This week, Newsweek ran a basic analysis of the Israeli-Iranian balance of power. It’s an important question in the context of growing regional tensions and specific tensions between Israel and Iran.

My take: In a full scale war between the two nations, Israel would impose such punitive costs on Iran that its government would have to choose between a cease fire and regime collapse. I believe the Israelis have three key advantages that would allow them to dominate Iran in the event of a major conflict.
