Israel 'has plan for nuclear strike on Iran'
By Marie Woolf, Political Editor
Published: 07 January 2007

Israel has drawn up secret plans to use low-yield nuclear weapons to knock out Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, it was claimed last night.

According to a report in The Sunday Times, two Israeli air force squadrons are training to use nuclear "bunker busting" bombs to demolish Iran's heavily guarded enrichment programme. Israeli military commanders are said to believe that conventional strikes may not be sufficient to wipe out Iran's enrichment facilities, some of which are built beneath 70ft of concrete and rock.

Under the plans conventional laser-guided bombs would open tunnels into the targets and then mini nuclear weapons would be fired, exploding deep underground. The nuclear-tipped, bunker-busting bombs would only be used if a conventional attack was ineffective, or if the US, which also wants to halt Iran's nuclear programme, fails to act. The leaking of the "plans" may well be designed to apply pressure on the US.

Israel has already made it clear that it does not want to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. It fears for its own safety after the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said: "Israel must be wiped off the map."

Israel is said to have identified three prime targets south of Tehran, including Nantanz, where facilities are being installed for uranium enrichment underground. Israeli pilots are believed to have flown to Gibraltar recently to train for the 2,000-mile round trip to Iran.

A spokesman for the Israeli embassy in London said last night that Israel preferred to use diplomatic means to end Iran's nuclear enrichment programme. "We have an unchanged policy position on the Iranian nuclear issue. Israel prefers this issue to be resolved through diplomatic channels," he said. "We cannot comment on any other scenario."

Worst kept secret since Israel actually got the bomb. There is certainly a reason for the leak.

Agreed. People act like it's a big deal Israel has a plan to go after the nuke facilities of a country that has sworn to wipe them (Israel) off the face of the earth.

Hell, we have a plan to invade Canada if we need to. Doesn't mean it's imminent :lol

Salma and Penelope, Laura Harring are cool, exotique, sexy, spicy, not the least because they aren't yet another bland American blond robot from the Hollywood factory.

Israel readies forces for strike on nuclear Iran


ISRAEL’S armed forces have been ordered by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister, to be ready by the end of March for possible strikes on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran, military sources have revealed.

The order came after Israeli intelligence warned the government that Iran was operating enrichment facilities, believed to be small and concealed in civilian locations.

Democrats: Nuclear Iran unacceptable
By HILARY LEILA KRIEGER

Iran with nuclear weapons is unacceptable, new House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told The Jerusalem Post hours after entering the party leadership position.

The Maryland Democrat said the view is shared by his party, rejecting assertions that the Democrats would be weaker than the Republicans on Iran.

He also said that the use of force against Teheran remained an option.

Hoyer, second only in the hierarchy of the House of Representatives to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is charged with articulating and strategizing on party policy.

He spoke to the Post on Thursday, the opening day of the 110th Congress, after making an appearance at the National Jewish Democratic Council reception honoring the six new Jewish members of Congress.

The council gathering was one of scores of events on Capitol Hill held to celebrate the start of the new session.

Hoyer is considered close to the Jewish community and many Israel supporters have hailed his elevation in the House.

He was one of the few non-Jewish lawmakers to attend the council reception.

Hoyer said the Democrats' position, like that of the Bush administration, was that preventing a nuclear-armed Iran had to be done through "discussions, negotiations, sanctions." Hoyer added that the US needed to work with the international community to block Teheran's nuclear ambitions.

At the same time, Hoyer said the use of force hadn't been taken off the table.

"I've not ruled that out," he said, but added, "It's not an option we want to consider until we know there is no other option."

Im pretty sure the arab nations surrounding israel wants a piece of them......syria will get involve sumshow and i believe you guys already have enough on ur hands with iraq, and i doubt russia/china is going to do anything, even if korea decides to test someshit in there region, escalating another war.

The Mullahs in Iran are losing power, that's why they got that lunatic Amahajadin screaming his head off to the media all the time, it makes them look rational. Bomb Iran with conventional weapons and you'll spark a whole new generation of holy warriors, bomb Iran with nuclear weapons and Israel could get hit with biological/chemical weapons and a newly united multi-nation Arab army. Either way, I predicted 2 years ago that the bombing of Iran would eventually lead to the end of the U.S. as the world's lone police force and the lone world economic super-power. It's all part of deconstructing the last threat to global economic domination - the U.S. armed forces, and building a multinational national force that will enforce world law and eventually lead to the unfolding of what has become known as the new world order. So far, they're right on track.
