It took Iran about 5 years to build its present nuclear infrastructure. It learned a lot in so doing.
To rebuild it would take less time.
So even if we assume that an Israeli attack would destroy 100% of Iran`s infrastructure (highly unlikely, given that Natanz is protected by 23 metres of hardened concrete), it would only buy it, say, 4 years before Iran had entirely rebuilt it.
That`s a best-case scenario.
Israel then has to consider the ferocious cost to itself of the Iranian response, and balance the two. |
