Doom war disaster armageddon doom middle east going to explode doom

Such an Israeli action would be insane. Israel is one of the world's foremost military powers in terms of firepower and technology but due to the small size of the nation, one tenth of that of Iran, they would need to deliver a decisive knock out blow within about 3 months. Unlikely.

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Such a conflict would have the price of oil soaring. A pretty penny to be made by us dirty spekulants.

Interesting about the cyber attacks/wars being waged, albeit a one-sided one.

Looks like someone has been bumping off Iranian scientists for some time too. Dangerous profession.

Well, the Israelis publicly announced a few years ago that it's enemies weren't safe and national boundaries would not be respected in their bid to protect themselves from those they deemed as a threat.

Mordechai Vanunu!?! anyone?

Gerald Bull had worked for so many parties in so many critical defence projects that he became an asset and a liability for several powerful groups at the same time.[26] It has been speculated that variously members of the Mossad, the CIA, the MI6, Chilean, Iraqi, Iran's VEVAK, or South African government were behind the assassination.

Crikey, talk about unpopular.

Israel has acted before against a perceived nuclear threat. Given US troops in Iraq and civil unrest in Syria et al, they may strike sooner rather than delay. That would also minimise US/UK involvement (although, no doubt, assistance would be provided in spades).

No wonder Obama wants to stay on their good side.

Obama wants to stay on Israel's "good" side so that he can garner the Jewish vote, pure and simple.

Yeah, I know that. I was trying to make a joke about Mossad knocking him off if he wasn't friendly.

Maybe I should use or more often.
