Why Israel will not attack Iran’s nukes

Israel will not attack Iran’s nuclear facilities partly because Iran is far away and would be very difficult and costly to attack, but mainly because it’s not necessary

The Persian Bomb – Living Lake Country, By Al Neuhauser

Sept. 26, 2010 Lot of folks seem to be exercised over the potential of Iran developing an atomic bomb to loft into Israel or even across the pond to us. Equally dire is the potential for Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. However, we must remember that in politics, local or world, all is not as it seems. In fact, practically nothing is. Actually, all the hoopla is about oil. (Surprise!)

…………..Israel will not attack Iran’s nuclear facilities partly because Iran is far away and would be very difficult and costly to attack, but mainly because it’s not necessary. Besides, if Iran is attacked, the first thing they will do is mine the Straits of Hormuz to the hilt, stopping much of the flow of oil via tanker and creating a monumental world economic crisis that will make the present one seem tame.

This is in no-one’s interest, including Israel but especially the U.S.In order to successfully attack Iran and neutralize the nuclear threat, their conventional military capability, especially naval, would have to be neutralized to prevent the closure of Hormuz. Only the U.S. has the capability to do this. That is the dilemma that we and the western world face. As a result, don’t expect anything more than bluster and rhetoric along with ineffective sanctions, at least for the duration.Five years from now …?
