TEL AVIV -- Israel has developed the advanced air refueling systems that could facilitate a strike on Iran.
The officials also said the development overcame several years of refusals by Washington to supply the systems required for the 1,000 kilometer flight from Israel to Iran.
Officials said the Israel Air Force has overseen the development and deployment of air refueling systems for its U.S.-origin fighter-jet fleet.

“New Air Refueling System Gives Israel Capacity For Strike On Iran”
Well then what in God’s name are they waiting for?
It's a very complex process to plot the optimum time, but generally speaking, any day of the week that ends in the letter 'y' will work...
“I know some FReepers have an answer to this question: what is the best time of year to conduct an attack on Iran?”
Every day of the week?
You’re mixing up Einstein with Robert Oppenheimer (sp)I do believe.
That’s just nonsense.
Just in the last couple of months on-the-ground Americans were in the Gush pretending to be tourists or olim and got busted spying on whether evil Joooos were building houses Obama didn’t like.
So why are they sending so many spies here if they are so capable?
There is no such thing as “ultra-orthodox.”
Any source that uses that term is silly, including Haartz.
Oppenheimer was more the point man on it, indeed, buy it was Einstein who wrote the letter stating how important it was for the US to get the bomb made before the Nazis could.
It wouldn’t be beneath them...I’m just glad they got the refeulers....an attack on Iran would have been impossible without them.
By the way, in all ways, I have no problems with Israel building on that territory.
My only issue here is that Israel has plenty of things it’s gotten from spying, that’s it. Otherwise, I’m glad for much of what has come out of there.
So why are they sending so many spies here if they are so capable?
“So these Ultra-Orthodox people are actually people from Muslim nations and not Israel?”
Correct (with some exceptions).
They are “Haredi” (who can be from wherever), but generally are Mizrahim (Jewish people expelled from “the East” -— typically muslim countries).
They are of the Sephardic (”Spanish” although not necessarily from Spain) tradition, compared to Ashkenazi (European, typically Germany/Poland/France).
I am Orthodox. I don’t, however, look like a reject from ZZ Top.
;-) But you do look a bit like a Star Wars character...
“So why are they sending so many spies here if they are so capable”
Because the State Department is filled with people who want all the Jewish people in Israel dead?
Because Obama promised to help the Gazan Arabs?
Because Obama is a closet muslim bent on the detruction of Israel?
No time like the present-!
Israel has icbm, cruise, and Predator-knockoff. They only have to get close for the last to have a significant target radius with a range of 400+ miles and an altitude of about 35000 ft. All can carry nukes.
Did you link GTK’s dependencies tree to relate to an optimal attack strategy in middle Asia? I’m vindicated now, GTK is really that much of a mess.
