Hate to be an Israeli soldier caught by Iran after an Israeli attack on Irans nuke facilities.

Use air power and bomb the crap out of Iran.

The most important issue by such an action is the matter of the right timing.

I don’t think these commandos have any illusions about their fate at the hands of the Iranians. They will not allow themselves to be taken prisoner, if they can help it.

I always thought that a ground commando raid would have to complement an air campaign if only because the IDF thinks “outside the box”. There are also advantages to have ground troops “lasing the target” for precision airstrikes.

And hey, if the Israelis DON’T do it, they have given the Iranians something to think about. They are already paranoid about anti-regime forces operating in the hinterlands. Imagine what Tehran is thinking right now?
