Bury the entrances.

Knock out electric power on the surface

Wait a couple weeks for the power to be restored.

Repeat as necessary

#4 Can't repeat as necessary. Israel gets one shot at this. They might be able to take their one shot over a couple days, but after that the doors will be closed.

The map Water Modem puts up has issues. It's not clear that Erdogan and the Turks will permit overflights, and the Turks have a half-way decent air force (we helped train them). Jordan can at least track Israeli flights even if they know better than to put planes in the air.

But Israel has tricks besides (or along with) air strikes. They have some decent drones. They have Dolphin-class subs in the Arabian Sea (supposedly) that are supposedly armed with missiles that supposedly can reach deep into Iran. Israel further has demonstrated an ability and will to insert field agents and special force teams into Muslim countries to do all sorts of stuff.

#5 I get a bad, bad feeling that our leaders are a bunch of Neville Chamberlains...asleep at the switch and there's about to be a train wreck.

#6 Neville Chamberlain is the BEST we can hope for. They will likely fail to attain even that meager standard. It is nearly a slander to poor Neville.

#9 If Israel only gets one chance then they should bury the entrances and take out EVERY power plant in the country. Whack that single gasoline refinery the Iranians have as well.

#10 Set the refineries and LNG plants ablaze. That will crater their economy.

#11 Eh? What a great plan!
'Encourage' Iran to put all of it's fissionable materials, and devices to make same, together in a common underground facility.

Didn't we see here that Israel was 'given' some of those 20,000lb Bronco Billy Belt Busters a little while back? Who's gonna bet the Saudi's have some too?

#12 Look this is simple. Either it is important or not. If it is, then Israel says, we are about to nuke Iran into the stone age, and anyone who doesn't agree might just get some too.

Be bold and issue the ultimatum.

Then either you get what you want, or you don't.

If there is one country on Earth ready to go old testament on someone it would be those Israelis.
