These Israeli Weapons Would Terrorize Iran in a War

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Should hostilities erupt, Iran will have to confront one of the most capable militaries in the world.
48% : The distance between Tel Aviv and Khartoum is almost 1,200 miles, even further than the thousand-mile distance between Tel Aviv and Tehran.
42% : Still, in addition to a potent threat from Israeli aircraft, Tehran also has to reckon with powerful Israeli missiles.
42% : While Iran could undoubtedly overwhelm Israeli missile defenses by firing enough rockets, the Arrow system means Tehran can't be sure how many missiles would get through, or which targets would or would not be hit.
40% : But Israel's Ra'ams are a powerful weapon that would be in the forefront of any Israeli attack on Iran.
39% : But on the other hand, it's not like Iran has much in the way of anti-submarine warfare capability, let alone the capacity to deploy it in the Eastern Mediterranean or the Red Sea, from where Israeli subs could operate close to Israeli waters while still remaining within firing range of Iran.
38% : Of course, bombing Sudan is much easier than bombing Iran, which has a fairly sophisticated air defense system.
37% : Either way, it would not take much for Tel Aviv and Tehran to engage in combat.
36% : The bigger question isn't what the F-35 can do, but rather what Iran thinks it can do.
34% : There may be a reason why Iran doesn't take Israel on head-to-head
32% : Perhaps a Hezbollah attack that draws Israeli retaliation and then Iranian intervention, or Israel and Iran clashing over Syria.
32% : Here are five Israeli weapons that should worry Iran:F-35 Stealth Aircraft
31% : Israel would also be reluctant to launch a missile barrage for fear of international backlash, unless the situation were really critical, such as Iran firing WMDs.
29% : If the U.S. and Israel can't be sure how effective the F-35 is, then neither can Iran.
