    The US has shifted a number of large air-tankers into
    the area. There is now a large build-up of US heavy
    bombers on Diego Garcia. Trump yesterday suggested
    that everyone in Tehran should evac. He also advised
    the UberTollah that we know exactly where he is at
    all times.

    These 30,000 pound deep-penetrating bombs are beyond
    what Israeli aircraft can carry. To get at a few
    under-mountain Iranian facilities it'd be necessary
    to use US planes. This would tend to drag us into
    this a bit further than desired.

    There would still be questions about whether such
    an attack ACTUALLY destroyed the nuke facilities
    without sending in people on the ground.

    IMHO, Iran has had at least a few nukes for some
    years now ... it's OLD tech. External entities have
    been banned from parts of their program. What Iran
    lacks is sure way to DELIVER the things. Israeli
    defenses are GOOD - and nukes are something you
    want to get in FOR SURE.
