Lots of talk the last few days about Iran's nuclear plant at Bushehr. To make a long story short, its getting loaded with nulcear fuel on 21 August, meaning any strike on the site after that date risks leaking radioactive material into the air.
Lot's of dramatic talk here and here.
If the Israelis were to attack the blow might not be struck from the air at all. Israel has three Dolphin Class submarines capable of launching missiles from its torpedo tubes, probably four a piece. These would be the Popeye AGM/142 Have Nap.
Not a bad bit of punch and not a bad option.
