Why. does Israel assume it can’t be destroyed?

Iran is not Gaza.

There is no doubt Iran has been enriching uranium beyond that of any peaceful use. That came out at the UN Security Council meeting. The IAEA has been diligently following Iran’s progression. Why does Israel believe bombing is going to yield the desired outcome?

Attempting to bomb Iran’s nuclear tendencies into oblivion will result in only one thing; Iran’s determination to have nuclear military capacity. War will not bring Iran from the breech, it will force the country into nuclear military capacity. With war raging there is absolutely no reason to stop the progression forward into nuclear armament. 

The strategy Trump is proposing with Israel is based in ego and not military capacity. The foolishness being proposed as if it was at all possible will not result in a failed state in Iran, but, Israel could be destroyed. The land mass of the two countries alone dictates a far different outcome than what is being envisioned. Israel cannot sustain major assaults on its land for any reasonable period.

Netanyahu sees this as an opportunity to end Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Iran is a sovereign power with capacity beyond what Israel estimates. How many scientists did Israel kill? Yet, the enrichment went forward. Israel forgets the Iran that was before the fall of the Shah. Those people and their intellectual culture still persists. The Iranian protesters are more successful than Israel will ever be.

There is no doubt Iran’s nuclear capacity has to be stopped. But, war? Bombing? The global community needs to take a hard line against such a strategy before it is too late.
