Hey, there's a nuke in my song festival...Part 3

Over the past few years, there have been growing concerns that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. Naturally, Israel is very concerned. This concern was reflected in their 2007 Eurovision entry “Push the Button” which, reportedly, led to the Iranian government demanding that the song be disqualified. You can read a translation of the lyrics here.
