Further discussions were had last night on a possible attack by Israel on Iranian nuclear facilities. Please bear in mind that the people who control political and military power in Israel see a nuclear-armed Iran as an "armageddon scenario." They are sure that Iran will use nuiclear weapons to destroy Israel. In their minds, Iran has to be stopped from obtaining nuclear weapons at all costs!!!!!!
The USA is under intense political pressure from the very powerful American Jewish lobby. Unnoticed recently by most was shipment of conventional "bunker busters" and other advanced munitions designed for attacking such facilities to Israel. These weapons will allow Israel to carry out the attack without having to use tactical nuclear weapons.
There has also been a lot of activity between Britain and Israel as of late. I suspect that the British have also supplied Israel with some advanced weapons and unofficially given their blessings to such an attack.
How do I think that Israel will carry out the attack? They certainly will not use manned aircraft as they would have to fly long distances over hostile territory and possible have to depend on US mid air refueling capabilities.
The Israelis will launch cruise missile from submaries. Some cruise missiles wil be launched from Israel. The Israelis also have a new missile system that could be used to deliver warheads to Iran.
How will the attack be carried out? Let us look at the simple example of wounding a bear or mountain lion. The animal will become enraged and retaliate fiercely, As those of us who have lived in areas of the American west where there are lots of bears and mountain lions, one has to deliver an overwhelming blow to knock the animal down. The nuclear facilities will be attacked. Iranina militray and Revolutioinay Guards command and control facilities wil be attacked. Also oil production facilities will be attacked so as to economically cripple Iran.
The consequences of such an attack will be severe. Whether the US is activly involved or not, they will get blamed for involvement in the attack. Europe gets 25% of its oil from Iran. They are already in severe economic problems with the debt iussues. This attack will push them "over the brink." Likewise the economies of Japan and India will be badly hurt as they depend on Iranian oil.
We will see oil prices go up to between $250.00 to $400.00 per barrel. This will thrown the world into a deep recession or even depression. Gold will go up to who knows what price?
Iran will also retaliate against the US and Israel. Terrorist attacks will be stepoped up. US military assets in the Persian Gulf will be attacked. It's going to get very ugly!
