Israeli strike on Iran's nuke plan 'imminent'

[Beskar]

No one has talked about invading Iran. there has been talk about attacking Iran over it's nuclear program. there is no need to invade.

IF there's a scenario where things escalate and a foreign invasion is imminent, things would go ugly. A strategic air strike on Iran's nuclear sites wouldn't be taken lightly by the Iranians as it'll be an all out war against their country. They'll retaliate, which could lead to several different scenarios. And that's why I mentioned "Basij" in my previous post.

Even if you don't volunteer, the Basij paramilitary force would crush ANY foreign boots on its soil. It's the largest paramilitary force in the world with estimated numbers upto 14 Million.

Why would anybody want to put their boot inside Iran?, they dont have to. most probably it would be (if there is any) an attack from the heavens.

I think this is a very valid assessment.
Iran having the geographical depth and surface variety, unfortunately
has a poor air force ... for a reason known only to Iran.
Israel has a better air force in the region by far and it will be a challenge for any of Israel's enemies to tackle that.

That said, missiles are a poor man's air force, and if we consider Israel's small size and an even smaller population I find it very hard to imagine how Israel could ever sustain a long scale war with Infantry and artillery dynamics ?

It will be Israel's motive to keep the theater of operation well defined and very very restricted without any spill overs.

On the other hand what Iran has to do is to inflate the whole thing as much as possible, and elongate engagement beyond aerial attack.

It is my belief that Israel will be at a loss once that happens.

what says the forum about that ?

There will be no Israeli infantry involved. I cannot see how anyone could come to that speculation.

Israel is US assets, think of it as an unsinkable US aircraft carrier in the middle east. Jews love it, US needs it. That's the politics around Israel.

There is a reason why historically Jews can't keep a state to themselves: Physically, Jews can fight nobody.

Iran was backed primarily by Russia (and China). World powers want to maintain the strategic balance in ME. That was before Iraq war, when US became too aggressive. Everything changed since the war. It's no mystery why virtually everyone was against Iraq war (before it started), because no one is so sure what's going to happen in the aftermath...

That is hilarious. Israel fought off major and minor wars against combined Arab armies. Negotiated a peace treaty with Egypt in a land for peace deal that ended with Sadat's very public assassination, I remember the news footage of that. Egypt remembered how capable the Jews were and despite Sadat's assassination, honored the peace treaty by going internal against those who would compel Egypt to violate the treaty. Peace between Egypt and Israel remain to this day.

Israel can do nothing against Iran but Iran can do.
The most wondering instant point for me is that US considered himself as the super power but bows always to israel.
Even above than 80 % of the US nationals are against israel.
Then how??

I will volunteer in Iran's Army in any case of attack from Israel retaliation should be re-capture of our land Jeruslem and Masjid Al-Aqsa the day its not far you will see Muslim flag on Jeruslem.Jews can't fight physically with Iran's 500,000 strong army will crush Israeli army in the matter of time.Iran will have the Arms help from Pakistan,China,North Korea and Russia

Pakistan should start exporting these arms to Iran Ballestic Missile,Al-Khalid and Thunders and sent the pilots to fought in this war another glorious chapter yet to be written in PAF book

Israeli Massive airpower is useless against S-300 with alot of batteries around Iran border region and stringers.

Iran would be no different then any other large army that has tried to invade and destroy Israel. So long as Israel has Gods favor any army going against it will be destroyed. History proves this to be the case. With out Gods favor Israel would never have come into existence again. Any army that has invaded is destroyed in short order.

As far as the S-300 you are right. It is a very effective air defense system. But don't believe for a sec that it can't be destroyed. Any Israeli or U.S. attack would first target these systems before hitting the primary targets. I do believe that there will be some casualties though before a path would be cleared. Momentum will be with Israel or the U.S. though since they have far superior pilot training in taking out SAM systems and pilot v pilot combat.

It would be a dream come true, nothing i would love to see more than the Basij that have shown how good they are at beating up on unarmed women being pushed into the front line to face a regular military no matter who it was.

Back on topic though, yes Israel have the legs, they have Air-air capability.

The IAF's seven, existing KC-707s are converted airliners, modified by Israeli contractors, using their own equipment and designs. They could significanty increase their air refueling capability by simply "acquiring" older 767s that are being retired by the state-owned airline, El Al, or purchasing other airframes on the global market.

The attack on Syria shows basically that if its a threat to Israel it gets taken out. Yes america will be told but i doubt if the US saying no would stop them.

Israel managed to not only take out the syrian reactor but gave the syrians half an hour warning to get personell out and got comandos in to capture Korean scientists for interogation.

So despite the errors in the article, Israel can reach, probably will make the raids, will have a high probability of sucess and though the arab press will scream for blood every Suni goverment will privately cheer them on.

where do you get your 80% figure?

So its safe to say that all global "Diverse" militaries are pushing their women in conflict zones? Problem with your type of thinking is that you cannot handle diversity when it comes to a Muslim state.

The Basij force is a "Voluntary" force. Approx 5 Million women are a part of this force and their primary objective is to enforce law in cities of Iran. In case of a national crisis, I believe a conscription would take place which is quite common in some parts of the world including Russia and China. Even then the women would only serve as a "National Guard" force and wouldn't engage the enemy upfront. Times have changed my friend so please stop stereotyping another nation's women with your ignorance.

What I don’t understand who authorize Israel to attack anyone. If they do this mistake this will defiantly bring chaos to that region. If Israel not going to discuss this with US and attack some country then I think then why US want to support Israel military wise. This is very stupid.

Read my post and think before atacking me, the women the Basij have been beating up on latley are your own, i am not condeming women of any country.
I am condeming religious thugs that seem bent on intimidation oftheir own people, thugs that prostitute the freedom promised by the revolution.

The Basij arent a military they are Ahmadinejad's Savak.

What does that have to do with anything? Iran's internal laws and regulations has nothing to do with this thread. I was talking about the Basij as a paramilitary force and the use of its personnel in a National Defence scenario.
