Some excerpts from the article......

Meanwhile on Saturday, The New York Times reported that Iran recently moved almost its entire stockpile of low-enriched uranium to an above-ground facility.

Iran’s action, which according to the report has confused Western officials, exposes the material to an air strike or even to ground-based sabotage.

The Times quoted one official as saying the move was tantamount to painting a bull’s-eye on the stockpile.

Other explanations raised by the paper include the possibility that the Islamic Republic actually wants Israel to attack, since that would likely unite the Iranian people behind the regime and silence the opposition Green Movement and the demonstrations protesting against the results of June’s presidential election.

I don't doubt Iran welcome's the Israeli strike. They're looking for a reason to open a regional war and create mayhem for the return of their well-dwelling death cult leader.

I think they may be a bit surprised to find out 1 - The well is empty and 2 - The opposition won't support them.
