No because these strikes will end with the destruction of the Iranian government as well. You kill a snake by cutting off it's head. We wont risk this mission to blow up some buildings without taking out the folks that caused them to be built. The Iranian people are looking to be liberated. This event will be a catalyst for a revolution.

Sadly, I don't think so. An attack by the Jewish state on Iran will only serve to unify that country and solidify the positions of the ruling Islamo-fruitcakes while marginalizing pro-Western sentiments. If an attack would have had the postive outcomes you suggest, we probably would have done it already.

I would hope that Israel, or the US, had operatives within the country that could sabotage the design/construction process of these facilities and avoid the large scale military strike, but that may be wishing for too much, given the tight Iranian control over their people. Same thing applies to North Korea.

It might convert Iran from 55,000,000 pro-western and 5,000,000 Arabists to 60,000,000 Arabists overnight. Of course, many (if not most) in the Middle East (rightly or wrongly) see Israel as the 51st state of the US.

How will the Commonwealth of Independent States take to having their technicians attacked?
