An interesting question is, will Israel attack Iran? Iran has promised that if Israel attempts another ‘Osirak’, they will use their Shahab 3’s in turn to destroy Israel’s nuclear production plant.

The US is too embroiled in Iraq to begin any sort of military actions against Iran, so that leaves it to Israel to go it alone. But on this problem, they don’t have as good intel on the Iranian plant as they did Iraq’s Osirak. So that would require a massive air attack of some kind, which would most definitely lead to all-out war.

Sanctions, will probably not be effective, and sitting on one’s hands is out of the question.

And to tie it into this thread, the Arrow is not mature enough yet to be combat-tested.
