Iran’s Nuclear Sites; Probable strategic targets for Israeli Attack

Iran has learned a lesson from Israel’s bombing of Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981 and Syria’s nuclear reactor in 2007. Over the years, Tehran has deliberately dispersed key elements of its program across the country — placing some in hardened and deeply buried facilities — to make it difficult for an attacker to eliminate the program in a single strike. Tehran is also engaged in a concerted denial and deception campaign intended to obfuscate the status and location of its nuclear sites. Iran presents a significant intelligence challenge for its adversaries. Any would-be attacker would need to possess an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the program’s layout, the tactical capability to hit a large and protected target set, and the ability to manage the consequences of an attack.

  2. To me it appears that after having received the warning letters from spiritual head of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and very true analysis from ex MOSSAD chief, Israeli PM seems to have understood the complications of this war. It looks gone in pending for the time being.

    • I think – as usual – it serves every ones purpose to sort of ‘keeping the problem dragging on’. After all, if the war would be over we would have to make peace, and that is not what these guys want.

      On the other hand there will be some guys who say ‘let’s get it over with’.

      It is a game of ‘who will loose his nerves first’.

      Dangerous games….
