This "defense system" agreement which will protect Israel is another indication that there will be no attack upon Iran. The defense system will look good on paper but will not be very helpful in case of attack. First of all, Iran will not make a first strike on Israel via missiles. How stupid do you think they are? This is not Irans style and never has been. If Iran had nukes, which they don`t, and they wanted to attack Israel with them, which they don`t, they wouldn`t make a missile attack. They would bury the nuke deep in the hold of a ship stopping in Tel Aviv, or they would sneak it on to a regularly scheduled passenger airliner landing at BG airport. This is Irans style and the arrow would never know what hit it. Israels best "defense" against WMD attack is their close proximity to Islamic nations. As greater Israel expands into their territories, this prohibition grows less problematic. Peace with the Palestinians will reduce the threat of attack a great deal.
