I think Israel can handle Iran and Syria pretty easily simultaneously so it's not the US Iran should be concerned about at this time.

How can Israel "handle" Iran "pretty easily"?

If you are talking conventionally, explain how Israel, logistically, would accomplish this.

What type of war could you envision between Iran and Israel?

If you are talking a missile war, do you know the status of the ABM system Israel has, versus the quantity, range, etc. of Iran's missiles?

I would like to hear what you mean, because I do not know how Israel could handle Iran "easily". Oh, I suppose a surprise sub-launched cruise missile attack with nuclear-tipped SLCMs would do the trick. Short of that. I would like to hear how Israel could handle Iran "easily". What would they do (conventionally)--fight through Iraq to reach Iran? Those would be pretty long supply lines through hostile Iraqi territory. What if Syria (or even Egypt) were to attack Israel while Israel is stretched out trying to inflict a hurt on Iran?

What about all the Russians in Iran? Do Russians man the Russian built SAMs?

I'm not sure you thought this through.

Israel can not handle Iran. It can dispose of Syrian leadership but can do nothing to significantly harm Iran.

It will be destroyed long before it can win.
