Reski:
What do you mean by enlightened nation. If you refer to isreal as enlightened then am sure your understanding of the political situation in the middle east is shallow and unsophisticated.
For a nation that claims it is a God chosen country therefore it has the right to grab the ancestral lands of other people based on some fictious promise in a scripture is not just babaric but silly and uninformed.
Isreal is the greatest threat to world peace and as such cannot and should never be called enlightened.

Obiagelli:

Name one country Iran has invaded in the last century and I will give 30 from your enlightened Nation.

musicwriter:
In 2010, the Israeli leadership wanted an attack but the military said it did not have "operational capability," said Barak.

Above is exactly what I argued on a thread few days ago, but one guy was all over the place talking what he don't know about US-Israeli military pact.

Isael = USA. They really have no military might as exaggerated without the US. Remove US from the equation and Iran alone will give them a run for their money. Israel will NEVER attack Iran or any other nation without US approval.

Obi1kenobi:


Iran's only claim to power in the Middle East is their large population and influence on Shia Muslims and sponsoring of terrorist groups. The last war they fought, they were embarrassed by Iraq in the 80's and suffered far more casualties than Iraq. They're like the Nigeria of the Middle East. The US are not protecting Israel. If anything, they are protecting Iran under Obama, who wants peace with Iran as a legacy of his administration and he sees military options as counter-productive in thawing frosty relations and permanently stopping the nuclear program of Iran. There was a bit of a mini-scandal in the US when it was reported that Obama threatened Netanyahu to shoot Israeli planes out of the skies if they attacked Iran. Air strikes take seconds rather than years and there's nothing Iran can do if Israel bombed its nuclear sites. Its air-defence systems are archaic and sanctions over the years have left their military very poorly armed and their radar won't even detect Israeli stealth planes, talk more of attacking them.

DaBullIT:


Iran did not directly invade any country , but they sponsor terror attacks , besides that , I still maintain my stance though

even if you do not know ( and i do not blame you for that ) Iran has scuffled with other nations for land even if it did not lead to invasion the reason why Iran claims it owns Bahrain,Iraq, Kuwait , even Saudi Arabia is based on its history of being a prominent part of the Persian Empire and its seventeenth-century ,

The same reason using the century formula is why Israel invaded Gaza trip , and some other sub palestinian owned territories , besides gaan self , their rivalry started before the time of Jesus , My point remains of Iran was capable of what Israel was capable of , Iran would invade or annihilate Israel , but Israel in all her capability has been able to control herself from attacking Iran

Plain and simple

Henry120:


Your post really is poorly informed/resourced, and isn't worth responding to.

Obiagelli:

Iran will invade Israel yet you can't tell us one country Iran has invaded in the last century.
BTW is there one country that does not have land issues with neigbors

IbnSultaan:

Keep dreaming Iranian capability is well known to the west and there second option deadliest activation of deadly militia groups and hizbollah celss

Rilwayne001:
IRAN, no doubt, with her millitary capacity is unstoppable.

Obi1kenobi:

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.

Missy89:


The small size of Israel is actually its problem. Israeli planes can get to Iran but coming back and getting the job done is the problem. That is why the minister daid they lack operational capability.

Iron dome is defending against rockets not missiles. There is a huge difference. rockets dont carry laser guided techs that can evade radar and travel at fast and accurate speed so the iron dome defense system is basically useless against Iran missiles should they counter attack

DaBullIT:


Iron Dome is part of a future multi-tiered missile defense system that Israel is developing, which will also include Arrow 2, Arrow 3, Iron Beam and David's Sling but that's not the funniest part, the funniest part is that Iron dome received mysterious update a few days ago , don't fwul yourself

DONBROTHER1:
for those of u saying that without the US backing the israeli can't face iran, i beg u that u go and read about the israel 6 days war with egypt, syria and jordan and how they are defeated by israel under six days.

Obi1kenobi:
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.

Missy89:


They all sound great.

Have you ever heard of any missile defense system that can totally stop an all out missile attack?

docadams:


Don't write from your dream. You need to read an unbiased account of the war so you can have an unbiased opinion. At a point, Isreal was at the edge of defeat before the Yankees stepped in.

Obi1kenobi:

What is "suicidal" about Israel attacking Iran? An invasion of Iran is suicidal and impossible, because Iran is a far bigger country than Israel. Surgical air strikes are very feasible and there's not a damn thing Iran would be able to do about it. What will make Tel Aviv to be "gone". I've got no love for Israel, but they have by far the greatest military in the Middle East.

DaBullIT:


There was no missile or rocket defense system before dome

My point is technology advances , and do not forget that while the dome may not intercept missiles 100% it is automatic, doesn't need any form of human presence whereas , Iran has no such defense system, every citizen is a sitting duck, and i am sure if Israel were to fire, it'll target densely populated areas / strategic government buildings , eventually Iran will run out of Suicidal pilots and Isreal will strike a deadly blow on civilians which will lead to surrender or a peace talk

Henry120:


Israel had overwhelming U.S support both in the Six Day and Yum kippur war.

If you don't understand people , don't quote them ok ??

What my comment basically means that despite having power , technology , nuclear weapons , and gadgets out of this world , Israel chose not to go into war or attack Iran

Whereas , the iranian president said on live tv that he wants to and he will annihilate Israel , If Iran had nuclear weapons they wouldn't be able to control themselves and No Israel did not just claim God's chosen, they are god's chosen and they did not steal anybody's ancestral land they fought for it , they earned it

fineguy11:
thats past glory bro...its a different ball game entirely with iran...why do u think major world powers rushed to sign a nuclear agreement with iran?4 months ago isreal planes struck 6 hezbollah fighters plus an iranian General at the Golan heights.iranian proxy(Hezbollah )responded attacking an isreal military convoy killing 2 soldiers and injurying some unspecified number..the truth is,isreal is surrounded by enemies.the only option is for them to try and make peace..

Vicotex:
You don't understand what he's saying.
Let me explain.

He said if Iran had the military capability israel has, they would have invaded/anihilate Israel.
But israel with their military capabilities still kept their cool
