There may be a price to pay but you can be sure the Saudis will be relieved that Israel has removed the nuclear threat for now
My concern with parsing the timeline for a strike down to weeks prior to possessing a nuke is that they were wrong and it was actually a few weeks ago and now Iran has a nuke in the basement.

Most certainly not an ambition of the current Iranian leadership.

About the only thing the strikes on Iran will guarantee is that they will now be going all out to manufacture a nuclear weapon.

No! They will try to go all out to manufacture a nuclear weapon. Their progress will be monitored and then again destroyed by Israel.

I don't think that's an F-15I. Looks like a single seat F-15C. Interesting that it has an air-to-surface capability.

You're right - it is a F-15A or F-15C - IDF has F-15A-D all upgraded to allow air to ground know as Baz (Falcon). I have amended my caption.

All F-15C’s have a limited A/G capability, the Israeli “Baz” have a slightly expanded A/G ability due to local upgrades.
Nowhere near F-15E abilities, but a bit more than USAF F-15C (hardly ever used) are capable of.

Strikes me, that if the only response you can muster to sucessful attacks on multiple military installations, is to dump some ordinance on a major civilian centre, you're stuck neatly behind the 8 ball. One could make a similar observation about Russia's response to the recent Ukranian raids.

Yes. Reminiscent of a deranged and desperate Hitler's use of the V-weapons on London.
