Israeli Leader Suggests His Country Cannot Rely On US To Act Against Iran Over Nuclear Program

52. The Israelis will undoubtedly attack from the air.

Unfortunately for them, they do not share airspace with Iran.

They will be forced to intrude on someone's airspace, such as Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and maybe Kuwait.

None of these entities will give them advance permission. They'll just have to scoot and hope for the best. Probably the Saudis will be having problems with their equipment.

The Israelis also will need refueling to get home, and will have to recross other countries for that, too.

I'm not sure if the Israelis have the flying tankers that we do. If they don't they'd have to "borrow" ours. The Israelis also don't have friendly nations to the east of Iran where they could put down in an emergency. They also don't have carrier ready aircraft like we do, with a reinforced frame that won't fall apart on the carrier catapult.

I really don't know how the Israelis would carry out a bombing mission against the Iranians. If anyone here has a better idea, I sure would like to hear it.

If the Israelis don't have a workable, all of this may just be bluster.
