don't think that the force is large enough or strong enough to actually destroy the iranian nuclear weapon project it might cost them some damage but it would not. destroy it so it would look to cheat anything here you think that the u.s. would consider cooperating with israel in such a strike but quietly it's first of all there is no quietly in this issue because things will tend to come out sooner or later so to begin with. on the one hand i think president obama has not ruled out an american strike yet even though his military is very reluctant to get into another war in the middle east i don't think he would do it during an election year so can't that be a reason for his all to launch a strike now before there's

a new american leadership in place. there is a simpler is a fear in the united states and that is what we are going to do that an israeli attack my draw the united states into that war probably prematurely it will force the united states to get into a war because an iranian counterattack would almost unbelted lee be targeted against the united states is against israel so you know that it would be drawn this root cause i think such an action without an american consent. course agree damage to israeli relations strategic relations with the united states for an extended period of time do you think of past sanctions recently declared against iran i mean after satisfy the israeli government not to launch a strike they might satisfy it for full time being i think the general.

attitude in israel is that these sanctions are not enough and they're not going to convince iran even if they would be much or would not convince iran not to continue. to weapon project how do you measure iran's capability to launch a plan to attack iran as a cup of beauty of launching a missile attack on israel direct attack on israel. with few hundred. what would be the effect of mr sutton what is their accuracy of these missiles i don't know all. gone paul's would be worse for them to be in one hundred ninety one when we were under iraqi missile attack the mage was course and no one actually got killed but there's no guarantee that that

is not going to be to happen we had an old arrow which we didn't have then which would be able to intercept least some part of these missiles attacked and the greatest damage would be as in the case of the katyusha rocket attack the economic damage to its road because under such a pact everything comes to a standstill what about arab support for an israeli strike on iran you mentioned american involvement but surely it's also needs our persistence in the form of landing rights and even feeling assistance many arab countries are very cautious of iran. for example saudi arabia has been urging the united states for attack iran for many years well they are terrified we really are terrified but on the other hand assistance to israel is still out of their agenda in the open israel would have to fly over arab countries but it

has done so before and it can be done without their consent or with. covertly consent we could get assistance or landing rights from countries like i don't believe saudi arabia would do it but the united states my can of that. just remember that the distance from the united arab emirates to northern urine is as far as from israel maybe even longer so. this kind of landing rights would be helpful when only in case of attacking targets south on your ground and that's. called vert a might be but again it's problematic or maybe given by a judge. on the north side of the ring and border they have no good relations with israel trouble is that to get from israel to observers and you have to overfly

turkey and at the moment i don't see with the current relations between israel and turkey i don't see the turks giving an israeli i mean if we look across the border at syria why is serious so important for western nations could it be that it's the last obstacle before any invasion of iran that is tough for and why syria is important. is it important. to the west and the state i don't see any western country in the intervening in syria as they did in b.b. and yet there is so much attention and focus on syria and particularly army president bashar assad's handling of the situation so how do you explain that well . that would be expected from the west it's much closer to europe and with the

traditional relations tradition relations with countries like france. and when such atrocities take place that meant they cannot stay quiet is there a connection between what is happening in syria and what is happening in iran where there is a connection obvious connection because iran is syria's playing and the us sudra g.m. has been iran's closest alley for over two decades i mean. this is. the main route of iran into lebannon into me to the whole region into influencing israel if us or through june falls apart. iran is standing to lose a very strong alley because any government would take place to take

the government in syria with a. western ally and democracy which is not very likely all muslim muslim brothers who are sunis of were very hostile to shoot iran. any region. would be either hostile to iran or. corporately with iran that as much as the bashar assad regime has been so iran is standing to lose is the supply of weapons to the syrian opposition enough to upset the regional arms balance right now no break no what. i think saudi arabia started to started to supplying them with weapons but we're talking about like what comes so. as far as or. as long as that is what is happening i don't think this will change them in the

balance of power in the region if there are still very weak it's a possible that they can be somewhat tenuous interventions in syria and iran doesn't seem likely i don't see the european european union or nato going into syria and they don't see the european union. taking part in an attack against iran this could be nato could. try to draw all the europeans into attacking targets in iran doesn't seem very likely if talks up here thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. your work i'm. sure is that so much of that isn't even to the people at the earliest the time
