Iranian advisor: We'll strike Dimona in response to U.S.
attack


Is Dimona in Iowa????

It may well be when the Iranians get through with it.

That would imply that they have the means. I think it would
be
difficult for the Iranians to carry out a successful attack on
Israel. The cost would be prohibitive, to say the least...and
the consequences of the virtually guaranteed Israeli response...

...Ken


I suspect any attack on Israel,by Iran in response to destruction
of Iran's nuclear facilities,would be with chemical and biological
weapons.

which would result in Iran becoming a wasteland.......

redc1c4,
(no great loss in anyone's ledger book, IMHO. %-)

Hardly;Israel has ~200 warheads,a limited number of nuclear
missiles,and the rest are gravity weapons that would have to be
delivered by manned aircraft,which would be greatly affected by a
bio-chem attack of any size;Israel is a far smaller country than
Iran.And those manned aircraft would be on a one-way mission(due to
range),across hostile airspace,and into a large country with
considerable air defenses.And I suspect that
some
of those Israeli missiles are not targeted on Iran,but on other
countries.

How difficult is it to re-target a missle?

When an attack has already been made,and people are dying of bio or
chemical weapons?? Regardless of retargeting,Israel only has a small number
of ballistic missiles,and more gravity bombs that may not be deliverable.

How good are the Iranian
air defenses? How good are the Israeli EW suite?

You forget;the Israeli AF has to transit the OTHER Gulf countries like
Saudi Arabia,Jordan,then cross the Gulf itself,altogether a VERY great
distance,much farther than Iraq(one ONE target,required fewer planes),and
they do not have the range to return,so it would be a one-way trip.They
will be short of fuel for maneuvering to avoid air defense missiles,or any
AD fighters that Iran can field. That's a big advantage to the
defenders.Israel does not have that many long range aircraft capable of
that sort of range.

The big question is;how many IRBMs and cruise missiles(with nuke warheads)
does Israel have,and how many undeliverable gravity bombs?

I daresay the odds are in the Israelis favor and the Iranians know it.

I believe you are wrong.
