55% : Currently, the only hostile states likely to acquire such a capability are Iran or Syria.
42% : While Tehran lies barely within the supposed 930-mile range of an Israeli submarine deployed from their base in Haifa into the Mediterranean Sea, the missiles would have to spend over an hour overflying Syria and Iraq, posing navigational and survivability challenges.
39% : For now, there is only one intended target: Iran, a country which lies hundreds of miles away from Israel.
37% : To forestall such a strategy, Israeli has aggressively targeted missile and nuclear technology programs in Iraq, Syria and Iran with air raids, sabotage and assassination campaigns.
