What if Israel Strikes Iran from the Air?
By Ed Timperlake
With Russia and China slow-rolling any meaningful Iranian sanctions, a fundamental question being left out of the current debate about stopping Irans quest for a nuclear weapon is this: What could happen after the Israeli Air Force (IAF) takes out Iranian weapon sites?
America, working through the United Nations, has been trying to initiate sanctions to stop Irans nuclear weapon programs. Our efforts have proven to be rather ineffectual but probably delayed imports of some major state-of-the art weapons from Russia, China and North Korea.
But to Israel it must appear the world does not take very seriously two famous words - "never again!"
When the IAF attacks, Iranian leaders have promised to unleash their missile force. Some intermediate-range ballistic missiles have a high probability of getting through anti-missile defenses and hitting Israeli population centers.
The 620-mile-range Iranian Shahab-3, a derivative of the North Korean No-dong series, is a powerful and dangerous missile. Like the V-2 barrage on London during World War II, innocent people will suffer but the nation will survive, and once an intermediate-range ballistic missile inventory is depleted, that threat is over and unless replenished, it ends.
In an attack against hardened Iranian ground targets, the IAF will first have to neutralize Iranian air defenses, including Irans air force. Irans current air order of battle includes a mix of Russian, French, Chinese and U.S. design systems, though the actual number of combat-effective aircraft is a guess because of the lack of spare parts and limited insight into the training and tactics of Iranian fighter pilots. However, even older Iranian F-4s, F-14s, MiGs and Sukhois can make a nasty hash of Persian Gulf targets.
So the big unanswered question is: What do Russia, China and North Korea do to help their client? Does an IAF attack lead them to race in and provide arms to help Iran?
The great untold story of the Yom Kippur War of 1973 was President Nixon turning on the spigot of U.S. military aid to make sure Israel survived, including the stripping of U.S. squadrons of jets and sending them to Israel, almost overnight. So there is a very real potential that the Russians, Chinese and North Koreans will take a page from history and re-equip Iran.
With an IAF strike, the United States will have a huge military role independent of any involvement in the initial attack because America will immediately be blamed by Iran and also vilified in the "Arab street."
The U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor, the worlds best fighter, will be needed and can make a huge difference. Hopefully, F-22s can be immediately on station over Iraq, Afghanistan and every other high value Middle East target. Do we have enough?
Naval air power from aircraft carrier strikes groups will have their hands full protecting sea lines of communication. Mine warfare will be a huge challenge because insurance companies may shut down their tanker clients until mines are swept. Allied navies and the U.S. Navy also will have to neutralize a significant Iranian cruise missile threat, many of which were supplied by China.
Do the United States and our NATO allies have enough troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to beat back an Iranian-instigated ground attack using whatever fanatical forces they can mobilize? The number of these forces is anyones guess because Iran can pull the trigger on a lot of fanatics, including mobilizing its terrorist clients, Hezbollah and Hamas.
So the day after an IAF strike there is the potential need for enough U.S. military forces to engage the fight simultaneously both with conventional and unconventional forces. How long this will go on is a great unknown.
With the very real possibility of their citizens being killed in Iran at weapons sites, airfields and surface-to-air missile sites, Russian, Chineseand North Korean leaders and their citizens will not be happy with Israel, the United States and NATO. If any or all of those countries decide for whatever reason to overtly or covertly help Iran, events have the potential to really spin out of control.
But if those three nations do not help Iran, and Iran has its air order of battle destroyed and intermediate missiles depleted, then the world and specifically the Middle East will ultimately be much safer. And regardless of the effectiveness in stopping military weapons flowing into Iran after an IAF strike, America and Europe will still have a very significant, dedicated and smart Iranian-instigated terrorist problem.

Answer: If Israel does decide to strike Iran from the air, the will strike first, strike deep and strike hard. IF that ever happens, Iran probably won't even see it coming. Who cares what happens after that? I don't.

Whi are bigger liars:Arabs or the UN?So,it turns out that Israel did not hit e UN school in Gaza?
During the Cast Lead operation in Gaza, IDF was blamed both by hte UN and the arabs of hitting the United Nations school in Gaza which led "to the deaths of dozens of civilians who had taken refuge in the building". The incident happened quite recently,and I am sure you remember the screamin,moaning and groaning over the "poor civilians who searched for shelter in hte UN school but were killed by the ruthless Zionists".
And now al this turns out to be a LIE!
Recent reports suggest that the incident was not accurately portrayed by senior U.N. officials. John Ging, the director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Gaza, spoke to the Toronto Globe and Mail last week and agreed that No SHELL HAD ACTUALLY STRUCK THE SCHOOL BUILDING. Trying to escape the awkward questions asked by the journalist concerning how can it be that he did not know about this immediately after the hit,when it would be enough to cast a glance at the building to understand if it was hit or not,and if his today statement means that he had deliberately lied to the world community in his previous statements,Ging said he had never claimed that the school itself was hit.After that he was immeditely asked why he never made clear that the report of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs stating that Israeli fire “directly hit two UNRWA schools” was not true,on which this high-ranked professional UN liar,twistning like a sea-eel,mumbled something that he had been misinformed.
The Globe and Mail then started to ask questions about the number of the people killed in the school,as it was clear that if there was not a direct hit,the number of victims could not be as high as arab sources together with the UNRWA claimed them to be.
The Globe and Mail quoted the words of the witness,a teacher who was in the school at the time of the shelling,who reported that several people within the compound were injured, but that NONE WAS KILLED. Those killed were all outside in the street as the shells were fired, he said. Only three of those killed were students at the school, he added,while others were Hamas people.
So,who are bigger liars:UN or the Arabs?
"You are trying to potray Israel as an innocent State?"
The concept of innocence is relative.Compared to what the arabs do in gaza and other places of the Earth,Israel is as innocent as a white dove.
"The Zionists have succeeded to brainwash millions, including you".
If ,in spite of the wild and unbridled anti-Israeli propaganda,millios of people stand for Israel,then the most propbable explanation is the absolute evidence that Israel is right
"The UN school was really hit".
Yeah,sure,and you are one of the victims.The ceiling fell on your head,and since then you are a bit dumb.
To Amber B.
It´s not about who asked th questions;it´s more about who gave the answers.If John Ging, the director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in Gaza,finally said that the UN school had not been hit,then it´s clear that it had notbeen hit.He did not make this cofession because he all of a sudden becae such a fan of Israel or simply a decent person,no;he said this becuase the journalists SAW the building of the UN school with theirown eyes,and SAW that it had not been hit.
And now- just STFU.Your attempts to go on lying against the absolutely clear evidences are disgusting.
To Sandman.
I can not understand how a man can ask for sources,if he was clearly told the name of the media and the theme of the artice.
But maybe you have some problems with hte Internet?In this case,mate,here is the source you had so many problems to find.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090129.wgazaschool29/BNStory/International/
Answer: I won't label ALL Arabs as liars... BUT Hamas certainly enjoys a great game of disinformation and propaganda:
I DO have issues with the death and destruction claims... given that the IAF and IDF are so well trained, that they would have hit a school intentionally. UNLESS of course, a nice millimeter-band radar tracked a rocket being launched from the site.
Interesting, a check at the UN New site has NO news, and THIS is the new statement at the UNRWA site: "Only a week after the devastating 22-day conflict ended UNRWA opened its 221 schools in the Gaza Strip and some 200 000 Palestine refugee children went back to school. Many UNRWA schools had served as emergency shelters, sheltering up to 50,000 people at the peak of the crisis. UNRWA's Elementary School for Boys and Girls in Beit Lahia became the scene of a tragic incident on the 16th of January, when an explosive shell that landed on the third floor of the school killed two brothers aged five and seven and injured 14, including the mother of the two killed boys. On Saturday the 24th of January the students returned to the Beit Lahia School. The students were not yet expected to study, as the teachers wanted to give them a chance to play and relax after the horrifying three weeks they had lived through. The teacher's took time to listen to all the stories the children had to tell." http://www.un.org/unrwa/english.html
I would REALLY like to see a link to Director Ging's statement, or interview.
I REALLY do want to see some of these folks who complain about Israel's reaction to the rocket attacks (which are STILL occuring daily despite the "cease-fire") placed in a similar situation...
