There are 100,000 missiles pointed @ Israel..that is their issue. Once they hit Iran...those missiles go. That is the problem..no missiles, Israel would have already hit the nuke site.

Iran has built much of its nuclear infrastructure deep underground and dispersed it throughout the country. Air strikes on a few installations would not disarm Iran for long. What is Israel going to do, invade?

Are you seriously suggesting that Iran has 100,000 medium-range ballistic missiles? I highly doubt that. At best, they have a few hundred, maybe up to a thousand or so (but that’s highly unlikely). These types of missiles are very large and VERY expensive.

Even Israeli intelligence puts the number of Shahab-3 missiles in the low hundreds:

And Israel has an anti-ballistic missile shield (Arrow) to defend against these very missiles.
