The modified F-35s have been working over Hamas and Hezbollah for months now, even striking Damascus, Syria.

Not as contested of an airspace as going downtown in Iran (with apologies to Flight of the Intruder.)

In Syria, they have to face the stronger air defenses then in Iran. Iranian AF is a joke of very obsolete airframes. No contest.

The Iran AF consists of US F-4s and F-14s, but they also have the Russian S-300 SAM system, so it isn't something to take for granted.

Israel doesn’t usually advertise its intentions...unless it serves a purpose.

Psychological warfare? Keep Iran all keyed up, by giving false dates and times. Constantly keeping them stressed out, about an impending attack, then eventually hitting them hard.

Many Iranians hate the Mullahs and hate the fact that Iran is an Islamic republic. They like the Western ways.

Best thing for Israel is to do nothing. So Netanyahu needs to be wise and not take their bait.

The Americans are right to pressure Netanyahu. We are giving them free stuff.

Even with conformal fuel tanks that’s a stretch without aerial refueling (will the Saudis allow it?)

They will get inflight refueling, and I think will have permission to use Jordanian and Saudi airspace. The Saudis are worried that Iran will nuc THEM. I think Iran hates Saudi Arabia, more than they hate Israel. Maybe Israel is only planning on missile strikes. We don’t know, but it keeps Iran guessing.

Sorry, it is just a little dream of mine. No slight intended in any way😊

I just thought: if this conference had really happily taken place, to defuse the European crisis: couldn’t the Polish nation have been given justice as well - at long, long last?

Just a thought, and a dream…
