Yep until the US election is done and dusted they won’t be doing too much. Really need to try and improve relations with IranIsrael can’t do it alone. Iran is a massive Country and these facilities would mostly be deep underground afaia.
Since my earlier post today, the idea that this is building up to a conflict where Western allies with Israel take out Iran’s nuclear facilities seems to have become a ‘thing’ in MSN this evening for the first time, it might be on the agenda.
I think we should be under no doubt at all, that if this conflict in Gaza and now Lebanon, is a deliberate pre-curser to the West doing this, or even just mission creep - Israel has started so lets carry on (which I suggested might be the case back last October) - then we in the UK would be heading full on into war. The mission won’t be ‘defending Israel, nor will it be helping to get rid of Hezbollah in Lebanon (that won’t get the support of the UK public) , I believe it will be attacking Iran - ‘destroying Iran’s WMDs’. Sounds familiar?
The only peaceful resolution to prevent a war with Iran now (because this is gathering its own momentum, I think), would be if Iran came back to the table and signed a new Nuclear Non-Proliferation Deal with the US. That won’t happen if Trump wins the Election because he is pro-Netanyahu and Netanyahu imo has shown no indication that he wants peace with Hezbollah or Iran - but every indication he wants them gone.
A really interesting article which will answer your question specifically and how difficult it would be
Iran vs. Israel redux: The enormous difficulties and ramifications if Israel attacks Iran's nuclear sites

I think a large part of it is because Iran’s mad leader doesn’t have access to enough nuclear warheads to obliterate the planet whereas Russia’s mad leader does, so the tightrope to walk is thinner.
Imagine a US invasion on the pretext of WMDs. Would it be over as quickly as the Iraqi invasion, or does Iran have a lot better defences than Sadam had?Israel can’t do it alone. Iran is a massive Country and these facilities would mostly be deep underground afaia.

We should agree to disagree on this. We could and should of put a no fly zone in place over Ukrainian airspace. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is far more of a danger to us than anything Iran does to Israel. The people of Ukraine need our direct help, Israel doesn’t.
I think this is precisely what Israel is trying to avoid..
What I feel really disappointing is the lack the condemnation from our government, the US and other western governments. This is surely a war crime nothing else...
I agree with most of this ( except having a full out war with Iran - I think that should be avoided if at all possible.)
