Who will bomb Iran First?

Atomic inspectors in Vienna confirmed Monday that Iran has begun enriching uranium at a new plant carved out of a mountain, an act of defiance that comes amid rising tensions between Washington and Tehran over oil revenues and global sanctions.  In past days, Iranian officials have claimed they were about to begin operating the new plant — known as Fordo and located in a mountainous region near the holy city of Qum. It is Iran’s second major enrichment site, and it is buried deep underground. That makes it not only less vulnerable to attack but also potentially far more opaque. It remained an Iranian secret until its existence was unveiled more than two years ago.

A spokeswoman for the International Atomic Energy Agency, Gill Tudor, said Monday that the agency could confirm that Iran has begun enriching uranium at the Fordo plant.

“All nuclear material in the facility remains under the agency’s containment and surveillance,” she added in a statement. The agency’s inspectors have routinely monitored the plant’s construction since its unveiling.

I chose "Israel (with US specialty hardware)", as isn't a lot of Israel's higher end military hardware from the US?

Isn't all Israel's military hardware from the US?

I don't know about Israel attacking though, despite being a tyrannical militaristic violent nation, wouldn't attacking Iran leave them vulnerable to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip which recently started causing trouble in that area.

Oh what the hell, the US might as well, after all, we pulled our troops out, so we need some fightin' to do again, right....right?

I think it'll be the UN that steps in and starts issuing sanctions or oks a bombing run by whatever nation is set up to do it. I just hope for once it won't be the US leading the chant and going ape over it till we do something stupid like carpet bomb the palace or something

A lot is, but Israel also has a thriving native defense industry. They make their own guns (like the new Tavor assault rifle) and tanks (the Merkava series) and of course nuclear bombs. But their warplanes are US-made.

Also, Obama hates Bibi and (also because) Bibi's a fucking idiot with daddy issues. Remember back when Israel managed to invade Lebanon for a few weeks? They're perfectly capable of launching their own attack, even without Bush's utter allergy of upsetting Israel.

Just let them all bomb each other.  They're all #%@%^&^ idiots, Israel included.

Certain technologies are kept from them just for reasons like this.  During W's last year they asked for equipment to bomb Iran, and he said no.

Well of course he did. He wanted to do it first.

Sadly for him, he's still not found Iran on the map.
