This is a very insightful read on the current situation as far as these two nation states are concerned.

The original story was posted on World Net Daily back on March 7, 2010.

Quote: “Right now we know about the facilities. … We know where they are,” he said. “We know exactly what their dimensions are, and I think they are susceptible to an Israeli attack.”
.
Former American UN ambassador John Bolton said an Israeli military option “isn’t there forever. … If Israel is going to use military force, it needs to use it sooner rather than later.” end quote. The above quote was made with WND senior reporter Aaron Klein who was hosting New York’s WABC 770 AM radio program where the interview took place.

But the article from Reaganite Republican Resistance blog went into greater detail. This is a quote from two paragraphs in this expanded article:
.
Regardless, in most any nuclear or conventional scenario, all-out war looks like a real bad bet for Tehran… they have almost no chance of defeating Israel in an expanded conflict, if the Iranians would even fight hard for the widely-reviled regime. And unlike recent tepid IDF campaigns -i.e. Lebanon 2006- Israel would fight this one to win… and win BIG. Tehran would have to be nuts to want this fight… but unfortunately for all of us, they are just that.
.
Consider that Israel has 200+ atomic devices: while Iran may have one soon, it would not be weaponized just yet… so no way to deliver it to Israeli territory. Even if Iran bought miniaturized nuclear devices from another rogue state, then pulled-off some sort of small-scale “suitcase” nuke smuggled in by terrorists… Israel is capable of delivering a devastating retaliation equal to 2,000 Hiroshimas, turning all of Iran into a glass-floored, self-lit parking lot. While it’s commonly noted that the Persian state is much larger in area than Israel, the majority of Iran’s industry is concentrated -in Tehran- and located in a geographic bowl… almost perfectly situated to suffer maximum damage from an Israeli attack on Iran. end quote.
.
Consider the recent “incident” at sea that put Israel in such a bad light as far as the propaganda goes. For more details on this, please check out my article on The Shanks Dimension (link listed below). The news of late that Israel will now station one of its submarines on patrol in the Persian Gulf. I have posted links from Global Security about Iranian and Israeli Air Force and Navy information for more detail information about their respective force structures.
