A single airstrike, by Israel, or the US or anybody, is probably not going to knock the Iranian nuclear program off-line. In the first place, the program is spread out in several different places, and most likely the most sensitive equipment is kept underground. The Iranians did learn from Osirak.
In the second place any strike would have negative effects; it would bind the Iranian people closer to the regime, it would give Iran more legitimacy in the international community, and it won't stop their ambitions. It could also set off more terrorism against Israel and possibly the US by Hezbollah, Hamas, and the IRGC.

The last time they flew to bomb the Syrian reactor they allegedly flew around the Turkish border, not straight through Syria. Flying straight through the middle could have them tangling with thicker Syrian air defenses, the Syrian Air Force, and could tip off Iran before they even got close. Sounds like a dead-end option to me. Israel might want to consider investing in its own carrier group
There is the Southern Route around the Arabian peninsula. Of course, it would require a lot of refueling. Probably not feasable.

Why doesn't the US put Israel on the top list for the F-35 instead of Turkey? A veiled public rattle to LM to speed up the F-35A programe for an Israeli deployment could give the US a psychological stick to force Iran to abandon its quest.

An offer to sell B-1s to Israel would do the same thing. :)

Originally posted by Yusuf View PostNot implying anything. Its the general way the US policy is towards Israel. Its a strong ally and they have all the support of the US. US will be more than happy if Israel takes lead in attacking Iran right now as its international standing is at an all time low and also the American people might not approve of any new aggression/war.In Iran people belive pepsi stands for pay each penny save israel. -urmomma158
