What Happens If Israel Strikes Iran’s Nuclear Sites?
National Security Journal ^ | 10/17/2024 | Brent M. Eastwood

Will Israeli air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities spark a larger shooting war between the two belligerent countries?

Any aerial attack by Israel against Iran would be difficult. Israel has no long-range bombers to hit the nuclear sites that are over 1,000 miles away. Jet fighters would require a significant number of bunker-busting bombs that may have limited efficacy. The Israeli jets would need to be re-fueled, and the air force has limited means to conduct these operations (except for re-fashioned 707 tankers). The Israelis would have to fly over Iraqi air space, which is anathema to Baghdad. Plus, the United States does not support Israeli strikes against Iran for fear of sparking a larger war in the region.

Iran will not be able to make a nuclear weapon.   Why would anybody be questioning that?

We sent that THAAD (is that it?) and our men to Israel as part of a deal to keep them from bombing nuclear sites and oil sites. That seemed pretty obviuso to me

And probably money too.

I hope Israel knows what they’re doing.

I’d rather see them eliminate the threat.

Do you think Iran is currently trying to develop a nuclear weapon?

It would delay Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and enrage the American left.

Hi.

May I recommend a different approach?

Israel has some very nice sub launched ordinance.

Park out in the Indian Ocean and watch the fireworks via drone.

May I suggest Bashir and Qom?

Can’t let the 12 Imma with some respect.

If you were sitting in Tehran? You'd do well to make sure your life insurance is paid up.

The assumptions they are flying from Israel are probably incorrect.

I would be careful if I was relying on intelligence telling me the jets were leaving from Israel, when they could show up hours earlier from another direction.
