Reski: You mean like their humiliation of other Arab countries in the 6-day War or Yom Kippur War and the UN had to beg Israel to return the lands it conquered? Hezbollah are guerilla terrorists. Israel's failures against them are no reflection of weakness. It's like claiming the US or the Soviets were weak because they failed in Vietnam and Afghanistan. 5 Likes |

All of you that keep mentioning Hezbollah are clutching at straws. A war against evasive guerillas and terrorists and a war against a conventional army are very different. Russia could easily crush a big country like Ukraine but it would struggle against rebels in Chechnya. The strategies are just very different. 7 Likes |

I don't think Israel really want to attack Iran. I think it is all posturing to extract more concession from the USA and to force the Americans to put more pressure on the Iranians. Why do i say this? The manner they have been shouting all over the place about attacking Iran is suspicious. the Israelis do not normally announce an attack before it happen. They didn't shout at the rooftop before they attacked Iraq nuclear reactor, the same with their attack on Syria. so why all this propaganda now? I think they realise that Iran is militarily stronger than the countries they have attacked in the past and are scared of the consequences otherwise, judging by past record, the Israelis do not resort to high drama before launching attack. it does not even make military sense to announce before attack, because the element of surprise, which is very important is lost thereby. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: So Lets see. According to you logic, fighting rebels is more difficult (True). So that means should Israel attack Iran, and Iran Unleash her proxies in Israel's periphery,(evasive guerrillas) Israel will struggle or loose yet again. Correct? Israel's military doctrine is preemptive. What are they waiting for since 2002 when Iran's program has been public knowledge? They didn't wait this long to take out Syria and Iraq when they had reactors. Bibi has been showing power points and placards to UN since 1422 3 Likes |

Missy89:Which operational facts? Do you think any of what we're blabbering about here is "operational fact"? Are any of us here generals or intelligence chiefs or defence ministers in Israel or Iran? Iran is like Iraq. They are 2 stalemated regional powers who checkmated each others influence. Iraq was actually a better armed country while Iran had a larger army. Iran's influence has only risen since the US invasion of Iraq created a power vaccum that Iran is filling. 4 Likes |

Missy89:The problem is they can'tget those guerillas into Israeli territory. All they can do is send more rockets to Hamas and Hezbollah, which is just a minor irritant to Israel, rather than a major security threat which Israel sometimes overreacts to. Israel has brazenly murdered several Iranian nuclear scientists and Iran have done little other than keep sending rockets. 2 Likes |

Obi1kenobi: You dont need to be a general to know what you are talking about. What stealthy planes do you think Israel will bomb The facilities with by the way? and how will they get back to their base? where will they refuel? which countries in between will give them the airspace? How will Iran react? Do you really need to be a general to answer those questions? or do you think generals are magicians?

IbnSultaan: There are areas were Nigeria can corporate with Iran, Avionics is surely not one of them, neither is drone tech. Drone tech is something we can collaborate with the South-Africans on. However in the area of Short-range air defence systems, the Iranians have developed some pretty impressive tech/guns. The Iranian Mesbah-1 Air-defence cannon is the first system that comes to mind. |

Missy89: Which guerillas are there? They were stored in a fridge, abi? Now you're spinning fantasy tales. What were the frozen trojans doing when Israel went on an or.gy of assasinations of Iranian nuclear scientists? And why the hell would Iran send its crude missiles into a country with a tripod air, submarine and land-based delivery of nuclear warheads and advanced guided conventional missiles of its own. I really don't think many of you are thinking this through. There are diplomatic/political reasons for Israel not bombing Iran - especially with Israels allies prevailing on Israel and attempting to avoid another Iraq and more Middle East crises. It has nothing - absolutely nothing - to do with Israel's incapability. It's very hip for everyone to hate Israel, but I wouldn,'t delude myself into underestimating their considerable capabilities. 4 Likes |

Missy89:Israel can bomb Libya further away, but you think the logistics of bombing Iran are insurmountable? What do you think is the range of Israeli/American jets? Is it China or Australia or Canada that they're going to bomb? I'm no general. Everything we're saying here is empty noise based on our perception. And my perception of the strength of Israel and Iran is clearly different to yours. 5 Likes |
