Re: Iran Israel bluffing game?

Israel isn't bluffing. They have attacked Iraq and Syria in the past in order to stop nuclear development. If a satisfactory solution is not reached, they will attack. Although getting U.S. permission for airspace is very important, there are ways around it if required. Iran, on the other hand is bluffing. They have only the ability to attack with a very small number of expensive missiles and they will face the most dominant airforce in the region. Iran is severely lacking in firepower at such a long range.
