“Israel could very effectively mount an attack on Iran via Indian territory, avoiding the need to secure U.S. permission to cross Iraq.”

I just looked at a map.

To pull that off, the flight would be (assuming you left from Nepal) over Pakistan, Afganistan, and most of the length of Iran.

It’s like 3 times farther than “going around.”

I don't think so...here is the path I came up with. The split at the end would depend on whether it is more dangerous to fly around Dubai or over the mountains in Iran. what makes the strike easier is that the reactor is on a peninsula.
