They will do it just as they the reactor in Bagdad in 1981.
Did you bother to read the article?
Iran is going to get the bomb (if they don't already have a few stashed courtesy of A.Q. Khan or the North Koreans) and Israel is just going to deal with it.
An interesting read. The article details the numerous challenges and how they would be overcome.
The article concludes that they cannot be overcome.

So what should Israeli policy makers conclude from this American study? That an IAF strike on Iran would be complicated and problematic, and that the chance of it succeeding is not great. That they must weigh all of the far-reaching ramifications that an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities would have, and that they must not be fooled by promises, should any be made, by Israel Defense Forces officers who present the attack plan as having good odds for success....
When the IAF destroyed the Osirak reactor in Baghdad in 1981, the "Begin doctrine" came into being, which holds that Israel will not let any hostile country in the region acquire nuclear weapons. The problem is that what could be accomplished in Iraq more than two decades ago is no longer possible today under the present circumstances in Iran....
In another year, or three years from now, when the Iranians possess nuclear weapons, the rules of the strategic game in the region will be completely altered. Israel must reach that moment with a fully formulated and clear policy in hand, enabling it to successfully confront a potential nuclear threat, even when it is likely that the other side has no intention of carrying it out....
Therefore, all the declarations about developing the operational capability of IAF aircraft so they can attack the nuclear facilities in Iran, and the empty promises about the ability of the Arrow missile defense system to contend effectively with the Shahab-3, not only do not help bolster Israel's power of deterrence, but actually undermine the process of building it and making it credible in Iranian eyes.
It appears the best we can hope for, is that Amadamnutjob isnt quite as insane as he seems to be.......
YC.......
HUH? The guy hasn't done one thing......Israel will ATTACK Iran with hate, not the other way around, and I'll give anyone who reads this 20-1 odds the reverse won't occur, I'm so sure Iran will not attack anyone.......the chances of an Iranian attack on the United States are at least 500-1. Israel probability of hate attack is about 1-1, and the US attack (as Israel's pathetic proxy) is probably 5-1. The reverse is practically nil.

So how does that have anything to do with my statement?
Ahmedinejad has openly stated that his intention is to wipe Isreal from the face of the earth.(At least that is what we are told, according to the "translations")
He has seemingly lied about their true intentions regarding nuclear ambitions.(again, this relies upon an ambiguous translation, provided courtesy of TPTB)
So, I'll modify my statement only slightly......Hopefully he isnt quite as insane, as he has been made out to appear. I'd say it's a 50/50 proposition....But since we're talking nuclear armageddon here, perhaps the 50% probability should be considered too high to be comfortable with?
Remind yourself that the straits of Hormuz are so narrow that you can see across them.Our oil supply could be cut off wit a conventional underground explosion.
Well oil prices will be set to rise dramatically. However if the attack by Isreal is quick and the war is very brief it wont have very serious implications and thats what Israel hopes with that senario if Isreal makes a move against Iran.
