Will Israel attack Iran? Should Iran attack Israel in response?

Question

According to news reports, Israel is trying to secure rights to flyover Arab nations when she attacks Iran. Israel claims that her attack is simply to defend herself against Iran's nukes.

Now Israel owns 200 nukes that America paid for. Shouldn't Iran be allowed to flyover these same Arab states for her defense.
======================================
Note: The Israeli apologists will deny Israel owns nukes so of course they refuse to prove their contention and will instead
they will personally attack me.

Answer 1

Yes, Iran should have the right too.
But you know its always like this, double standards, specially when it comes to Muslims.
Just look at the nuclear power case, when it comes to israel there is no problem for the world if Israel has neuclear power but Iran should not have neuclear power because if so then world is in danger, irrespective of the fact the only atom bomb used in the history of this world was used by America, so if somebody should not have neuclear power, it should be US on the top of the list not the muslims countries, who want to have this power to defend themselves, because they know if they dont do so they will be like Afghanistan or Iraq soon.
well its all because of media, whatever media says people believe, and the media is being used badly against Muslims to portray them wrong in each and every field, and to tell the world that only way to make this world worth living is to get rid of Muslims.

Answer 2

The only proven defense against a nuclear first strike is the capacity for a nuclear second strike. Mutual assured destruction has historically been an effective means for deterrence.

Israel probably has nukes. There is considerable evidence of this since the 1980's.

Iran will probably develop nukes of their own despite all the sanctions, and diplomatic hand-wringing by the U.S. and Western nations.

If Israel bombs Iran, before they develop nukes, it would be difficult to predict the result on Middle-East stability. Certainly, such attacks would further radicalize Iran at a time when Islamic radicalism is perceived as unpopular in Iran, and at a crucial stage when the U.S. would need to deal with a moderate Iran as Iraq further implodes. On balance, it would not seem to be advantageous to the U.S. for Israel to launch a pre-emptive strike.
Granting them flyover rights would leave U.S. fingerprints on an operation that it would be to the Americans' advantage to distance themselves from.

Bombing without good human intelligence is also fraught with peril. Unless you know all the targets with absolute certainty, and can assure that they will all be destroyed, any airstrike that is not perfectly executed will lead to disastrous consequences.

Answer 3

The Israeli apologists will do and say anything to deflect any criticism of Israel, they can try to twist the conversation by stroking everyone's fears of terrorism and talk about the mad, bloody thirsty Muslims out to get Israel, but if that meets a logical and coherent response then they will resort to the good old "anti-semitism" accusation. There can be no logic when it comes to talking about Israel with some people.
Anyway, i don't see why some people here doubt that Israel would strike at Iran, it hit Iraqi nuclear fracilities in 1980. While i am not a fan of Iran, its regime or crazy religious leaders, i fail to see how such a strike will further US interests, bearing in mind that Israel will not attack without US permission and acknowledgment.
I don't know, maybe knocking out Iranian nuclear capabilities would be a good thing in the long term since we don't know who will come to power there one day, but what angers me is why does Israel think it has the right to do so. Israel should definately not think that it is on some moral high ground, because that would be laughable. I know that in the USA we have been force fed propaganda about Israel that we no longer see a difference between Israel and any of our 50 states, but the truth is far from that.
In any case, unless Iran explodes its bomb very soon, i believe that a confrontation with the USA, or its proxy, Israel, is inevitable.

Answer 4

Iran has no nukes and they probably don't want to build any...Of course when both US and Israel say that a military action against Iran is a possibility and seeing what happened to Iraq and North Korea,no one could blame Iran for wanting nukes...Iran too has the right to defend itself and defend its citizens against any aggression...
Anyway,if Israel attack Iran,I expect a really strong response from Iran...Iran,will defend itself at all cost and knowing who is supporting it I don't see a victory for Israel,not even if US helps...

Answer 5

I haven't heard anything about Israel I've heard about the good ole USA though Aircraft carriers have been rushed to the Persian Gulf with jets ready to strike Iran on Bush's order It couldhappen at any time The USA will be starting this war with Iran not Israel If Israel does go in she will face every arab nation in the middle east & the US will have to follow Thanks for listening

Answer 6

No personal attack here ...

Yes Israel has nukes. Who said Iran CAN'T get the same airspace permissions? Is there a reason you seem to favor Iran over Israel?

Answer 7

Iran should take pre emptive strikes against the Israelis and use the Israeli bombs to destroy the state of israel by blowing them up before they have a chance to be launched. Why does the USA not require Israelis to submit to the same standards as Iran?
USA and Israel fear simple even handed justice.

Justice for the false state of Israel, armed to the teeth by the USA. USA taxpayers bought the Israeli bombs and the planes to deliver death. USA funds the Israeli terror machine every day.

Answer 8

What's your problem with Israel? You seem to be pro-Iran.
Iran will fly over Israel or any other state, reqardless of whether
they have permission or not.

I don't like the idea that, just because I let my dog into the
neighbor's yard, that my neighbor's dog should be allowed
to roam my yard. There's a 'Beware of the Dog' sign on
my neighbor's doghouse...he is chained behind a fence.

Answer 9

they could possibly do. but those actions wont do any good. so, even itz not likely to say,they should think of peace. and look at your involved countries, israel-one of the biblical places and iran-historical and where civilizations came from...should they have conflicts? if they do and continue fighting, the ending would be: THEY ARE BOTH LOSERS WITH BILLIONS OF PROPERTIES DAMAGED AND LIVES SACRIFICED!!!

Answer 10

No.Israel is too smart for that, they probably use US to attack Iran.
