CSIS: Israel Could Strike Iran with Missiles

By Jeffrey Goldberg

It would, apparently, avoid all the hassle with overflights and refueling. Another interesting finding from the study: fallout from striking Bushehr would hit the Emirates. From the report:

• Attacking the Bushehr Nuclear Reactor would release contamination in the form of radionuclides into the air.
• Most definitely Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE will be heavily affected by the radionuclides.
• Any strike on the Bushehr Nuclear Reactor will cause the immediate death of thousands of people living in or adjacent to the site, and thousands of subsequent cancer deaths or even up to hundreds of thousands depending on the population density along the contamination plume.
