Rafsanjani, not ledeen said below. So does israel have a right to preempt if they believe this threat? If so, at what point? Perhaps inspectors, blue hats and another american force of 200K for iran to back them up at US taxpayer expense? Self defense is not only after the fact. If someone points a gun at you, and you can draw fast, then draw.

2) The mullahs are determined to obliterate Israel. Former President (and actual strongman) Hashemi Rafsanjani gave a speech many months ago in which he said that the moment Iran obtained nuclear bombs, they would be used to destroy Israel. He added that even if Israel responded in kind, and wiped out Iran in its entirety, it would still be an enormous net gain for Islam: Nearly half the Jews in the world would be killed, but only a small percentage of the world's Muslims would die in a nuclear exchange.
