Israel doesn't shout about its red lines - it just gets on with things.
Before too long Israel will knock out Iran's nuclear programme although it may need help from USA to supply refuelling aircraft for Israeli aircraft on long distance bombing missions.

But Iran is pushing ahead with its nuclear programme, inaction by the West will just encourage them, they will know that 'red-lines' mean nothing.
Ultimately I don't think that much is going to happen here, there is no appetite for military action, as never was. If Obama hadn't made his 'red-line' speech then we would of done nothing about this.
As a side note, if the West doesn't do something about Iran's nuclear programme, Israel will!

I absolutely agree with this, if they feel genuinly threatened, Tehran will be an ashtray and personally I couldn't give a ****.

A) Who would the UNSC be arming? B) This is sectarian (even though this seems to be spectacularly overlooked by almost everybody), given this, what are the implications and repercussions in the region for supporting the (AQ backed) Sunni over the (Alawite) Shia? C) With that resolved and assuming the States, France and GB gained consensus for intervention amongst themselves, how would they go about convincing Russia and China to support (or abstain from) a resolution? D) Assuming Russia and China do veto (which they absolutely will) all the 'illegal war' and 'war criminal' wànkers will be out in force and they'll be bleating for the next decade or so. How's that to be dealt with? E) Do you want an Islamist or secular power at the helm in Syria? If it's the latter, hate what's happening and quietly hope that Assad holds on to power.
