The fallout from Israel's strike on Osirak was serious but limited. But a preemptive strike on Iranian soil would border on catastrophic.

A report done by CSIS titled “Study on a Possible Israeli Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Development Facilities” outlines some additional “fallout.”
A link to the report was posted in this thread:

I posted this excerpt in the other thread, but it might bear repeating here.
From page 90 of the report:
Quote:
• Attacking the Bushehr Nuclear Reactor would release contamination in the form of radionuclides into the air.
• Most definitely Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE will be heavily affected by the radionuclides.
• Any strike on the Bushehr Nuclear Reactor will cause the immediate death of thousands of people living in or adjacent to the site, and thousands of subsequent cancer deaths or even up to hundreds of thousands depending on the population density along the contamination plume.
