Iran is basically defenseless against Israeli fighter jets. As the latest episode proves. Now even more so. It is a virtual guarantee that Iran won't be doing anything to induce the Israelis to send fighter jets their way in the near future. After the election there's a good chance we are going to see an escalation.

If Iran is dumb enough to retaliate then the door is open for Israel to hit the other military and oil production targets.

thx for that link Talyn. I was reading on other sites something similar and it purported to quote Iran's defensive officers who were surprised Israel didn't do more. Well buckle up guys, if you provoke israel it will do more. Stop the provocations. As to the illness on Khameni and the coming power struggle, there has always been power struggles in that country, even back when it was an empire. Just like you cannot outrun your shadow, you cannot outrun your past.
