Assuming this reported statement is correct, my best guess is that Hizbollah is going to fire some big, long-range missiles at Dimona and try to damage Israel's nuclear weapons labs. Any missiles fired at Dimona will probably be shot down by the Arrow anti-missile system, and any that reach Dimona probably won't do significant damage to Israel's hardened and buried facilities. I strongly doubt that Iran has working nuclear weapons themselves, but you might see Iran bluff and make a statement that they do as NK has already done. Iran is testing our will and our mental strength and will be looking at our response to this bluff. The Western public needs to respond bravely and not start suggesting concessions to Iran so that "they don't nuke Europe or Israel or New York City via ship."

We're starting to reach the end game here in this confrontation with Iran where all kinds of psychological warfare are likely to be used against the West. Thank God the brave Israeli nation is right there in the region and already heavily armed with conventional and nuclear weapons.

Prior behaviors to consider:

Iran's Royal Presentation

Consistant with this prior behavior:


"Dancing with Uranium"

I don't know, they have to know that all of Israel's weapons are not in one place, that is just were the fissionable material was processed. I don't have any inside knowledge, but I would bet that Israel's weapons are well dispersed: land, sea and air. The Iranians would have to assume this as well.

And what about the Great Satan? Striking the Little Satan does not diminish the Great Satan's capabilities.

I believe it was Syria that said they could take out Israel's nuclear facilities. What in the Syrian arsenal could penetrate that? I know they have a variety of Shahab's don't they?
