Washington, DC, May. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. authorities have extensively considered the possibility -- or likelihood -- that Israel will attack Iran's nuclear facilities, perhaps this year.

U.S. analysts and government sources said the Bush administration has discussed the prospect of an Israeli air strike in terms of the diplomatic, military and security implications for the United States, particularly its military presence in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region, the Middle East Newsline reported Friday.

Washington Times, you need to be reminded of this very important statement at this moment. We are at War. Loose lips sink ships. Never tell any potential adversary of any possible contingencies, period.

Thanks for the PING, F-14 Pilot, Very Best FReegards, D2

Israeli officials time and time again in the Israeli media have said they assess that Iran on its current path will have nuclear weapons by the end of 2004 and that Israel will protect itself in some way. Iran already has the means to deliver them to Israel, unveiling their tech last year, and magically the missiles range was basically the distance between Israel and Iran.

bump. The Saudi terrorist state is the bank of the terrorists in the world and the ideological center. If you want to stop terrorists you go to the root.

My take is that these are some warnings to the Mullahs right before the IAEA session next month. How would you think?
