Default What if Israel attacked Iran...?

It's more and more on the news. I am no expert but it does seem that Israel may be weighing more and more the option of a major airstrike. What if they did strike Iran facilities? How do you think this would affect the airline industry at home?

If Turkey attacked Syria in the rear, do you think Greece would help?

Is it true Italian tanks have 5 gears?

4 reverse.
1 forward...in case the enemy attacks from the rear.

Then the face of Big Brother faded away again and instead the three slogans of the Party stood out in bold capitals:

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH


Perhaps it might be doubleplusungood if they did not?

The cost of a barrel of oil would shoot way up certainly affecting the price of jet fuel.
