Nuclear Bomb Threat, Iran Attack to the Fore Again

Nuclear Bomb Threat, Iran Attack to the Fore Again

US, Israel fear nuclear Iran and argue about the possibility of a military attack.

Nuclear Iran has been the chief concern of the US administration and the Zionist entity for more than eight years where they didn’t stop their language of threatening and menacing against the Islamic Republic.

These inconstant intimidations that heightened and vanished from time to time, prompted Iran over years to develop its nuclear technology for civilian purposes as being a signature to the UN nuclear non proliferation treaty (unlike Israel), rebuffing Western allegations it’s developing a nuclear bomb.

This is what Former Mossad head Meir Dagan warned against on Monday but in his own language. He said that the continued discussion of military action against Iran may lead Tehran to “intensify efforts” to achieve nuclear potential before a possible attack.

Dagan stressed a serious military option should be on the table, but should be used only if Israel felt its back was "against the wall".

And at the time US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ‘analyzed’ that Iran has reached the point where it can assemble a bomb in a year if not less, he warned that whatever steps deemed necessary to stop it will be taken.

In an interview with CBS Evening News, Panetta expressed fear if the Iranians have a hidden facility that may be enriching fuel, “that would allow it to speed up the development of nuclear arms.” He said that while a nuclear Iran would be "unacceptable," he had no indication yet that the Iranians have made the decision to produce nuclear weapons.

Asked about the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, the Defense Secretary said, "Well, we share the same common concern. The United States does not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. That's a red line for us and that's a red line, obviously, for the Israelis. If we have to do it we will deal with it."

Just two weeks ago Panetta spoke out against a military strike on Iran, saying it could have severe economic repercussions worldwide, but he told CBS that the military option was not "off the table."

US President Barack Obama said over the weekend, during a private meeting with Israeli "Defense" Minister Ehud Barak, that “the cooperation between our militaries has never been stronger.”

Both countries, as Barak said, agree that a nuclear Iran is "unacceptable."
