From The Wall Street Journal:The mullahs would retaliate. But things would be much worse if they had the bomb.
Whatever the outcome of Iran's presidential election tomorrow, negotiations will not soon -- if ever -- put an end to its nuclear threat. And given Iran's determination to achieve deliverable nuclear weapons, speculation about a possible Israeli attack on its nuclear program will not only persist but grow.
So what would such an attack look like? Obviously, Israel would need to consider many factors -- such as its timing and scope, Iran's increasing air defenses, the dispersion and hardening of its nuclear facilities, the potential international political costs, and Iran's "unpredictability." While not as menacingly irrational as North Korea, Iran's politico-military logic hardly compares to our NATO allies. Central to any Israeli decision is Iran's possible response.

My Comment: The present focus is on Iran's Presidential elections, but the sad fact about Iran's Presidential race is that it will have zero impact on Iran's nuclear program. The country is run by its mullahs, and they have zero interest to give up their influence, power, and agenda .... of which the development of nuclear program is a part of it.
Will Israel strike Iran .... for the moment I doubt that this happen. But as Iran continues its nuclear program and continues to support Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups in the Middle East .... I expect Israel to put all options on the table.
