WASHINGTON – Israel’s recent acquisition of a fourth electric-powered submarine from Germany suggests that those vessels, which are capable of firing a nuclear-tipped missile, will play a role in any attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, regional experts explain in a report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

Other scenarios to attack Iran’s nuclear sites appear to be risky at best and logistically complex with the high prospect of being detected before any such mission could be completed. Israel’s submarines with nuclear-tipped missiles could be used in combination with nuclear-tipped Jericho II missiles that can be launched from Israel itself.
The submarines could venture into the northern Arabian Sea and launch missiles at the hard-to-reach facilities that may be embedded in mountains.
While Israel has some so-called U.S. bunker buster bombs that may be able to penetrate some of these difficult locations, it not only would require high-flying aircraft needing to be refueled a number of times going to the target and returning but there remain issues on what routes the bombers would take.
In addition, some of the Iranian nuclear facilities may be so hardened to the point that even these bunker-busters may not be sufficient. In that case, sources believe that Israel could equip its nuclear-tipped missiles both on the submarines and the Jericho II’s with tactical nuclear weapons to achieve the destruction of the targeted sites.
Sources say that such targeting would not include every nuclear facility but only those which Israel has determined are most critical for the Iranian manufacture of nuclear weapons.
