Dayag, glad to hear about the new Herons.

Israel definitely has the ability to drop bombs on Iran's nuclear facilities through a variety of means. They can even land small task forces on Iranian soil. But I'm not convinced that these limited operations will eliminate the Iranian capabilities. Sure, Iran may lose some reactors and some other technology but their nuclear program will survive and will be back in action very quickly.

To eliminate it completely the US is needed to destroy the Revolutionary Guards, and that will start the process of the people of Iran toppling their Islamist government and a more moderate one put in place. The Iranians will then be given peaceful nuclear power plants for energy production, etc., and will no longer spend their limited resources to provide weapons for Hamas and Hezbullah. Only the US is capable of that, not Israel.

As for Syria, though, Israel can definitely make good on the threat to send them back to the stone age -- at least temporarily. There will be a high price to pay, though, as Hamas, Hezbullah and Syria all rain down Russian and Iranian missiles on Israeli civilians.
