If your nuclear program was for peacefull purposes would you need to do this?
 :headscratch:
 Or maybe its to keep the terrorists from getting at the nuke site, with their Air Force.

They seem to be acting like N Korea where they are showing an insane move to be unpredictable like the article says. All this does is keep their enemies reactionary.

Any nuclear facility is a prime target to cause massive population loss/displacement.

A bomb or aircraft into one of the containment pools would spread tons of radioactive debris. Some of the reactor containment units are of questionable strength as well. A breach of the reactor core could spread tons of highly radioactive material approaching something like Chernobyl. If they think the U.S. will bomb a operational uranium plant they are really pushing the realm of reality. A single bomb could make the area uninhabitable for miles in every direction, especially downwind.

Iran wargames look FUN!  What other army in the world has wargames with sport motorcycles, jet-skis, and sport speed boats?

If they had the state reserves practice like that where I live--reserves recruiting offices would be full and overflowing.

Then I'm sure you know Chernobyl had no containment building, and when the non-nuclear explosion happened, that is when the radioactive debris spread.  If your goal was to put as many bombs as one could manage into the containment building, and inside of the reactor vessel itself, you may get a rather catastrophic spreading of radioactive debris.  However, any conventional bombing of a nuclear facility these days, would simply be a very messy cleanup.  I would doubt though, that any area or component in the bombed facility would be usable again, at least by current standards for safety in the western world (and modern Russia).  

As you very well may know, the fuel used inside of a nuclear power plant is barely a fraction refined as the fuel used for a nuclear weapon.  Thus, no secondary nuclear explosion.  Just a very costly, potentially dangerous cleanup would be needed.  While there would certainly be issues of wider spread radiation releases for the civilian populations, it would be absolutely nowhere near in the order of Chernobyl.

War games or not Israel will still kick their teeth in whenever they want to.

And yes, Israel will be the ones to do it.

That's true of all war games.

Then why bomb it?

Becuase we just cant trust anybody anymore.

Iran Is a KNOWN hater of america and Isreal.

Isreal will not stand and watch Iran produce a nuclear ANYTHING for use as either a dirty bomb or atomic bomb.

Dirty bombs still have the ability to kill millions and Israel is surrounded by people who are trying to kill them and who are allies to Iran.

So yeah.

No.

Bomb everybody that is a credible threat to homeland security.
A country that openly hates america and threatens it.
Bomb those that are willing to use a weapon to kill innocent civilians with no tactical worth at all.
At one point you must draw a line.

Isreal is our best ally in the middle east. I think it's worth our time to help their intrests.

My question to you diehard is... Are you from the United States?
