| #9 Israel has also sold large ammounts of military equipment to Saudi Arabia. Recent reports claim that Israeli military aircraft have been spotted on Saudi airfields. Saudi officials have denied reports that Saudi Arabia would allow Isreal to use Saudi air space to attack Iran. But I think Iran would love an excuse to shut down Saudi oilfields. Which would also greatly benefit Russia. In the event of an Israeli attack on Iran, the U.S would have no choice but to at least protect Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countrys in the region, which Iran has threatened to attack. |

| #8 Honestly, the warning shot should be for Saudia, Egypt etc. Nuke Iran out of existence provides a much more vivid example of what can happen to others. |

| #7 Do the words "nuclear" and "warning shot" really go together?? It's kinda like "FBI" and "organized crime" ... oh yeah sure - we're all just one big happy family :-) |

| #6 Negotiation from a position of weakness never works. |

| #5 Does Israel need Indian nukes? Conventional wisdom is that they have their own despite never admitting this? Obama believes in American decline, and just to make sure, he's making decline happen. That is obvious and such a good reason to vote him out of office. In another day and age, he would be impeached for high crimes and treason. Pros: Obama's historic appeasement has made a nuclear Iran inevitable. Reminds one of Neville Chamberlain's appeasement foreign policy. It was naive, spineless, and led to WWII. His signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938 clinched it for WWII. Negotiation from a position of weakness never works. |

| #4 India is the largest customer of Israeli military equipment and Israel is the second-largest military partner of India after Russia. India is Israel's largest defense market, accounting for almost fifty percent of Israeli sales. As of 2009, the military business between the two nations is worth around US$9 billion. Also military and strategic ties between the two nations extend to joint military training and space technology. It should not be too surprising if Israel and India were cooperating on nuclear weapons. I suspect it is likely that India's warships are there to receive, and maybe install and test, the military equipment Israel has been developing for them. Whether or not this includes nuclear weapons is very interesting speculation and probably a very worrying prospect for Iran. |

| #2 Or maybe they collected an Israeli nuke to test. |

| #1 So the point is India was delivering Nukes to Israel? Maybe that's a followup to the Russian's naval visit to Syria? |
