Now why didn't Israel think of that?

[geetrue]

Israel already knows this is true ... so is this saber rattling?

I can see this happening and the missiles landing in Jordan

Iran Warning: Israel's Nuclear Sites Within Reach By VOA News
25 July 2009

Iran's Revolutionary Guards corps is warning it will respond to any attack by Israel with a strike on nuclear sites in the Jewish state.

Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammad Ali Jafari told state-run media Saturday that Iran's missiles are now capable of hitting targets in Israel, and that any Israeli attack would be met with a "firm and precise" response.

Israel sees Iran as a threat because of its nuclear program, and has been widely reported to be considering a pre-emptive strike. Like the United States, Britain and other Western countries, Israel does not believe Iran's claims that its program is for peaceful purposes.
