I’m surprised obummer would go for this. sounds like a bunch of that stuff could be used to take out Iran’s facilities, which would be a beautiful thing.

Here’s a good question.
Does Israel have aircraft which can fire the Hellfire?
I know they have C130 to drop BLU-113 but its kind of a big target on a non secure battlefield.
