Commenter Olah Chadasha points out why Iran's Arabic neighbors would be menaced in the event that President Ahmadinejad used nuclear weapons against Israel:
Even if [President Ahmadinejad's government] didn’t believe that Israel would strike back, or even if they decided to utilize a small tactical nuclear strike, they fully understand that the fall-out on the Arab world would be disastrous. For example, what about the cross winds and weather patterns on the day they decide to strike? It could very well happen that they don’t account for a glitch in their weather analysis and the nuclear fall-out heads back right in their direction. Or, they could be off by a mile or two, and the bomb could land or detonate in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or any of the other countless Arab neighbors that reside alongside Israel.
Ahmadinejad's view of current times as providing an opportunity for an apocalyptic confrontation between Islam and the west -- which Ahmadinejad may hope to bring about -- indicates he might not hesitate to risk nuking an Arabic nation.
