>>Actually, Elam was located along the western edge of the current nation of Iran, with a small part in what is now Iraq.<<
Bushehr nuclear reactor is located in what was known as Elam. Could it be?
Israel knows full well the ramifications of attacking a nuclear reactor within Iran. For this reason, they will attack multiple sites simultaneously.
When this happens, all hell will break loose. It’s advantageous for the Israelis to cripple Iran hard and fast.
Just my take. War in the middle east will begin in earnest.
