no attack could succeed at taking down the industrial base
without US heavy strategic assets. even a successful attack
would result in chaos in the gold and oil markets.

best option is what mr newt suggested combined with asymmetric activities.

but best it happen soon.

It has to be done from the inside. actually there is no other way. The facilities are miles underground beneath mountains of rock. You can’t take them out without nukes and even then how would you know what you took out without sending in teams to see what remains? Plus Iran would just restart the program later.

An EMP strike over several of Iran’s nuke production sites, Teheran and some key military bases would pretty much destroy both their nuke program and the regime at the same time. Even using nukes to do this, not one window would be broken, but the means exists to do it without nukes. It is the ultimate in assymetrical warfare, and is just far enough outside the box for it to be considered a realistic choice (especially given the do-or-die stakes for Israel).
