They may have the guts... but not the firepower or logistical support to fully succeed in conventional airstrikes. Essentially, they will just kick the beehive and hope Iran goes mental... by lashing out at America in Iraq and unleashing their trained monkeys in Lebanon and Gaza.
No matter who starts it, it's a job that must be attended to... and finished.
Are you saying that Israel HOPES Iran would take it out on America?
Correct.
Americans will have to pay the price for Israel’s attack on Iran whether Israel fails or succeeds. Our toxic relationship means that both countries are held reponsible for the deeds of the other one.
