I understand debka is sometimes not trustworthy but it makes sense, since Iran wants Israel dead, they would put military in Syria and Lebanon in order to attack Israel from there.

If Israel bombs Iran's nuclear sites, there will be an immediate attack from Syria/Lebanon land right into Israel.

A few on here have brought up the idea of an EMP created by a high nuclear explosion over Iran that wouldn't harm the people but would fry Iran's electronic systems. I think it would take a very long time, maybe years, for Iran to come back to have even power for electricity. However, that EMT likely wouldn't get deep in the underground where they have their nuclear “crap”.

These are perilous times in every corner of the world. One never knows what the next day's breaking news will be. One of these days it will be “Israel attacked Iran last night”.

I understand debka is sometimes not trustworthy but it makes sense, since Iran wants Israel dead, they would put military in Syria and Lebanon in order to attack Israel from there.

They would have a hard time - both Lebanon and Jordan are pushing troops to their borders with Syria, because Syria has fired into both countries recently or had clashes along those borders.

As I said, this is shaping up to be a full-blown Sunni vs. Shiite extravaganza that some FReepers were predicting years baack.

At this point, Iran saying anything about Israel comes across as more of a diversion, because their bigger problem is keeping Syria's government viable and offsetting the Sunni arms, money, and men flowing into Syria.

I'm not a betting man, but I'd say there is a good chance Syria goes down within the next 12 months and then the Sunni rebels start looking at revenge against Iran for propping up the Syrian government. Iran can send more and more troops in to Syria fight the Sunni rebels, but so far their efforts aren't doing a lick of good.
