13. Won't happen.
Iran will respond to any strike on Natanz with retaliatory strikes on Israels nuclear facilities, U.S. carriers in the Gulf, U.S. Naval bases in the Gulf, possibly major Saudi refineries, and can probably take out quite a bit. These would be mission critical losses for the U.S.

Plus with nukes used in Iran, I'd expect Syria to get involved, with them attacking the same targets, including the use of WMDs against Israeli civilian populations.

And that would mean WWIII, and anything could happen- NK invading SK, China attack Taiwan, civilian uprisings in the U.S., etc.

So I take all this Iran talk as just a distraction.
