Like any Iranian Jets would make it to Israeli airspace to bomb the extremely hardened Israeli facilities like they would know where they were.
I don't think Israel minds if Iranians bleed on them.
The mullahs "Space saver tire" headgear must be too tight!
Iran: We will send in lots of fighters and fighter-bombers to die at the hands of the JOOOOS ... and then call it victory
Iran already has the missile means to deliver a nuclear weapon to Israel. Last year it unveiled its new missile which unsupringly has a range which reaches Israel. Iran is now working on its nukes and time is running out. It is safe to say that Israel is already planning its own measures to deal with this terrorist threat. The world will probably do nothing, and Israel, yet again, will have to act. But it may not bomb Iranian reactors, if it finds that its own missile defense system is deemed able to intercept any such thing coming from Iran, or if the US or another entity sucessfully persuades Israel not to act, but that is unlikely.
With any luck, if Israel bombs those reactors, this will lead to an overthrow of the terrorist regime there by the population. If Israel were to take down the reactors, Iran will have no way to respond really but through its current policies that arm and fund terror groups murdering Israelis.
I'm not over there, but mathmatics says 5 or 6 crude nukes(snuck in or fired from iranian missiles, doesn't matter israeli intelligence would find out quickly) could cripple israel and trigger the sampson option.
The mullahs of iran are crazy...are they crazy enough to do it? I don't know. Hopefully we won't find out one way or the other.
Unlikely indeed. I wouldn't bet Tel Aviv on it and i doubt Israel will.
Iran doesn't want to play this game.
Speaking of the Samson option, Israel has German built Dolphbin class subs, armed with nuclear cruise missiles.
If Tel Aviv goes, so does every one of Iran's major population centers.
I wonder if people with such a maniacal hatred for a country even think far enough ahead to consider such a scenario.
You are right, I can't imagine the cowardly mullahs taking on the Israelis head-on. They fear and loathe Sharon especially, but there is enormous respect from the average Iranian citizen as to the capabilities of the Jewish state. My fater-in-law lives in Iran and my husband and I visited there a short while ago. There were the ubiquitous signs denouncing the "Zionist Entity" but I found the people to be in awe of the power and capablities of the Israelis. Many had fond memories of a Jewish doctor in my husband's home town that everyone went to because he was the best. Hezbollah toughs threw a Molotov cocktail at his house so he fled the country. They weren't sure if he had gone to Israel or America. My father-in-law likes Sharon because he admires his toughness and courage. Sharon also makes the mullahs pee in their dresses. I believe this Rowhani guy is all bluster and is bluffing with a pair of twos. There is no way the Iranians will take on the vaunted, even mythologically fearsome Israeli war machine. They aren't man enough. They can only terrorize and torture unarmed kids or pay psycho Palestinian terrorists to do their dirty work for them.
I wonder if they could spare a couple of missles...one for Mecca and one for Medina.
This is true but many in the Iranian gov believe that they can cripple Israel with a first strike and withstand a counter barrage. This is the scary part. If this country is allowed to develop nukes we are in big trouble.
Agreed!
Nukes would never be used. It would be cheaper to walk into a crowded Tel Aviv street after the sabbath ends and drop a vial of ebola or other viral compound on the ground.
After the first report of an outbreak, the UN would insist Israel close its borders and not let any flights or shipping leave the country. The wall Israel has built would enable the Palestinians to be isolated from the virus.
As the virus spreads, the Arab world will go to the UN and insist Israel is responsible for creating a killer virus and that God is punishing them for it. European leaders and others would be slow to send in supplies and medical teams with only the US responding quickly.
Within a week, Israel would be in panic mode. The hospitals would be overflowing, the infrastructure unable to sustain the casualties. It would be during this time that Syria, Iran, Lebanon and Egypt launch a massive attack.
How is that for a scenario?

A load of bollocks
