The first stage of this arms race occurred with the releasing of Israel's nuclear secrets by the US Government last month, now that everyone knows Israel has nuclear weapons, and the agreement with Iran is about to occur, it's only a matter of time before other nations start trying to develop their own nuclear weapons. The President, before he took office wanted to reduce nuclear weapons in the world, and near the conclusion of his administration, the opposite is happening.

The closer Iran is to creating a nuke, the closer it is to when Israel will stop them. Once that begins, other nations will back off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We learned in the last couple of days, the centrifuges are buried deep underground and safe from a missile strike. I guess Israel could bring the mountain down on top of the facility, but how much power would that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can neutralize Iran with a nuclear first strike, it may get them the time they need to get their special forces into Iran and take over their nuclear weapons development sites. We know they have insiders working in the facilities now, so they may be able to send tactical teams to the nuclear sites and will be let in through the back door by their insiders.

Guest shiloh357 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If Israel did a nuclear first strike on Iran, Europe and the US and other nations would unleash hell on Israel. I think it would be a huge mistake for Israel to do that. Israel has one of the most advanced anti-missile systems in the world, known as "Arrow II" and it is capable of taking out nuke headed Israel's way long before it enters Israel's air space. Israel also as the latest surface to air laser systems as well, also able to take out incoming missiles. I think Israel is safe from a nuke attack by Iran. It is possible that Iran is working on having more than one missile in its arsenal and one or two might be headed for the US if we don't take out their facilities one way or the other. It seems to me that any airstrike on their facilities would have to be prefaced by strikes on their radar and anti-aircraft surface to air capabilities and command and control. Make them deaf, dumb and blind before sending in low or high level bombers deep inside Iran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next US President will be unable to do anything retaliatory against Iran, unless it attacks Israel first, since the US agreed to let Iran develop nuclear weapons. The current President has hogtied who knows how many succeeding administrations with his foreign policy decisions. It will be years before we fully understand the extent of the damage done to the US under the Obama administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shiloh357 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Justin, I don't think the US is willing for Iran to have Nuke. It's just this president and his administration that's willing. But not the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they are killing each other and not us at the present. If there is a race, it will be a short one for the Saudi's can just buy them off the shelf from Pakistan.
