“the odds are that Israel will launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran’s nuclear sites.”

What few realize is those sites are buried deep and hardened.
Unless Israel has late-model deep penetrator weapons (unlikely methinks), the only way to take those sites out is direct nuclear ground strikes.
When that happens, everyone will go all-in with everything they’ve got.

We’re not just talking WWIII, but the nuclear version thereof.

FAE or a B61 Mod 11 would be a great pre-strike on said hardened targets...... then cluster bomb the bejesus out of the remaining soft targets etc etc ...

Just my opinion.....:o)

Yep if Israel is forced to act they will likely have to use strategic nukes. Not a good scenario.

My plan is to just execute an EMP on Iran and then give them a list criteria they must meet to get the lights back on. Every country in the Mideast would thank us. The only downside to my plan is we would have to placate Russia and probably China. Somehow we would have to make them believe its in their interest also.

Rather than trying to destroy the many nuclear sites that are scattered throughout Iran (some of which the Mossad may not even know about & are buried deep w/in the mountains), why can't Israel eliminate its Islamic government in Tehran? Wouldn't the new government that took the place of the Mullahs be less of a threat to both Israel & the US?

Armageddon, just like the man said.
