Target Iran - Air Strikes
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesHave you given much thought to just how the U.S. would strike Iran should the decision be made that doing so is our only option in preventing Iran from "going nuclear?" What would be the targets and what resources would be used by the U.S., Israel, or both ?
One potential military option that would be available to the United States includes the use of air strikes on Iranian weapons of mass destruction and missile facilities.
In all, there are perhaps two dozen suspected nuclear facilities in Iran. The 1000-megawatt nuclear plant Bushehr would likely be the target of such strikes. According to the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, the spent fuel from this facility would be capable of producing 50 to 75 bombs. Also, the suspected nuclear facilities at Natanz and Arak will likely be targets of an air attack.
