Two Israeli missile class warships have sailed through the Suez Canal ten days after a submarine capable of launching a nuclear missile strike, in preparation for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The deployment into the Red Sea, confirmed by Israeli officials, was a clear signal that Israel was able to put its strike force within range of Iran at short notice. It came before long-range exercises by the Israeli air force in America later this month and the test of a missile defence shield at a US missile range in the Pacific Ocean.

Point taken.
I guess the Saudis and Egyptians aren’t THAT stupid.
The other is lead by a religious fanatic who has threatened to blow another country off the map, has supported terrorism, attacked US facilities and soldiers in the region, and who thinks it is his responsibility to facilitate the end of the world.
Maybe I can get my oil rig job back.GO ISRAEL!!!!!!!
Welcome to Free Republic.
Well said.
“Can you explain why Israel can have nukes and Iran can’t?”
When you compare the two nations who do you think is more likely to just go bat sh@t crazy in the middle of the night and begin flinging nukes all over the place, or just wake up one morning and say to the world they now control the oil flow into and out of the mideast and anyone who tries to stop them will get nuked?
There are several dates in August it must be done by.
Fewer countries with nukes: Good
Let's just give ever country 2 nuclear tipped missiles because they all the right to nukes. Soveriegn and all that.
Could you elaborate?
Go Israel. Be safe.
Probably because Israel isn't being ruled by a madman and jihadist, death loving cult that is more than willing to destroy everyone they disagree with, as they've stated before.
Welcome to FR, noob. You'll find that supporting Iran and opposing Israel don't go over very well here. It's a conservative site, you know.
Did Israel’s leadership threaten to wipe Iran off the map? Did that same Israeli leadership predict that soon Iran would no longer exist? Has the Israeli leadership made similar threats against Iran for the past several years? Did the Israeli leadership similarly threaten any nation that assists Iran? Did Israel stage anti-Iran rallies among its populace?
The list goes on, but you get the point.
I’ll have to go find those dates...be back...
When it comes down to it, both Egypt and Saudi Arabia would prefer to not have a nuclear Iran.
Troll.
Would you give a rifle to a 2 year old?
“Can you explain why Israel can have nukes and Iran can’t?”
Hopefully, it will be because someone will stop Iran.
As for China vs Iran two wrongs don’t make a right. If I have to pick the country most likely to nuke America in an all out war, it’s China. So a damn shame they have the bomb.
