My Comment: I do not see such an attack happening now. There are too many variables at play right now .... the civil war in Syria, American and European hesitancy, the equipment and resources necessary for a successful military strike are lacking .... but if Iran does cross certain red lines, there is no question in my mind that Israel will prepare and position itself for war. But will they launch a military strike at that point .... your guess is as good as mine.
