Natanz will be at the top of the target list for whoever strikes iran...If only we had half the intestinal fortitude that the Israelis have.
Exercises by various nations happen all the time. To conclude it’s offensive is an opinion and nothing more.
Exercise APPEARED to be...
And thanks NYT for disclosing this.... Unnamed officals.... appeared to be.... pure conjecture.
I had intended to post that any military action would have to wait for the next Israeli PM, probably Natenyahu. That the incumbent lacks the fortitude for such an action after his debacle in Lebanon. Military maneuvers are sometimes just maneuvers.
Then it occurred to me that with the corruption charges poised to take him down, such a high-stakes gamble might be the only chance he has to ensure a legacy other then a cheaply bought and paid-for politician. The leader who defanged the Iranian nuke program would be a significant figure in Israeli history regardless of lesser problems. It’s an interesting thought.

Geez, not quite as scary as it might have been two years ago.
Bluff. If they could maneouvre the US of A to do another war, sure, but Israel will not fight alone.
un-identified officials again. Un-elected too?
We can only hope.
A nuclear “accident” at the Iranian nuke facility would solve the problem, at least temporarily. One cruise missile, stealth cloaked, a 10 KT kaboom...and plausible deniability.
1 little, 2 little, 3 little imams....
Don’t forget to root out the hidden 12th one.
The grand encore of “operation opera” is -— when the fat lady sings!
The Obamination gets elected Potus and it is January 20, 2009.
The Obamination has just said his version of being sworn in as Potus:
““ I do solemnly swear [or affirm] that I will not support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, I will not bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will not faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me Allah. ”
As the Obamination starts to speak, his Pentagon guy with the football tells Obamination, that shorty after he was sworn in, Israel destroyed the political and military assets of Iran and Syria. The Mossad has killed every al Queda leader in Iran, Iraq, fghanistan, Europe and America.
Also, Israeli leaders on world wide tv are showing and documenting the Obamination’s full Islamofascist connections and most of the rats in Congress. They have demanded the surrender of those members of Congress and the Obamination to Israel and Iraq for abetting the killing of innocent Israelis and Iranians by supporting Islamofascists.
George $oreA$$ and his family members and various phoney non profit leaders are in Israel at this time being tried as War Criminals.
“Report: Israel Held Drill As Preparation For Attack On Iran”
Wouldn’t it have been had if they had not?
Iran’s nuclear facilities are too hardened to be directly rendered ineffective by conventional Israeli airstrikes, even multiple ones... and possiby even by unconvetional (read: bunker-busting) strikes.
But, those facilities prob aren;t self-sustaining. They need fuel, maybe electricity, people, etc. And they also need to be run by a goverment & military with a leadership that is still alive, and one that is not overturned by a people who are begging for the pain to stop.
Natanz will be at the top of the target list for whoever strikes iran...I won’t believe it until it is confirmed by Debka.
It would be a one way trip for the Israeli pilots. If the US allows them to overfly Iraq, it will be viewed as the US attacking Iran. Which we do not have the men, material, or money to do.
We can't even finish up the job in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran is an order of magnitude greater. Couple that with Russia getting very nervous about NATO on all over her western and now southern borders, and it could set up a world war.
I’m really confused by this revelation that Israel has been doing a drill to hit Iran.
The biggest advantage you have against your enemy is SURPRISE! Why on earth would Israel want Iran to know it’s coming to get their little project and make it a cement parking lot ..??
And .. if Israel is really planing this .. are they using the USA to give out the information? .. because Israel may have told us they were going to hit Iraq’s nukes (years ago), but we never made it public.
This just seems strange to me that this exercise has been made public.
