An Israeli Counter-Nuclear Strike on Iran

Supporting the GBU-28, Israel has improved some 500 bunker busters bought from the US in February 2005 - but in the event of the GBU-28s and the bunker busters not proving immediately effective a mixture of standoff tactical nuclear precision-guided missiles will be used. In 2007 Israel decided the use of nuclear weaponry would be used against prime targets such as Natanz; Isfahan and Arak should either diplomacy or air delivered weapons fail to neutralise Iran’s nuclear ambitions – in short Israel’s second strike would come via long range cruise or ballistic nuclear weapons.

This said – if Iran ups the ante it is probable that a general war would develop throughout the Middle East – which on current military assessments Iran and its allies would lose.
