  Have no problem with Israel attacking Iran, and have no problem with Iran doing what they can to return the favor. They're a sovereign country with a shitty regime. But they should be able to do WTF they want within their border.
  Iran doesn't have the military capability of Israel nor the top assassins out there. But they won't sit around and eat shit decade after decade.
  Bibi has been found lying about Iran's nuclear capabilities decades ago to justify the attacks and tried to pull others in. We do remember that cartoon bomb at 90% two decades ago. One lie after another, attacked multiple times based on those lies. I've no problem with Iran trying to fight back in whatever way they can.
context: I think that the suspected Israeli nuclear arsenal would become the confirmed Israeli nuclear arsenal >
  
  Look into the Samson Option. Retired Israeli brigadier general Itzhak Yaakov referred to this operation as the Israeli Samson Option. In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft. >
  
  Golda Meir would have used the nukes if she had to.
  Her real goal was to get the US to notice her posturing so Israel could get resupplied.
  We only got to this point because Kissinger told Meir not to make a preemptive strike despite intelligence being high that an attack was coming. >
  
  Interesting to contemplate how 1973 would have played out if Israel had launched a preemptive strike.  The IAF had a very difficult time dealing with Soviet SAMs during the war:
  
  Official Israeli Air Force losses of the Yom Kippur War number at 102 aircraft, including 32 F-4 Phantoms, 53 A-4 Skyhawks, 11 Dassault Mirages, and 6 IAI Sa'ars
  
  I doubt that Israel would have achieved anywhere near the level of success of the 1967 war opening air strikes. >
  
  Israeli aircraft have gotten much better. Soviet Era anti-aircraft installations in widespread use by Arab countries did not. S-300, for example, failed to protect sites in Syria from Israeli airstrikes, and that was before they started fielding F-35s. >
  
  Oh sure.  Israelis got better very quickly after '73 and demolished Syria's air defenses and air force in '82.  Iran can't defeat Israel in a war -- this is all just posturing. >
  
  Iran knows it can't defeat Israel and won't attack except maybe through proxies. Israel won't strike Iran because it will be costly. Iran has an air defense system that is designed specifically to defend from US fighters. Even the most hawkish war pigs in congress stopped short of an Iran invasion. Israel does not have the man power for a large scale invasion of Iran. It is all posturing. Neither country wants to go to war. I hope Israel doesn't try to drag the US into another Middle-East conflict. US citizens are tired of war. >
  
  It's not only Israel that desperately wants to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons...
  The Saudis and even the UAE would certainly provide assistance to stop it. (The Saudis have recently acquired cruise missiles from China ... capable of hitting anywhere in Iran)
  And it really doesn't matter how costly it is. Israel has planes to burn, what it can't afford is a crazed islamist regime with nukes in its region. >
  
  Is it Tuesday already? >
  
  My thoughts exactly, you tell the day of the week by these threats, 
  Iran threatens Israel = Tuesday.
  North Korea threatens South Korea = Thursday.
  Russia threatens NATO = Monday. >
  
  Don't forget China Threatens Taiwan Wednesdays >
  
  Dinner is spaghetti on Wednesday as well. It’s good to have a schedule. >
  
  It's Friday, we'll be having fish sticks... >
  
  Do you put them in your mouth? >
  
  Yes I love fish sticks >
  
  Than you must me a gay fish. >
  
  Ever notice that countries that actually bomb shit don't threaten to bomb shit,
  they just bomb shit >
  
  Good point. I've never heard of a US official threatening ISIS leadership if they keep doing terrorist shit. They just send a hellfire through the roof of their car and call it a day. >
  
  You should look up some Mattis quotes >
  
  Pretty sure Iran threatens to annihilate Israel twice a week for the past 20 years. >
  
  Only the past 20? It’s been like this since the ‘79 Revolution >
  
  Don't they say the same thing about if Israel doesn't attack their nuclear sites? >
  
  They need a war to stop their own people uprising, basically. >
  
  Here is a bunch of wood and a hammer. Other accessories you already have. >
  
  Israel has an estimated 200 nuclear warheads, so good luck with that. >
  
  The second they get their hands on nukes they're gonna fire them at Israel, they will not care if Israel manages to destroy 200 cities in Iran and make the country unhabitable for centuries with their nukes, they do not care about the people, only their ideology which they think will take them to "heaven". >
  
  Why would Iran, a Muslim country nuke land that contains one of Islams three holiest sites, the dome of the rock? The other two, Mecca and Medina are in Saudi Arabia their arch enemy (Sunni). >
  
  They don't care. Hezbollah sponsored by them has shot countless of rockets on Israeli cities containing large Palestinian communities. >
  
  Everyone cares about self preservation despite the rhetoric they might use to stay in power >
  
  Self-preservation goes out the window when the guy with his finger on the button is a true-believer religious fanatic who thinks he's going to paradise. >
  
  "Not without nukes you don't."
  
  Israel >
  
  So long as Iran continue its current policy of destruction of Israel there is no way Israel will allow Iran to develop nuclear capability even if it means going to war.
  No one want to go war but at the same time it would be foolish to let your enemy obtain means of destruction that can destroy your country. >
  
  So... flipping the script, Iran should attack Israel, their eternal enemy, because it already had nuclear weapons, which would allow them to destroy Iran? And that the UN passed a resolution overwhelming for disarmament of?
  Or is everything Iran does bad and everything Israel does good? >
  
  Like it or not Israel is the only stable nation in the region. Iran wants to destroy Israel, Israel just wants to exist. Iran already funds and gives weapons to Hezbollah and other terrorist actors. There is no doubt a high probability of a terrorist group obtaining a nuclear weapon if Iran is able to create them. >
  
  Do you even understand what counts as "terrorism"? Killing scientists of another state is part of that.
  I don't want Iran to get a nuke, but I also want Israel to give up in theirs, as the UN overwhelming l voted for not a month ago. Do you? Or do you think Israel should be the only ones with nukes in the region? >
  
  I don’t want isreal to give up it’s nukes, and the UN is stupid for voting for it. Getting rid of its nukes makes it far more vulnerable and more likely to get attacked. I’d love a nuke free world. Russia and Ukraine has shown why that’s a pipe dream >
  
  Don't attack the sites we're using to build a bomb to raze Tel Aviv, or we'll raze Tel Aviv!
  Fuckwads. >
  
  Exactly. Continue to kill your daughters, mothers and wives you fucking pieces of shit >
  
  Israel has nothing to lose. Can you imagine Iran with nuclear arms. Iran is an autocratic theocracy who bitches about the US and Israel but has its tentacles throughout the Middle East and advocates for Israel's destruction on a regular basis so it's up for being sabotaged and nuclear facilities being bombed. >
  
  I supported the JCPOA and naively thought we could bring the Iranian government back to the negotiating table.  Seeing how they have aligned with Russia and its genocidal war of annexation, I realize that was naive.  As Zelensky put it so well before the US Congress, "One terrorist has found another terrorist".  
  Israel (and also Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) should absolutely take whatever steps are necessary to prevent the Iranian government from further enriching uranium. >
  
  From a moral point of view, how was Russia seizing Crimea different than Israel continuing to seize land for new West Bank settlements? West Bank seizures that are condemned by the US, Europe and the UN. 
  When the Palestinians fight back with rocket attacks, how is that so different morally than the Ukrainians fighting back?
  It’s simply a matter of scale and what you can get away with….. >
  
  Ignoring Jordan's culpability in the West Bank's status quo exposes your view point to outright dismissal.  The West Bank was seized from Jordan, not an independent or sovereign Palestinian nation.  Pan Arabism robbed the Palestinians of agency and that isn't Israel's fault.  I'm a full supporter of a two state (or three state) solution with land exchanges but you need to have sincere dialogue as a starting point.  You're argument is based on historical revisionism instead. >
  
  So educate me. 
  I’m talking about Israel now taking land and building new settlements where Palestinians reside. 
  These new West Bank settlements have been condemned by everyone including the US. 
  How does Israel justify this today when no other countries support it and it is clearly inflammatory to the Palestinian people? >
  
  It's simple: when someone tells you they'll never make peace with you and repeatedly act on that sentiment, you believe them.  I agree with your statement about that leading to morally corrupt behavior but it's easier to stomach when those negatively impacted have already eagerly shown their willingness to kill you and your children.  It's a shameful form of reality; two different sets of values will always meet at the least common denominator.  The world is already so dishonest morally towards the only refuge for Jews that international pressure is ineffective. >
  
  What do you mean the only refuge for Jews? I live in the US and there are Jewish people living here peacefully everywhere. 
  Never make peace with you? You think the Palestinian people don’t want peace, don’t want a state of their own? That’s just you dehumanizing them and buying into Israeli state propaganda. 
  Israel has a very strong military and a very strong economy. Palestinians are mostly living in poverty, subjugated to certain land without nation status. Israel is in a position of great strength and could afford to be generous and compassionate in a two state negotiated settlement. But instead they use this strength to just take more land, build more settlements. It’s disgusting. >
  
  Yeah dude, that's not really a response to what I wrote.  You're accusing me of propaganda but spitting it back too.  
  Let's not devolve the dialogue and let's take a step back to try to sincerely communicate.  What do you think each "side" must do to achieve an acceptable steady state?  What should that acceptable steady state look like, in your opinion? >
  
  I don’t pretend to know the intricacies of a viable settlement that could lead to a two-state solution. 
  All I know is that as Israel seizes land and builds new settlements, they are not only poking the Palestinians in the eye but also poking countries like the US who have long supported them in the eye. 
  So anytime I see a thread where Israelis claim some kind of moral high ground, I simply ask the question. Why are you continuing to build West Bank settlements?
  I have yet to receive an intelligent and satisfactory answer, which confirms my long-held belief that Israel actually has no interest in a negotiated peace with the Palestinians. >
  
  Iran won't be able to raze Tel Aviv if Israel bombs the nuclear sites.  That's the whole point of razing the nuclear sites. >
  
  And it's not like Iran has a bunch of nuclear subs all over the place. It's pretty likely the Israelis know exactly where every nuclear weapon in Iran's possession is located. >
  
  "Well sure, but you'll have to do that with conventional arms, while we may or may not have nuclear weapons.. so.." >
  
  What people are not saying is how the Sunni Arab states will basically approve of this strike and will probably let Israeli aircraft enter thier airspace to strike Iran.  Saudi Arabia may not have any official diplomatic ties with Israel but they definitely hate Iran more than they hate israel >

  Israel's response to this and every other threat: "Fuck around and find out/Come get wrecked." >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  "Suppose the Israeli jets manage to reach the Natanz nuclear site in one piece and damage it," he said, referring to a major nuclear facility buried under a mountain, grouping advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium.
  Earlier on Saturday, Zohar Palti, a former senior Israeli defense official and ex-Mossad intelligence chief, warned that Iran was closer than ever to producing enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon, and that Israel should be ready to carry out a preemptive strike.
  While 60 percent enrichment is still a far from the 90 percent levels needed to build a nuclear weapon, non-proliferation experts have warned in recent months that Iran now has enough enriched uranium to reprocess it into fuel to design at least one nuclear bomb.

  People have been trying to wipe out Israel pretty much since the day it came to exist.  They got some badass hebrews over there and I'll believe Iran's bullshit when I see it.
  Until then, just more saber rattling. >
  
  That day represented the first refusal of Palestinians for a peaceful co-existence and instead a declared genocide.
  You blame the victims of attempted genocide at defending themselves, which is both sad and amusing. >
  
  If someone shows up at your house with bigger guns than you have and says, “hey, let’s split your property down the middle”, how would you respond?
  When you say, “hell no, that’s not fair”, and they make you move to a patch of sand 50 miles away to start your life over, are you cool with that? Or does it fuel animosity that lasts for generations. 
  Truly put yourself in their shoes and the situation looks much different. >
  
  You are trying to justify attempted genocide with disinformation.
  Israel is more the homeland of the Jewish people than of Palestinians, who are mostly made up of Arabs who moved into the land after the Jewish people were violently expelled out.
  Israel is filled with an endless amount of archeological evidence of the Jews who lived here for thousands of years, many decades before Islam even existed and even after it there were always Jewish communities here.
  Also our people's entire culture was based around Israel and the coming back to it ("Next year in Jerusalem").
  You can check whatever you want including DNA evidence to confirm that this is where all Jews came from.
  But anyway, the Jews never asked to kick the Palestinians out (Or genocide them, like their leaders still do), but simply to live side by side in peace. >
  
  Keep telling yourself that to sleep at night, to justify your barbaric treatment of the Palestinians. We were just reclaiming our land from thousands of years ago. And if Iran does nuke Israel to ashes 30 years from now, the Palestinians may move back in and claim, “we are just reclaiming our land from 100 years ago”. 
  America has no moral high ground. We did the same, or worse, to the Native Americans. 
  My big problem with Israel, and the big problem most intelligent, fair-minded people have with Israel, is that while you are giving lip service to a two-state solution, you continue to claim land and build West Bank settlements, further pouring fuel on the fire. 
  Israel is disingenuous , hypocritical and does not respect the human rights of the Palestinian people. It’s very obvious to anyone paying attention. >
  
  I think you don't understand the concept of nuclear fallout, nor the concept of MAD and what will actually probably happen to the entire planet if nukes will start flying.
  Regarding your problem with Israel, the settlements. Are you aware that we cleared all settlements around the Gaza strip and got tens of thousands of rockets in return?
  Have you ever looked up to the sky and witnessed rockets flying above your head, just ducking and hoping the Iron dome will hit them or they would miss you?
  Have you woke up 3 different times during the middle of the night to run with your kids to the shelter together with your neighbors?
  And now you think there would be political power to leaders wanting to evacuate the west bank?
  Who exactly do you think the Palestinian endless and senseless violence empowers in Israeli politics?
  People hating Israel are the ones who are being disingenuous. The Palestinians can have peace tomorrow and be on their way for a country of their own if their leaders will just stop the delusional attempted genocide and vast education of citizens (Including 3 year olds!) to extreme hate and violence. >
  
  Oh boo hoo. You take a primitive people’s lands with US and European made weapons - displacing them from their homes - and then complain when they fire some rockets back at you. 
  Your problem is that you aren’t compassionate. You think you’re superior to the Palestinians and Arabs. And this superiority is justification to continue to treat them like shit. 
  I’m not talking about going in and dismantling the West Bank settlements. I’m asking why have you continued to build new ones over the past 20 years if you truly desire peace with the Palestinians. But way to dodge the question. >
  
  
  Oh boo hoo. You take a primitive people’s lands with US and European made weapons - displacing them from their homes - and then complain when they fire some rockets back at you.
  
  You are making the classic mistake born in Iranian and Palestinian propaganda of treating Israelis as some European colonizers. We are not. Our people came back to Israel as previously established (Also 60% of us are Mizrahi Jews, escaped from countries in the middle east from Muslim hate and persecution, not Europeans). And the people here fought us with the best Soviet and British made weapons together with 7 other Arab armies, all declaring their intention for genocide.
  Also saying "Some rockets" just shows your incredible bias against us, as tens of thousands of rockets were launched on our cities. Destroying homes, damaging infrastructure and of course killing innocent men, women and children.
  
  Your problem is that you aren’t compassionate. You think you’re superior to the Palestinians and Arabs. And this superiority is justification to continue to treat them like shit.
  
  I don't think I'm superior to anyone. You have built a strawmen to direct your hate unto. Sad, ignorant and possibly racist.
  
  I’m not talking about going in and dismantling the West Bank settlements. I’m asking why have you continued to build new ones over the past 20 years if you truly desire peace with the Palestinians. But way to dodge the question.
  
  Because the political power shifted away from the left after decades of senseless and endless Palestinian violence. I can promise you that if violence would stop there would be a huge rise of support for giving the Palestinians more autonomy and stop the settlers, which I would gladly go myself to kick out of the west bank in such a case.
  But as long as declared genocide is the goal, educating for extreme hate is the way, and rockets or suicide vests is the usual tactic... Well, the status quo will continue. >

  Is this threat retroactive, did they forget about stuxnet, or did they give Israel a pass on that since it was pretty damn good, did they forget about their nuclear scientist being assassinated or their enrichment site that was bombed in the past. Iran, like Russia is great at terrorizing their own people but can't manage any kind of fighting with a capable country. >

  This is like Russia threatening the west if they do anything, it’s hollow because they know they’d get crushed >
  
  I'm sure "Iron Dome" Israel is terrified right now. >
  
  Israel explicitly told Ukraine that Iron Dome isn't for long range ballistic missiles, nor cruise missiles. It's meant for smaller targets the likes of which Hamas and Hezbollah use. Even if it were it can be overcome in an saturation attack. How many incoming missiles can ID stop at once? Iran has thousands of missiles capable of reaching Israel.
  There's not much about Iran that's a threat to Israel but Iran's missile program is. Why do you think Israel was arguing so hard to get limitations put on Iran's missile program as part of the JCPOA. It's no joke. >
  
  Sure, but the original comment was specifically about Iron Dome. And other systems, as effective as they are, can be overcome by saturation strategies. We're seeing that in Ukraine right now.
  The overarching point here being that Iran's threat has credibility to it and can't be dismissed out of hand like so many in this thread are doing. >
  
  Yeah but you don't really have to stop them all. I mean you kinda do but really you just have to make it so enormously inefficient and not cost effective for your opponent. If Iran has to fire 100 cruise missiles to hit 5 targets that's an expensive attack for not a lot of damage. We all know their drones are not getting through so their only hope to hit anything is cruise missiles and rockets. I looked it up they have an estimated 3000 of these weapons.
  The big question is how effective are these systems against swarming attacks. I don't know of enough examples of them working to the 90%+ but if they can get there, that would mean Iran can only reasonably expect to hit 300 targets and that's it. Meanwhile Israel could hit them back 10 times harder. >
  
  
  their only hope to hit anything is cruise missiles and rockets
  
  No, their primary weapons are ballistic missiles (e.g., MRBMs). Some are multiple-warhead systems, all are very high terminal velocity, some have terminal phase maneuvering to defeat countermeasures.
  
  If Iran has to fire 100 cruise missiles to hit 5 targets that's an expensive attack
  
  That's not what has to happen, we're talking saturation strategy. You launch one missile with a dozen decoys and then several more with real warheads. Now you've swamped the opponent's air defenses and your success rate is much higher.
  
  Meanwhile Israel could hit them back 10 times harder.
  
  Israel could outfit some of its Jericho missiles with HE warheads instead of nuclear, but I've seen no indication they have the quantity of missiles Iran has. Further, if Israel is going to strike Iranian facilities they they'll likely do so with missiles if they have sufficient quantity because they can't run a sustained air campaign against Iran. A couple of missions, sure, but nothing sustained.
  So, whatever they do is going to trigger a massive barrage of missiles from Iran. It's unlikely they have air defenses good enough to appreciably defeat MRBM warheads travelling at hypersonic speeds.
  So this is the conundrum that people hate to see. What can Israel do to Iran without being bloodied in the process? Not much. That's why they'll rely on the US to step in and clean up the mess. >

  Iran will eventually be on the recieving end of many cruise missles. >
  
  As they should. That’s called national defense. >
  
  "raze Tel Aviv"?  with what exactly? Somehow I don't think Israel is scared of the 80 F-14's the US sent Iran in the 70's. If Iran has developed nukes, Israel knows where they are & already has multiple plans to take them out. Perhaps Iran wasn't paying attention during the 6 Day War or Yom Kippur War. 
  Back then USA was Israel's biggest ally and supplier of weapons. Even so, when the 6 Day War started the USS Liberty was listening to communications --so Israel sunk the ship! Let me repeat, Israel sank the ship of the most powerful nation on earth, which was also their greatest ally and where they received the most financial and military support. To put it very bluntly, Israel does not eff around.  
  The only reason Iran is talking about war is to try and unite it's people since they have started revolting in the streets.  It is also pretty difficult to fight a war with half your population (and military) involved in either participating in a revolution or suppressing one. Iran has been forced to buy third-rate military crap from Russia since it's falling out with the USA, and most people see how that garbage is working out in Ukraine. 
  Iran has been financing and supplying many of the terrorist groups attacking Israel for years and destabilizing the entire region for decades. There are many in leadership positions in Israel, including the PM that have itchy trigger fingers and are hoping Iran does something that can give them the excuse to pounce. I hope the situation de-escalates because the Iranian people are really cool. They need to get the religious nutcases out of the halls of government and let Iran go back to being a much more western society. But if any of Iran's mouthing off is followed up with actions, history has shown that it isn't going to end well for them. >

  Syrian civil war has more casuatlies in 4 months than the entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict in 4 months.
  Dem, Zionists are so bad at killing people with all them advanced weapons. >

  However, if Israel would use nuclear weapons against a non nuclear state its open season on the UN table. Doesnt matter the motives, reasons Iran had. Israel used first against a non nuclear state. In that second any country worth a damn should go nuclear cuz thats the only way you gonna not get invaded. And nobody can condemn them. >

  Yeah you forgot the top one that is most volatile and probably the likeliest to go off.  Pakistan vs India. Both have nuclear weapons and both hate each other and both have leaders that pander to religious zealots in their country >

  Fucking Luxembourg. Fuck that artificial construct, only held alive by its allies, the greedy capitalists. I hate them. Wait? They are not Jews you say? Never mind. >
  
  Israel has been attacking Iran under various forms the past few decades. From bombing, sabotages to assassinations and Iran can't do shit besides threatening. Don't like the regime but like any other countries, they should have the right to defend themselves. Iran won't last in an open war, but they can certainly do some damages. >

  I mean… they finance and supply multiple terrorist orgs around Israel. They also tried assassinating military/government officials, which is as legitimate as Israel assassinating Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists. But the difference is, when Iran failed, they instead tried to assassinate any random Israeli tourists in Turkey. Not to mention their military presence in Syria, and since Syria is still at war with Israel, Israel has every right to attack them there.
