If the United States launches an attack on Iran, the Islamic republic will retaliate with a military strike on Israel's main nuclear facility.
Dr. Abasi, an advisor to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, said Tehran would respond to an American attack with strikes on the Dimona nuclear reactor and other strategic Israeli sites such as the port city of Haifa and the Zakhariya area.
Haifa is also home to a large concentration of chemical factories and oil refineries.
Zakhariya, located in the Jerusalem hills is - according to foreign reports - home to Israel's Jericho missile base. Both Israeli and international media have published commercial satellite images of the Zakhariya and Dimona sites.

Uh...if the U.S. strikes Iran, there won't be anything to hit Israel with except maybe catapulting camel feces.

Lets see all they can strike israel with is their ballistic missile which isnt a precision weapon. Their air force will be raped by the US and Israeli planes as soon as they leave Iran.

This needs to be done soon.
We are wasting time.

I have a feeling he really means they'll use suicide bombers.

If Iran attacks Israel, what do they think Israel is going to do to them?

Uh...if the U.S. strikes Iran, there won't be anything to hit Israel with except maybe catapulting camel feces. I think we'd first take out their Air Force, Navy, Silkworm batteries, and anything else that might possibly be used to interdict the world's flow of oil or attack Iran's neighbors. This may take a couple weeks, until we immobilize anything dangerous in Iran that can move.
Then we'll spend a month or two bunker-busting their nuke sites at our leisure.

I think all of Iran would be committing if they tried Israel. "Invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" - sounds better all the time.

A few of those Daisy cutters should about do it.

Iran could easily launch strikes against Israel even if the US striked (although the Iranian strikes wouldn't be as big or as effective as they would hope).
The biggest problem for Iran would be that Israel would make Iran past tense...

My guess is that there would be a coup during this time period...and the mullahs will seek asylum in France or Syria.

LOL, yeah, if your planes can even make it off the ground for lack of spare parts, they'll be blown out of the sky before they even get within 500 miles of Israel. And Iranian missiles? LMAO.

How insensitive. They should be given a choice of becoming Christians or Jews. Co-opt the term "pro-choice" for this option and watch the moonbats explode.

Storm warning.
Clouds gathering.
This will not simmer down peacefully.
The Mullahs are on the war path.
