Why Israel did not Attack the Nuke, Oil Plants of Iran?

 By Mortz C. Ortigoza

 Many wondered why the Israeli Air Force (IAF) did not attack on October 19, 2024 (Philippines’ time) the almost complete Iranian nuclear facility at Isfahan and the petrochemical plants in Khargh Island, Chabahar Port, and Bandar Abbas in Iran. 

My answer: The nuke facility is 40 feet deep in the mountain of Isfahan and the IAF could carry only the U.S made Golden Horizon Ballistic Missile (for the F-15 jet), Rocks’ air-to-surface missiles carried by the F-16 jet, and the 250-pound GBU-39B bunker buster guided munitions. The lead aircraft for that extraordinary mission were squadrons of the stealth Lockheed Martin U.S made F-35 Lighting II (39 on the IAF's inventory).

IAF has 66 F-15 A/C, F-15 I, and F-15 IA, 175 F-16 C/I, 2 Boeing 707 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) modified with active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, and 7 Boeing 707 air tanker jets. Those fighter jets have been believed to refuel from the air tankers somewhere in militarily weak Syria after they attacked the radar sites of that country and Iraq and the surface to air missile (SAM) installations as first wave in the provinces of Ilam, Tehran, and Khuzestan all in Iran, ballistic and hypersonic missile sites for the second wave, and key military barracks, drones and missiles manufacturing facilities, and command structure for the third wave. That operation took almost 2,000 kilometers for that one way trip alone or more than  the 1,430 kilometers length of Laoag Ctiy to General Santos City.

Countless armed drones were used by the Israelis as deception through the 11, 000 kilometers routes from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, to Iran. All of them except one were shot down by Iranian surface to air missiles’ Russian made S-300 and homegrown Bavar 373 - Iran's version of S-300.

The nuke plant is impenetrable to all the ordnances brought by those more than 100 fighter jets when it flew at one o clock in the morning of October 19 and bombed through three waves from 2 AM to 3 AM of the same day and hit the provinces of Ilam, Tehran, and Khuzestan.

The IAF needs the lethal monstrous 5,000 – pound GBU- 72/B bunker buster bomb carried by an F-15E Strike Eagle that could penetrate and obliterate the nuclear facility 40 feet below the surface of the mountain. If the U.S sees the clear and present danger through this nuke plant against the existence of the Jewish, err, Israelites when the Iranian weaponized it then the GBU-72 will be the savior of their trusted ally against the Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East where it can turn into the ashes the Isfahan’s leviathan that became the Mother of All Insecurity among the Jews.

 They done a similar adventurism in their surgical strikes when the IAF destroyed the nuke plants of Iraq and Syria by using the vaunted F-16 -C/I -- the same aircraft the American brought (12 of 'em) at Basa Air Base, Pampanga in April this year where U.S pilots from Japan told me they were  armed with radiation homing missiles that destroy radar and surface air attack missile sites of the enemies whenever they try to open them.

 Why the IAF did not bomb to smithereens the exposed petrochemical facilities that are the main source of foreign currency of the Supreme Leader and Commander-in-Chief the top cleric Ali Hosseini Khamenei and his subalterns in Tehran where it sells the bulk of it to oil guzzling China? Incase those U.S made jets who launched those global positioning satellite (GPS) guided Golden Horizon Ballistic Missile and Rocks’ air-to-surface missiles from Iraqi’s airspace – yes Virginia they did not fly inside Iran thus all of ‘em went home unscatched -- then the people of the world would be queueing on their pump stations as oil from its present U.S $68 a barrel skyrockets to U.S$150 a barrel.

Not to mention retaliatory strikes from Iraninian missiles against oil facilities in Saudi, Kuwait, Oman and the civilian population in Israel.

Why? China, particularly, turns eventually to Russia for its oil while competing with those European countries who buy their petrol from the former. Remember how the economics' Law of Supply and Demand could affect this dilemma when that law was being taught to us in highschool?

 It took only the bravado of an incensed Philippines President Joseph Estrada who frantically ordered his executives to soldier on on their majority allies in the rubber stamp's Congress to repeal that perennial economics law as it became a nuisance to his ears everytime oil in the Middle East spikes. Anyway, that presidential blunder for me looked like a joke, hahaha!

Israel bombing the oil facilities in Khargh Island (where 90 percent of it goes for export), Chabahar Port, and Bandar Abbas? 

Susmariosep! U.S President Joe Biden opposed it vehemently because it could give the death blow to his heir apparent Kamala Harris as she locked horns with the The Donald (Donald Trump) for the forthcoming acrimononius neck and neck November 5 U.S presidential election. The Yanks would not like their gas stations bill ‘em with an inflationary price for their vehicles while they line up to cast their votes for their 47th president.
