[July 2010] An Israeli strike against Iran? Western 'analysts' fail to factor strategy into the equation
A realistic gaming of the strategic situation, however, would indicate that there is the chance that Iran could initiate a nuclear first strike against Israel, provided that such an action is preceded and accompanied by a general escalation and a concerted assault with missiles and surrogate ground force action (Hizbullah and possibly Syria).
