A good point well made. I’m not convinced that the IDF has the capability to do the job properly on their own. A half assed attack that excludes us could make the entire situation a lot more dangerous.
It is a difficult situation, no doubt about it.
Even nuclear bunker-busters could not guarantee destruction of all the sites...they are not so all powerful against hardened targets as many think.
But teams on the ground at the sites could destroy them. Air strikes cannot.
There is only one way for Israel to control access to the sites. Neutron weapons of limited kill radius could isolate the sites from Iranian troops and armor. Teams would need to get in and quickly assemble small bunkers built to block neutron bombardment. They can then keep the Iranians at bay while they proceed to destroy the sites.
I have thought about this a lot. I see no other way to control access to the sites other than the use of battlefield neutron devices and I see no way to destroy the sites without teams on the ground. I suppose Israel could just light up the whole place and put an end to Iran, but there are a lot of good folk there who do not hate the west. It was Carter that saddled these people with the despots that rule over them.
