Should Israel Bomb Iran?

No.

John Bolton is still a fool.

Joe Biden said nothing at all.

As long as Israel has nuclear weapons and fails to make peace with its neighbors, there will be strong incentives for Iran and the Arab states to consider having their own nuclear weapons. Israel needs to make peace with the rest of its neighbors.

It was a very different situation when Israel bombed the Iraqi nuclear research facility in 1981. There was a real potential threat to Israel, but the US had sufficient influence in the region to keep the lid on retaliation against Israel, the US, and the rest of the Western world.

This time is different. Iran's capacity for retaliation for the strike is tremendous. They can quite easily block 1/4 to 1/3 of the world's oil supply. Do you suppose we wouldn't notice that?

I don't think of Iran's leaders so much as evil as venal. Maybe there is some real concern for adhering to a "true" practice of Islam. I doubt. I think they simply need an enemy to get their own people to tolerate them, and Israel is only too happy to play that role. But whatever we make of the justice of the situation, the risk in allowing Israel to take this course would be a grave danger to the rest of the world--and ultimately accomplish nothing for Israel.

how can israel live with iran getting a nuke?
not knowing day to day when some iatola decides
to push the botton.you got to be kidding.
who can live like this?
NO ONE!there is your answer.
talk about green lights or red lights,like obama
dose six thousend miles away in the white house.

It was Iran's former nuclear negotiator and current parliament speaker Ali Larijani who stated:

"It's not logical for a country to put the fate of its nation at the disposal of another country even if it's a friend."

If the U.S. bombs Iran, success is probably assured. If Israel bombs Iran yet fails to derail their weapons program, what will that mean for the balance of power in the middle east? Or should Israel simply nuke Iran?

It's pretty hilarious if you think Israel bombing Iran is a good idea.

It's also pretty hilarious if you even support Israel OR Iran's leadership at this point. Both have committed human rights violation after violation. The United States as well for helping fund Israel. Also the US and Iran need to grow up and stop acting like bratty children and make amends. Supporting Iranian protests and freedoms, the Palestinians right to exist alongside Israel, and putting a stop to American imperialism are the only options.
