Afghanistan.. clear objective and exit strategy?

The Israelis all but said they we're going to destroy Iran's capacity to produce nukes last week in front of the U.N. General Assembly.
The Israelis don't bluff - they are not going to sit around and wait to be rubbed off the map.

I think striking Iran would be a lot harder than Iraq or Syria. Iran actually has the ability to retaliate via Hezbollah.

That's not to say they wouldn't do it if they really felt threatened. Israel does have a reputation to maintain.

I'm surprised they've had as much restraint as they have shown.
I would have thought they would have done it a year ago before the US elections, not knowing how a new US administration would react.

US and World opinion or not, I have a feeling they are very close to the end of their restraint.
