Where Iran has been most successful is the area in which it threatens Israel more and more each day, Iranian strategies of which have proven hugely problematic for Israel. Israel hadn't, hasn't developed any real effective military option in dealing with Hezbollah's missile attacks during the recent war against Lebanon. Another aspect of the way Iran has pigeon-holed Israel is in the quality of fierce very-well fighting men, the implementation of highly successful tactics in arm-to arm combat had inflicted such huge losses on the Israel infantry, a one day-loss of over 200 men had Israel call off the land campaign they called off their land campaign. Israel is very much aware of Iran's ability to inflict terrible damage and knows they're not to be trifled with. Israel, their intelligence agencies, Mossad, Shin Beth, are known to get their man, to always take action against attack on Israel to ensure it never happens again. But in the aftermath of the Iranian bombing of Israel's facilities in Argentina, no response from Israel, Mossad was made and that's because Iran is not one to be trifled with.
And so now imagine the scenario if, when Israel does attack Iran. The repercussions of an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, even if they prove to be 100% effective in destroying them all,it will no doubt initiate an chain of events on a global scale unprecedented in history.
Taking the myriad of consequences that such an attack would wreak out of the discussion, merely contemplating one single aspect of just such an attack, the price of oil, you've got enough doomsday scenarios to keep you quivering under your bed for quite some time.
Once the attack on Iran begins, Nasrallah, Iranian backed Hezbollah leader I assure you will not be demonstrating any restraint on launching his stockpile of 15,000+ rockets he says is n his possession.
The reality of what will occur after just such an attack are probably worse than we could contemplate.
