Regarding these posts and concerns about triangulation between Israel, Iran, and Syria - Israel attacked Iraq in 1981 when Saddam was our ally. (The French supplied the reactor. Interestingly, Israel succeeded where Iran was not able to destroy the reactor under construction. - Operation Opera, or Babylon) Doubt Israel is too worried about a similar action against Iranian nuclear targets. In a way it makes them our crazy cousin who does these things and then US would have to smooth feathers, or better yet, Maintain Order. Just another proxy war. Some early morning speculating but our crazy cousin is plenty capable of (apparent) unilateral action in the region.
