get ready!--Israel is going to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities (middle east, Israeli)

[nickerman]

You know its going to happen. Bibi said many times that Israel would not compromise its security for anybody. In the mind of Israel's leadership Iran's nuclear program is a life and death issue. They aren't going to sit back and do nothing if they think that there is the slightest chance that Iran might build a bomb. But it isn't really the building of the bomb right now that worries Israel as much as it is the preparation for building one that is likely to go on and which at some point in time is going to enable Iran to build one quickly. When the bombing of Iran happens(and it will) all hell is going to break loose. Get ready for WW3.

Wouldn't be surprised. Little to soon though. Maybe sometime in the next 12 months.

The Israelis don't have the capabilities. If they could've, they would've already.

Iran is too far away, and without U.S. assistance (which they won't get and SHOULDN'T get BTW), it's just not doable.

[ericsami]

Israel will not do such a thing.

the entire point of Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders commotion in the last 20 years is to have America do this for them.

They have no interest in carrying out such riskie operation themselves.

oh really

It is believed that Israel had possessed an operational nuclear weapons capability by 1967, with the mass production of nuclear warheads occurring immediately after the Six-Day War.[2] Although no official statistics exist, it has been estimated that Israel possesses from 75 to as many as 400 nuclear weapons, which are reported to include thermonuclear weapons in the megaton range.[3][4][5] Israel is also reported to possess a wide range of different systems, including neutron bombs, tactical nuclear weapons, and suitcase nukes.[6] Israel is believed to manufacture its nuclear weapons at the Negev Nuclear Research Center.


Nuclear weapons delivery mechanisms include Jericho intercontinental ballistic missiles, with a range of 11,500 km, and which are believed to provide a second-strike option. Israel's nuclear-capable ballistic missiles are believed to be buried so far underground that they would survive a nuclear attack.[7][8] Additionally, Israel is believed to have an offshore nuclear second-strike capability, using submarine-launched nuclear-capable cruise missiles, which can be launched from the Israeli Navy's Dolphin-class submarines.[9] The Israeli Air Force has F-15I and F-16I Sufa fighter aircraft are capable of delivering nuclear weapons at long distances using conformal fuel tanks and their aerial refueling fleet of modified Boeing 707's.[10]
The Israeli government maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity on whether it has nuclear weapons, saying only that it would "not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the Middle East."[11] Former International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei regarded Israel as a state possessing nuclear weapons.[12] Much of what is known about Israel's nuclear program comes from revelations in 1986 by Mordechai Vanunu, a technician at the Negev Nuclear Research Center who served an 18-year prison sentence as a result. Israel has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but supports establishment of a Middle East Zone free of weapons of mass destruction.[13]

Let's hope it is done on the day when the communist and his friend horse face is visiting. Best case they would have half dozen of their favorite corrupt supporters along on the visit..

Incorrect. Israel doesn't and never wants America to do anything for them

They have no interest in carrying out such riskie operation themselves.

They have already said military options are on the table just the other day

Israel also has bunker buster bombs as well.

They might but I have more doubts today that they will than not long ago.

Israel most certainly has the capabilities to do it. Israel always do things their way and when they want to do it.

Iran is too far away, and without U.S. assistance (which they won't get and SHOULDN'T get BTW), it's just not doable.

Iran is not too far away and Israel has refueling planes just like the US. So no Israel doesn't need US assistance. The Saudis made a deal with Israel last month saying they can use Saudi Arabia airspace for bomb runs against Iran.
