Apparently Iran has a bunch pointed at Israel as well as all the US Military sites within reach. This comes from someone who has just recently been to Iran....

i think it will be much more difficult this time to attack the nucleur sites. Iran learned the lesson of Iraq... i'm sure their facilities are well hidden\undergorund. and i guess they have several of them, not just one.
I would not underestimate the intelligence services. I am pretty sure that Mossad and the CIA know exactly where these facillities are located. Especialley because nuclear facillities are rather huge and difficult to hide. And at least USA has the tactical weapons to destroy deep underground bases.

It is as simple as I described it!!!
No sovereign state will attack Israel because Israel has nuclear weapons. Iran may have missiles capable of striking Israel (and the Arrow missile defence system is about as shit at defending against ballistic missiles as the American PAC-3 system) but that would be suicide. The airforce is irrelevent as anti-aircraft defences are far more advanced than missile defence meaning the Iranian airforce would have little chance of success. But its all irrelevent. Any state that attacked Israel would incur a full Israeli responce. This response would most likely be conventional rather than nuclear but that makes no difference to the outcome - the complete destruction of whatever regime it was that attacked Israel
