Iran is the same size as Europe... a huge country. Their nuclear industry is dug in all over the country. It is a country that in a lot of places looks like endless desert salt flats, bordered by Alp-sized mountains around some of the edges. You could hide Pittsburgh. Nobody is going to take out everything exclusively by air in one raid. Besides, the Iranians have a fairly sophisticated air defense system, and aerial refueling inside their airspace is out.

Anyone who thinks their efforts to enrich weapons grade materials slowed during these talks is nuts. Nukes? Sure about 10 would be required. Maybe two or three times. Nobody wants that. Targets? We cannot possibly hit them all. Remember the SCUD hunts in Iraq? In the meantime, they can hit at Israel.

Perhaps it would be safer to tak'em out of the oil business. The Russkis would LOVE that. That is something we can do in a day. Put a 10-ton JDAM down the Holy Well of Qum, that we can do in a day. Take out their refineries. That we can do in a day because they have very few! But Israel cannot accomplish any of these missions alone.

That is what all of this is about.

A lot of people don’t know Iran is in a historic drought. They’ve cut back on a lot of agriculture since they never bothered adapting irrigation technology.
