We knew you had the bomb for over a decade before you've tested them and the thing was we knew the Chinese held an extremely tight leash on you ... or so we've thought until the AQ Khan fiasco. Whatever the case, Pakistani irrationality was never demonstrated before or after the tests. Hell, you've never even admitted to having the bomb until your hand was forced.
This is NOT the case with Iran.

Give me a break. I don't believe the incident though I do believe the PakAF was scrambled but even if true, a single strike package of a maximum of 16 planes is not an example of the capability of leveling Iran conventionally.

And how many of those dead sure people were wearing uniforms?

There is NO similarity. Do your freaking research before spouting this nonsense. India had the bomb since 1974. Pakistan estimated in the mid-80s. Both sides were checked by the superpowers and by China.
