"But what if Israel bombs Iran before US and British leaders can hand Israel to the Arabs and Persians?"
Then Israel and Iran will be at war on a full scale basis, with of course the Israeli having the edge on technologies, and air and naval resources to do some real damage to Iran.
But will they go down this path. Would Israel make a first nuclear strike against Iran. Unless the US has given Israel the newest series of deep penetrator bombs, to take out all the underground facilities, I doubt Israel would risk a one shot at nuking above ground facilities and population centers in Iran.
Same reason the US cannot just nuke the boneheads in Iran. World opinion is against anyone nuking population centers.
And without permission of neighbors to fly sustained air missions to Iran, Israel is limited in how much it could really do. We at this site have gone this route, before. The linear distances involved in going around the south of the Arabian peninsula would severly limit just what Israel could do. Despite their limited air refueling capabilities.
I do not think Israel is ready for going at it alone. And you can bet the Iranians would figure out how to get a few Paki atomic bombs to smuggle into major Israeli population centers as an act of revenge.
For all we know, they may already have some nuclear devices smuggled out of Russian for this purpose.

This MSM libtard and his editors fear it, and he/they are projecting their fears to the US as a whole.

As I stated in a previous thread. I believe Iran already has a nuclear device (1 kt to 5 kt range), probably at least a handful. They are trying to develop a different class of nuclear weapon on the line of the W85/W88.

I am not sure anymore about Iran, this guy Ahmadinejad sure does like to beat his chest and claim all sorts of things. I have to wonder what his game really is, of course he to me is a puppet mouthpiece for the king moolahs that really hold the power in Iran.
To: Just mythoughts
His game is the reappearance of the hidden Mahdi. Which can happen only after the apocalypse.

$$$$. Dead clients dont pay, so you make them pay in advance.Ah but paying clients are the ones to protect... Putin has made it clear where he stands if any action is taken against Iran. So then why is this Arm-a-jab trying to provoke just such an attack?
To: Flavius
It will probably have to wait until the F-15 fighter-bombers are back online. Otherwise, very much a possibility. I don’t think we’ll let Israel go it alone this time, like we did in the 1980’s with Iraq’s reactor. Iran would try to block the straits and respond with terror attacks either way, so we might as well be involved.

Beslan taught Putin the horrible, despicable, horrific face of Islam. I suspect he's (net) on our side.

What a shame all his air defense in Iran is junk. It pains me so. Got popcorn for what Israel is probably going to do this Friday.

One wonders why the operation orders have not yet been issued? I am reasonably certain that the targets have been selected. "Israel Needs A Preemptive Nuclear Strike Against Iran"
