Iran's warning for Israel: Your nuclear sites are within our missile range
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's military chief is warning Israel that its nuclear facilities are within the range of Iranian missiles.

The warning from Revolutionary Guards commander Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari is the latest message from Iran that it will strike back if attacked.

Israel and the United States suspect Iran's nuclear program is a cover for weapons production and say they would not accept a nuclear-armed Iran.

So I guess Israel will not take military actions against Iran. :shrug:

1. If Israel was going to do it they would have already
They can't take the risk now that the USA has real Leadership. I believe it would be the death knell of Israel if they were to kill thousands of Iranians on faulty intelligence. The USA would no longer support them in the manner we currently do and the Arab countries would quickly take advantage of that. Israel has to realize they are probably the most hated nation on earth at this moment in time.

2. If Israel were to do anything
it wouldn't kill thousands of Iranians, it would launch airstrikes on the nuclear facilities in Iran.

3. If only they knew...
If Israel actually accepts that position, they would be doing more to repair their relations with the rest of the world. Unfortunately, they feel all scorn is misplaced scorn; all the while, holding their breath, waiting for the rest of the world to start rotating around Jerusalem.
