I suspect that they will get tacit permission and the howells of Iran will be hopefully covered up by the mourning of some of their more rabid politicians being killed in the raid. Just how good is our intelligence and just how many Iranians have turned. Thats the real question. If our intelligence services are really as incompetent as they appear, we're in for a bumpy ride anyway.

Don't forget our military Intel don't take steps to put our guys in harms way unless they are certain of success. We have our Storming Normans, but they go into hollywood mode once G2 gives the go ahead. Surely Mossad would not deceive the IAF nor the USAF if things where really going down. But I still think these public announcements are misinformation. If the Israelis where planning such a mission no one in the world would have a clue until after the fact. I hope you don't equate the CIA, NSA etc. to our Army,Navy/Marine, Airforce Intel groups. But are we not digressing a bit. The issue is if Israel is really planning an attacked on various nuclear and support facilities in Iran. Like I say I am negative on the accuracy of these articles, but not on the need to lay waste to the Iranian entities short of killing their peoples in nuclear strikes targeting civilian populations. The question remains. How does one take these goons out. Same goes for Syria. Anyone with a little political savy understands we just can't be mashing these countries up without in essense undoing the good this administration is attempting to accomplish in Iraq.
IMHO, Iraq was a very special case, ripe for so many good reasons, with the local geography and proximity to the Persian gulf to pull off what we did. It will not be the same in Iran and Syria. With Iran short of total multi divisions making landings and air drops from the Persian gulf then tanking up to Theran with all that goes with this type ground air warfare, I see little chance of taking these regieme out unless it is done by counter revolution.
