Anyone wondering why Israel is not shooting down these short range POS? It is probably because they are ready for Iran just in case they decide to launch at Israel.
First things first though. NK has to get their missiles to Iran and I would not be suprised if Israel already knows this.
Next, Iran will have to launch over Iraq and Jordan to hit Israel. I am willing to bet the US has anti missile batteries somewhere in Iraq. I am also willing to bet there there is detection capabilities in Iraq that will alert Israel immediately if there is an Iranian launch.
Finally, Israel can launch from subs and from the air. Iran, if they are going to fly over will never make it because of fuel and American aircraft. Israel can fly over and be refueled by American aircraft.
The easiest thing for Israel to do is go to the floor of the UN and declare that if Iran does not pull Hebollah out from Lebanon in 24 hours and does not return the Israel soldiers in 24 hours, Iran will cease to be an oil producing country. And then blame Europe for siding with Iran.
I believe we get our oil from the Saudis anyway.
We do, but Iran produces an awful lot of oil. If they're taken out their customers will go to Saudi as well as other places. The other countries would have to then limit what they sell to us.
Prices would rise out of control.
Whether that is acceptable is another question.
