Not to mention that by then the Iranian diplomatic ministry will have spun a good 75% of the planet against Israel.

If you're going to do the job, make sure you only have to do it once...although to be fair, with something like nuclear energy and weapons it's hard to completely kill off a program because so long as they have the knowledge they have the ability to start again from scratch.

So really it'd have to be a once a decade thing, until a way is found to neutralize the threat from Iranian nuclear weapons more permanently.

Quite true but the Israeli capability will have improved...especially if aided by US weapons advancement.

I just can't see the region ever being stable and I'm worried ten fold if it becomes the subject of a nuclear arms race.
