Israel sent warplanes to destroy Iraq’s main atomic reactor at Osiraq in 1981 and has not ruled out similar action to prevent Iran from getting the bomb should US-led diplomatic pressure on Tehran fail.

The greater ranges to Iran’s nuclear facilities might make cruise missiles more practical than planes, but the United States has rebuffed past Israeli requests to buy them.


Israel would like to use long range cruise missiles to strike targets in Iran rather then risk using its aircraft to target the facilities or maybe even use both together to take out more targets in one go.

Becuase America sanctioned a couple of chinese and i think russian companies for exporting missiles which could be converted to carry nucluer tech.
