With Russian S-300 AA System on the Way to Iran, Will Israel Strike NOW- While They Still Can?

Even if the Senate gets a clue and does shut-down Obama's bizarre
non-agreement with Iran, cascading collateral damage has already begun: Gulf states are looking to get their own atomic weaponry,
US prestige and credibility has suffered yet another heavy blow (Obama/Kerry don't even know how to surrender), and now the Russians are sending their advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to Tehran...

Putin signed something that cleared the way for the (bartered for crude oil) missiles yesterday- a system that experts say could leave Iran 'untouchable'... the only way to get by that would be a large stealth fleet like the US possesses- and Israel does not,  not before the F-35s arrive in late 2016/early 2017 (and they can't carry the MAP bunker-buster).

Don't forget, the deal Obama claims to have with the Mullahs is based on detection of a weapons-building program and US resolve/capability to go and bomb them then... doesn't the S-300 make that sound preposterous?

The White House and Killary once proudly trumpeted how they talked the Kremlin out of sending S-300s to the Iranians in 2010... I guess Obama didn't have the deal he thought he did there, either.

But it doesn't seem so clever of Putin to let his intentions be known so soon, when the US Congress can still possibly put the kibosh Obama's reckless race for a 'legacy'- maybe the Russians are just hard-up for money (the deal is worth a reported $800M)

Earlier rumors that Obama threatened to shoot-down any Israeli jets flying over Iraq on the way to bombing him and Val's pals in Tehran may well be true- but the Saudis would quietly open their airspace to Israel, apparently.

Up until this point, I thought the Mossad would patiently wait for the right moment to strike -they've saturated Iran with spies- but if the S-300 leaves a Russian port, seems like that moment has arrived.

Israel can not afford to care what the Russians -or even now the American president- think...  if they don't act (conventionally) now, their only remaining option will be nuclear first-strike (doesn't sound so appealing, does it).

The US has all but abandoned Israel to her fate... the walls are closing in... and with world anti-Semitism at a post-1945 high, what have they got to lose in bombing Iran now, anyway... it's not like it would hurt their image in the Arab world, the Saudis, Egyptians, and Jordanians would actually nod approvingly in quiet agreement (perhaps they could even thank Israel by exterminating ISIS).

With that done -and the Iranian regime likely teetering- it would be time to whittle-down Hamas and Hezbollah and get rid of them for good... then Israel can sit down and talk peace with whoever is truly interested (I'll bet they can do business with El-Sisi).

A very narrow window.

[Reaganite Republican]

Yeah, like shipping time Crimea-to-Tehran, what is that... a day?

[Reaganite Republican]

***ping***

Well, with typical Russian inefficiency, it will take a week at least to load the containers, and a month or so the get the paper work in order. So, Israel has about five weeks to act.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

In my experience, it always takes longer for things to develop than one would expect.

It is obvious that Israel will have to make a first strike, and still more painfully obvious that it will be nuclear.

My opinion, based on watching this develop for decades, is that it happens in September.

three months ... unless the Russians have already trained the Iranians on simulators ...

[Star Traveler]

The nuclear cat is out of the bag. They are all going to get nuclear weapons in that region!

IMHO, the ‘strike’ idea was psyops, the Dolphins are insurance and they have something else cooking for which the S300s are of no consequence.

[Reaganite Republican]

Heh- you are probably right

[Reaganite Republican]

I think they have 60 cruise missiles they can fire from the Dolphins- can be tipped nuke or conventional

And underground silos with tracks that rotate the Jericho IIIs around- those are all just nuclear, I reckon

The time is absolutely right because the Arab Coalition has now galvanized against Iran’s influence in the region. What’s going on in Yemen plays a big role here.

The Saudis, Egypt, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, and to an extent Turkey and Pakistan will sit back and allow Israel to attack. No, they will help them. The US cannot help even if it wanted to, because Bibi does not trust Barack Obama, and so no coordination with the US is possible. In attempting to isolate Israel, Obama has succeeded only in the isolation of Iran.

The worry of course, is what form the Iranian counter attack will take. With the entire Sunni Arab world now united against them, Iran would be wise to show some restraint.

The Arab Coalition needs Israel now, anyone notice how the Palestinian issue has gone to the back of the bus?

[Husker24]

The s300 didn’t do Syria any good.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Israelis are not coming over in B-29s...

We may be watching the beginning of the end of civilization. Nice job Barry.

[tanknetter]

I was going to say the same thing.

Israel did something that took down Syrias AD network, including S300s, when they wiped that secret nuke facility off the map.

The last I heard about it (couple years back) people were still trying to figure out how Israel did that.

[Reaganite Republican]

Yes, and Israel and the Arab coalition need to deal with ISIS as well, most pressingly in the Sinai

[Reaganite Republican]

I understand

[Reaganite Republican]

Syria doesn’t have the most effective, new version of the S-300, and nobody knows what version the Iranians are intended to receive

[Eagles6]

I thought that’s what they had.
