I don't believe it is in Israel's best interests to be lobbing nukes at Iran, unless Israel is responding to an Iranian nuclear attack. Do I believe in a preemptive conventional strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, and their war making capacity if the current nuclear talks break down?
I do, and the sooner the better. However, I don't want Israel to do it, I want the United States of America to do it. I want the American Air Force to drop and fire, bunker-busting laser guided missles that penetrate deep in the ground such as the AGM-142s. These 3 thousand pound television guided missles could do the job. If they don't than we have to consider other options.

These underground bunkers that are in Iran are fortified against bunker buster bombs. A 1 to 10 kiloton surface burst will produce the necessary overpressure to completely destroy these bunkers.

Why do you need three bunker busters carried by plane to destroy a underground target and you can fire one nuclear tipped missile to completely destroy underground target?

Why have the United States do it? Right now we have our hands full. Israel has been at its best when they are alone, because they have fought their wars alone.The IDF is the best military organization in the world.

By waiting and then responding - means Israel is gone.

Israel will not let this happen.
