Update Mar. 8, 2012, 19.00 GMT
The following drawing, exclusively prepared by Al Clark for The Aviationist, shows how an attack by a formation of F-15Is on a nuclear facility located in downtown Tehran might look like.
Obviously, it is only a fictional scene, however it is quite realistic for an eventual strike on the Tehran Nuclear Research Center, that is located not far from the Milad Tower, clearly visible on the background.
Someone might argue that the first and most of strikes would be launched at night. That is true, but it is quite likely that subsequent missions would be flown during daylight conditions too. Even the surroundings of the Nuclear Research Center are probably a bit different from those depicted, the payload could be different, tanks would be dropped, altitude should be higher and so on, but please take it just as an interesting artwork.
Please note that I’ve used the word “image” because it is not a drawing, nor a rendering or a photo. It is a Computer Generated Imagery (CGI).

May be just in photoshop, but no balls big enough to make real.
It’s a nice art work. And I think it’s OK to imagine a possible strike. But keep peace in mind. The image just shows homes that people live in. The bomb shown would just kill some family. Iranians are peaceful people if you know them.
What a shameful glorification of war death an destruction..
