As Iran and the P5+1 world powers struggle to eke out a deal on Tehran's nuclear program in Switzerland, Israel says it will do everything possible to prevent a nuclear Iran.
Speaking on public radio Thursday, Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz (Likud) said that all options were on the table in the face of the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.
This, he added, includes military action.
Iran has repeatedly called for Israel's destruction. Most recently on Tuesday, senior Iranian military official, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, said "Israel's destruction is non-negotiable" and that the Jewish state should be "wiped of the map."
Additionally, as noted by Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon (Likud), while he toured the Golan Heights on Thursday, Iran has been opening a terrorism front against the Jewish state with the placement of its Revolutionary Guards and Lebanese terror group Hezbollah.
Steinitz said Israel would seek to counter any threat through diplomacy and intelligence but "if we have no choice we have no choice... the military option is on the table."
When asked about possible US objections, Steinitz named Israel's attack against the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq in 1981. "This operation was not carried out in agreement with the United States."
According to Steinitz, there was no doubt as to what Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's response would be to a nuclear armed Iran. "The Prime Minister has said clearly that Israel will not allow Iran to become a nuclear power."
Indeed, Netanyahu, the leader of Steinitz's Likud party, criticized international powers on Wednesday for softening their stance on Iran's nuclear program.

Seems the Mossad should just step up an assassination campaign. Maybe you can’t take out the underground facilities, so you take out the scientist and the grunts working the centrifuges.
Yes.
Since the physical assets are pretty well scattered and buried, it is likely that command and control would be the main targets. Israelis do know where these guys live.
BTW, to see what 50-year old nuke technology can do, check out what could be put in an American seaport:

Iran wants a nuke.They're stringing the West along.Even *France* knows that.
Israel should bomb Iran *now*...just in case intelligence reports regarding their progress are wrong.

Dave,
In my opinion, this is what will happen in September.

The article is accompanied by a spreadsheet that lays out the assumptions, the scriptural prophecies, and the probable timings.
Our fleet is in the Persian Gulf, not to contain Iran, but to interdict and stop any Israeli attack on Iran’s nuke facilities.
I wish I were an Israeli... instead I’m an American who is embarrased by what has become of our USofA... big sigh!
