The security cabinet held a special meeting Tuesday to consider the implications of the new nuclear accord with Iran, the Syrian war, Hizballah and other current threats to national security. The session was unusually long and is expected to be carried over to Wednesday. IDF and intelligence chiefs gave the ministers special briefings.
The final decision to go to war with Iran could be being made right now!
Does the Jericho III have the range to hit Teheran?
If not then we should give them the technology. MAD worked for us during the Cold War.
Yup, and Israel can launch pretty heavy satellites to orbit so that means they could drop a nuke on pretty much any point of the globe.
Assuming that the Israelis and Saudis collaborate on this (IOW, use of Saudi airfields for the in-air refueling tankers at least, use of Saudi airspace), Saudi Arabia will have to find a pretext for a quiet crackdown in the Shiite areas of the Kingdom, because that’s also the main oilpatch. An attack on Iran will trigger a sleeper cell uprising in Saudi Arabia if they participate in the raid.
Israel’s best option is a multiple sortie strike from several directions, to ensure termination of the Iranian nuclear weapons program. I hope they happen to simultaneously terminate the Russian advisors helping the mullahcracy build the Bomb.
Yes. They could also change the warhead to a 1 ton solid depleted uranium or tungsten projectile to crack buried wmd sites.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
