Military experts, including IDF, acknowledge that even in the best scenario, it would a centralized military engagement on particular targets that would leave 80% of its "conventional" weaponry arsenal intact. Easy tension?. Do you know what happens when you have a cornered, wounded rabid dog with sharp teeth that controls the alleyway?. "I think a feeling of relief would spread across the region." Uh, no. You will have a very pissed off mutt that would bite anybody in that alleyway, and your neighbors.

For our PM Bibi to shut his big trap for a change. He can not even protect our citizens in the south. So if he thinks that attacking Iran is going to be a walk in the park, he is in for a rude awakening. Politicians are a dispacable type off people.

Quite quite mad!

"Five minutes after, contrary to what the skeptics say, I think a feeling of relief would spread across the region," he said. I disagree.

BOMB...BOMB...BOMB Iran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bibi is a 1000X better than olmert and livni, 2 cowards of the first order. However, he constantly talks a big game but shrinks as shamir's son described him, he shrinks from pressure. He runs to obama, to mofaz and rotten kadima, to now liberman so anybody but he make the decision. go to the bloody gym and take martial arts to toughen up your mind. This is ridiculous. Stop intimating threats unless you can back it up. We know that ehud barak has zero intention to attack iran and even if you want to, you cannot because you don't have innner strength. Yaalon can do it, lieberman can do it,eldad can do it, feiglin can do it, katzele can do ahronovitch can do it, I can do it, you cannot do it. You are making israel a laughing stock with your empty threats. Incidentally, you are not alone as yechaimovitch, peres, and most of the others would not attack iran.

The hard reality that Israelis need to face is that real war will be far more devastating to Israel than any politician will ever say in public. As Carlos notes above, after being attacked, Iran will be extremely angry and will have enough resources to make life for every Israelis extremely dangerous. Also, Bibi is vastly misreading the mood of the Arabs public who will see any attack on anyone by Israel as a personal danger because they could be next. Do NOT start this war unless you want to guarantee that every Israeli that stays in Israel will have a very, very had future. There will be NO GOOD OUTCOME to this war.

Kudos to Bibi for seeing the reality black on white. Better to strike Iran before they have nukes than after.

Crapy media for crApy politician

A strike on Iran is good for civilization!

Admit that you are nor capable of doing it.Talking for the past eight years has done no good to this 'civlization',either.

will never see it or hear it coming. They'll be flattened a long with their facilities.

Bibi is a dummy

Not the same thing

Are you kidding? That is one of the stupidest statements I've heard Bibi make recently. Israel is unpopular among the Arab countries and it won't become better liked after an Iran strike. Israel will suffer the consequences. What a clown!

I don't know where Israel stops,always ready to attack someone,one of these days,it will fall flat on it's face,it's about time to look back at the history of the jews who always got killed because of their leaders decisions ,please think once about making peace.

I guess YNet news has it's sources in zoo alert or something... The newsreport has it Mr. Lieberman visited Golans and warned Israel is not planning to sede Golans.

How about Sunni and Shia? Of course the elimination of the Iranian threat benefits the Sunni, Bibi speaks truth on this one.

We have a holocaust to prevent. It's that simple.

Does he have no shame?! I think not.

Even worse than Dr Strangelove because he is for real and not a Hollywood character.

Bibi Netanyahu (that wonderful man) can now expect the full support and diplomatic cover of one Mr. Mittens Romney.

When the arabs wanted you to fight Iran, that is not a good sign. Think this through. What you need is background stealth kills, not aerial bombardments. Kills the threats. And also dont be a scapegoat for Syria and the entire region, think this through, use more sanctions, use more stealth, strengthen israel economy and middle and rich class. And never forget to help the poor class. Again, if the arabs told you to attack, something is wrong.

It may be good for Arabs, but it will sure be hell to us Israelis...

Iran will be ripe for their revolution following a an attack or series of attacks. If the US got involved there would be a dismantling of the seats of government an example being the Mullahs and the Military leadership (Command and Control)

So to prevent war and Irans hegemony in the region sanctions have got to work The regime is running out of money and they are desperate to minimise the impact on ordinary Iranians whilst continuing the frenzied enrichment towards nuclear weapons It requires a final effort from India, South Korea and China to pull the plug temporarily on their oil imports rather than just trying to take advantage of the situation at the worlds expense And the irony is that it is these countries more than any others - whose economies will suffer most from a war in the region... And what is truly amazing is the way the Indian Politicians stifled the recent comment by an Iranian Naval Commander who said that...'All it needs for us to do is sink say an Indian Tanker in the Hormuz to make the world stop and think' as if India was to them some sort of 'soft touch'. Are these the sorts of 'friends' India China and South Korea want? When it comes to the dangers facing the economies of India China and South Korea in the event of a war their business communities know it, even their politicians know it....and if their economies do go into melt down it will be their leaderships who will be to blame

peacefully under jordanian rule and look where we are now
