Alright, I'm going to try this again because the last time I presented this topic I did it in an incorrect fassion.

WARNING: DO NOT ENGAGE IN A ISRAEL-IRAN DEBATE. THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF THIS THREAD AND ANY POSTS OF THAT KIND WILL BE IMMEDIATELY REFERED TO THE MODERATORS. THIS IS NOT A COUNTRY VS. COUNTRY THREAD. KEEP PERSONAL POLITICS TO THE POLITICS FORUM.

There is currently a notion amoung many in the world that Israel would launch a millitary strike against Iran if Iran continues its current path with regards to nuclear technology. However, Israel and Iran do not share a geographic boarder and the politics of the region are areguably the most complex and tense in the world. There are many other factors including the defenses of the sites in question, logistical constraints, technological avaliability, and offensive capability amoung others that must be considered in such an event.

The question posed is what are the possible ways and the most likely way for Israel to launch a sucessfull strike on Iran as many in the media claim they will do.

I'm guessing aircraft.

Well, I'm looking for a little more depth than that

What's your theory?

Well, I don't know what the Israeli air force's offensive capabilities are enough to make a good determination on how such a strike would work.

I do think that the best plan is to fly straight over Iraq and make a deal with the Iraqi government behind closed doors that they won't condemn the invasion of their air space but they also won't support it. That way they don't have to answer to their constituants that they helped the Jews, they can just say by the time we realized it was happenning it was over.

I dont think it is possible because the Israeli's are to focused on the palistinians.

it wont happen!

Well, It had happened when Israel Air striked Eygyt in the Six day war. I think the Israelis will Strike with their Warplanes and Bombers in the night. At those Nuclear Reactors, They will drop bombs to destroy them. They may also send in assault teams to sabotage the other buildings and structures that are related to the Nuclear program! If there is a chance, I think the Israeli Commandos will mopst probably assainate the Iran President.

Egypt is one thing as that is "right across the border", remember Iran is loated at a much longer distance and requires the usage of neighbouring countries airspace. Will Syria and/or Jordan allow that to happen? If no, then a flight over the Red Sea, Arabian Sea and into the Persian Gulf is their only option if not Turkey plays out a joker setting at risk NATO.

may be he was talking about attack on the Osirak reactor in 1980s?
