A US military action against Iran's nuclear facilities has entered a practical stage, according to a Saudi newspaper.  The report, published Sunday by al Watan daily, claims the American intelligence identified 23 nuclear facilities in Iran while intelligence bodies of other countries added to the list eight facilities. All of these are expected to targeted by US warplanes if diplomatic efforts to stop Iran's nuclear facilities fail. According to the report, the US army will need five days to one week to complete the strike. However, US military experts claim the attack should be carried out no later than January 2007, because on that time Iran's nuclear development enters the "red phase", i.e. the nuclear facilities would be dangerous to strike due to fear of radiation.
The report adds the US has decided that Israel will not be directly involved in the strike. However, the Bush administration will allow Israel to retaliate if attacked by long range Iranian missiles. Based on US intelligence reports, Iran has at least 20 mobile launchers for this kind of missiles.

Rubbish, Iran is threatening the peace and stability of the whole world. Israel cannot afford to strike Iran because of prejudicial hatred of Jews endemic in the Middle East. You should educate yourself, Christians do not like Jews anymore than they like Muslims. What you say is a ridiculous but all too common myth. |

Iran is threatening the peace of the whole world? Could that be the reason US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq? Israel as the most openly barbaric government in the Middle East is nuclear armed and you consider Iran a s a threat to the whole world? Your homework is: For one week stop watching TV (Fox news included definitly) and read and then do something very "moronic" think about the things you read. No the world will not stop spinning but you will be a bit more enlightened person. good luck chum. |
