If I recall correctly, Iran was offered the fuel constantly for its plants and it was constantly not delivered forcing them to start their own enrichment program.

Your post initially made me smile, but then I realized that a lot of people really do believe what you wrote, and that is the scariest bit of all.

No, the Russians made the offer and were going to build the plants. That is true. It had zero to do with no fuel as Iran simply refused the offer out of the gate. Nice try though.

Using nukes are the only chance Israel has against Iran. And if they did that then it's good bye Israel. Iran can easily put more men in the field than the total population of Israel combined.

If Israel attacks Iran then America should refuse all aid to Israel.

Here is a low-tech craft that anybody can fly without training, that Iran produces in-house, no foreign high-tech required.

They fly under the radar. So you can't see them coming.

The are highly maneuverable, and slow.

Iran could produce millions of these craft, pilot them with kids, send them on suicide missions, and nobody could stop the invasion.

Unlike a car, tank, or army truck, these craft need no road to travel on. So, their travel path is not limited, they go anywhere, which means you can't anticipate which direction they'll be coming from.

They could approach Israel from all directions simultaneously.

They don't need an "airfield" to take off, so you can't bomb some air field in Iran to stop them from taking off.

They may look primitive and world war I ish, but they can be very effective in a guerrilla type war, of hit and run.

How would Israel defend against these craft? You can't look in all directions all the time, you can't see them on radar so you'd have to use satellite intelligence to constantly monitor the movements. On a stormy day, with lots of cloud cover, Iran could launch a sneak attack, and satellites couldn't see.

By the time Israel "hears" the noisy WWI engines coming towards the border, it's too late to scramble some military defense. Some craft will always get through. They can come like locusts, swarming over the land, and delivering payloads at literally any point in Israel they wish.

There's no effective defense against these blue planes.

So, I don't think Israel would ever attack Iran.

The only kind of war Israel wants, is one that they can run in, strike, and leave quickly, like done in Syria. But, to stir up the hornets nest in Iran, is a different matter altogether. The Iranian response will be like a plague of locusts. They have the people, and the low-tech technology to send that blue-plane plague.

Many thousands of Iranians shouted "Death to America, death to Israel"

"You want a new Middle East? We do too, but in the new Middle East ... there will be no trace of the American presence and the Zionists," Ahmadinejad told worshippers at Tehran University in an event broadcast live on state television.

"Saving the existence of the Zionist regime (Israel) is a joint commitment by most arrogant Western governments,"
