Blogger comment from GLP:
You don't attack a nuclear power with conventional weapons, so...

100% chance that Israeli missiles will have nuclear warheads.

At least some those missiles will be nuclear bunker busters, too.

It will definitely be interesting to see:

a) how Israelis will commence their attack, and whether they will launch just a few missiles first, or the full salvo from the start, and

b) how Iranians will use those couple of minutes they will have left to react when the first Israeli plane leaves Israeli air space

It seems that Israel's plan is to have its planes fly over Iraq, and get as close to Iran as possible before launching their (hypersonic) nukes, hoping (as morons they are) that Iranians will be confused for just long enough (two minutes? one minute? less than a minute?) for those Israeli nukes to reach Iranian hypersonic (nuclear) missile sites.

Once those Iranian (nuclear) missile sites are gone, Israel will be free to carve up Iran as it pleases, and start launching nuclear bunker busters (both in the form of missiles and bombs) in the second phase of the campaign.

As far as I can see, this is planned to be Israeli (decapitating) first (nuclear) strike against Iran... and The Grand Rehearsal for U.S. (decapitating) first (nuclear) strike against Russia... which should follow mere days later.

It's all fine and dandy (for both Israel and U.S.), but only if both Iran and Russia act as complete morons, and don't:

a) launch nukes at both Israel and all the U.S. bases in the region, immediately after they see the very first Israeli plane leaving Israeli air space, moving toward Iran (in the case of Iran), and

b) launch nukes at all the U.S. installations in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Baltic States (at the very least) the moment Iran launches its nukes (in the case of Russia)
