israel has done nothing, nor said anything, to harm that country's interests.
