I am only commenting on this from the effect such an attack might have on PMs and am not advocating for or against such an attack.
In the past such an attack would be very PM bullish, but in today's world who knows how PMs would react. They might fall along with the stock market, which definitely would take a hit, even if only for a few days or weeks if such an attack occurred.
From some recent headlines I am starting to think this situation is reaching a point where either Israel will do something on its own (maybe with the help of the Saudis and other "friendly" Arab states, etc, but not the US) against Iran's reactors, or will just give up and accept them having nukes. Apparently, the Saudis (and some other Arab states) are really pi$$ed at the US for not going after Syria and the Iran situation the way they would like us to according to some recent articles.
In any event, I am seeing articles being floated around about how there might only be 1 month left before Iran is nuke capable, and such. Whenever I see things like that it makes me wonder if something is being planned and they are getting people "prepared" so that if it happens everyone will sort of be expecting it, like when we attacked Iraq, etc.
Personally, I am somewhat surprised Israel hasn't done anything yet. Maybe they won't get involved unless the US takes the lead? But I don't see that happening with the current administration.
Just my opinion.
