I havent read the whole thread yet, but I find the title of this thread disturbing:

"Theoretical Discussion: What if Iran Attacks Israel?"

Iran has already attacked Israel through its proxy Hizbollah. So I assume the question that is being asked is a direct Iranian attack toward Israel. But the thread doesnt clearify if the Iranian attack is a reponse to Israel's attack, or is the Iranian attack, an unprovoked attack.

If the latter is being asked, then I find it utterly hilarious the thought of Iranian attack against Israel?? .. with what?? ... couple of old Phantoms escorted by F-14, like the ambitious H-2 raid that was done against Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War. and what would the point of such raid, which most probably fail, considering the fact that Israel's ally occupies Iraq.

If it is ballistic missile attack that we are talking about, I am just assuming that considering the fact that Iran has no nuclear arsenal, they (Shahabs fitted with chemicals) are for last resort and to be used against Israel, should Israel decides to go nuclear.
