World Affairs Board - View Single Post - Theoretical Discussion: What if Iran Attacks Israel?

So is there a way for Iran to actually attack Israel?

I say not really. Aerial assaults are out of the question, IMO. If USA, Israel or Turkey will detect Iranian airplanes in their airspace, these planes will be shot down rather quickly. Then, given the possiblity that the airplanes carried nukes, Iran will be attacked by everyone.

Land and sea assaults are even more impossible.

The only way, and the way it most certainly will happen, is that of giving terrorists a bomb, and then quoting Manuel from Fawlty Towers
"I'm Mahmoud, I'm from Iran, I know nothing"
