#1 Some Pundits believe the Israeli air strike was an indirect warning to Iran that something bigger + badder is coming???

To wit,

* TOPIX > ISRAEL KEEPS SILENT ON SUDAN AIR STRIKE.

* SAME > IRAN EXPANDS CENTRAL ASIAN ECONOMIC TIES TO COUNTER [new harder UN]SANCTIONS.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IFF OBAMA WINS SECOND TERM, ISRAEL JANUARY ATTACK ON IRAN LOOMS LARGE -FORBES.

* SAME > OBAMA AND ROMNEY: WAR NO MATTER WHOM WINS THE ELECTION.

versus

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IN PAKISTAN, OBAMA AND ROMNEY SEEN EQUALLY AS BAD OPTIONS.

* SAME > OBAMA TRUMPS ROMNEY IN THIRD PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: BOTH AGREE THAT DRONE STRIKES ON PAKISTAN SHOULD CONTINUE.

#2 ALso bear in mind that Sudan-based SHAHAAB-3's can be used to support strikes agz both Israel as well as USDOD-Navy, Allied targets in the Persian Gulf + Sea of Oman + Arabian Gulf/Sea.

I see nothing to indicate that Iran has changed its strategy to isolate US Navy CVBGS + Gator Amphibs + Allied to outside the Persian Gulf AMAP ALAP AFAP where they can be targeted and attacked by Iranian LRBMS, Air, etc. [Pakistan LRBMS?] while minimizing any need for Iran to detonate Nukes-WMDS on its own soil to defeat an anti-NucProg US-led ground invasion.
