Israel considering strike on Iran despite US intelligence report


Rory McCarthy in Jerusalem

Senior Israeli officials warned today they were still considering the option of a military strike against Iran, despite a fresh US intelligence report that concluded Tehran was no longer developing nuclear weapons.

Although Israel argues that it wants to see strong diplomatic pressure put on Iran, it is reluctant to rule out the threat of a unilateral military attack. Matan Vilnai, Israel's deputy defence minister, told Army Radio today: "No option needs to be off the table."

Article continues
Avigdor Lieberman, the hard-right deputy prime minister, said Israel should be ready to act if sanctions did not work. "If they don't, we will sit and decide whatever we have to decide," he told the Jerusalem Post in an interview today.

Israel again ready to stir up a bit of belligerency in the ME. Israel paranoia yet again is pushing Israel into an endless cycle of violence. Or is Israel going to use a post strike diplomatic brouhaha as a cover for a Gaza incursion?

If Israel attacks Iran, it will not be the Iran it will not be the Iranian people but the Iranian nuclear capacity that she will attack. Of course, if the Iranians put civilian shields in their nuclear facilities, then civilians would be killed in the attack.

And of course, if my neighbor threatens me all the time and gets a big vicious dog, I think I am in my rights to 1) call a policeman {where're the world cops when you need them?} & 2) kill the dog in a preemptive strike.

"The courageous over the infidels, make war for Allah and are not afraid... This is the depiction of the army of Allah that will come at Allah's decree, from here or from there, to liberate these lands from the defilement of the Jews, for Allah was angry with them in his book and called them once 'monkeys,' once 'swine,' and once 'donkeys.'" (Palestinian TV, March 30, 2001)
