Well,
We have been hearing there kind of news for several years. The JPost has always been trying to remain on track when it brings the news, but with Iran, they pretty much report everything, and then other Israeli new agencies fallow suit.
For almost a hundred years the ME hasn't been stable. However, sparking an arm race is imminent at this point I guess. Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait are now investing in developing their defensive military capability, but I don't think it is enough. The UAE though is doing a great job.
Striking Iran by Israel will only give Iran the legitimacy to go for nuclear weapons , Iran already has mastered the technology of nuclear enrichment so if Israel strikes it will only take iran 2 years to bring back what Israel has destroyed .
The best solution is what is being done now , Iran enriching at 20% for peaceful purposes under UN inspection, by the way acknowledging Iran's right to enrich will allow other countries in the region in future to also go for enriching .
Iran will never launch a nuclear strike on Israel because it would mean mutual destruction of both countries and by the way if Iran nukes Israel it would also lead to the death of 1.2 million shia in Lebanon and 4 million Palestinians in addition to a nuclear strike that will wipe Syria off the map .
Israel already has nuclear missiles aimed at Syria and Lebanon so if Iran launches a nuclear strike on Israel it would mean the end of Syria , Lebanon and Iraq.
Iranians are not that stupid and they understand the consequences of a nuclear attack on Israel would mean the end of their own allies and themselves to .
what I cant understand is netenyahu craziness over completely dismantling iran nuclear program which will never work even if Israel strikes .
The only way for Iran nuclear program to end is through regime change and occupation , something Israel will never have the capability to do , the only country that could do that is USA but again the consequences of such action would lead to a regional war and perhaps world war , the USA will never try to do that unless if another crazy republican takes over after 3 years.
Netenyahu is a threat to both Israel and the middle east.
Even KSA and other Arab countries understand the seriousness of the danger of a nuclear Iran. Hopefully, they will cooperate with Israel to prevent this threat.
Striking Iran by Israel will not end their nuclear program , it will only delay it for 2-3 years , Israelis themselves have said this , if Israel strikes then iran will have the right to go for nuclear weapons.
iran has already mastered the technology of nuclear enrichment and the world has to recognize their right to enrich for peaceful purposes at 20% , something iran already accepts.
striking iran will only endanger arab gulf countries security , we will be the ones taking the full burden of Iranian counter strike.
Iran cant directly threaten Israel and Hezbollah can be easily eliminated by Israel through an Israeli mass missile strike and Syria will never allow iran to use its ground for attack on Israel as they already are struggling dealing with their own civil war.
netenyahu is a crazy man , I cant understand how he is thinking , unless he is only bluffing to get maximum concession from Iran regarding its role in Lebanon in return for acknowledging its right to enrich .
