ISRAEL has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons.
Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear “bunker-busters”, according to several Israeli military sources.

Jesus christ, that's crazy.
What I can't understand is the reasoning behind these 'leaders', Bush and the Israeli government. Do they think that by just launching a nuke on a neighbouring country, nothing will happen to them? Seems a bit medieval of them to think that nowadays people live in their country of origin. I guarantee some Iranian fundamentalist is waiting in Israel to revenge his country.

Man I would be scared shitless I was working in those plants, knowing that any time I could be wiped out.
But on Israel's part I dont really blame them, looks like we might be seeing another war between Israel and its neighbors, or at least between Israel and Iran, the others might be too scared, in which case (or either case) Israel will win convincingly just like every other time... sigh.

When you're surrounded by Islamic States, would it really be wise for you to make the first move against one of the Brotherhood?
That's the worst part for Israel, they really are the rock stuck in a many-sided hard place. Doesn't matter what they do, or don't do, they've got nations surrounding them that would love to see them obliterated, whether they voice it openly or not.
This is just not looking good. Makes me glad to live on the opposite side of the planet, for what that's worth these days.
Good find outofctrl.

Oh. My. God.
Firstoff, why would Israeli "military" sources be disclosing secret offensive operations against what they perceive to be an aggressor nation. Don't you kind of think it odd that they would jeopardize the military operation? Doesn't it seem out of character for Israel to spout off at the mouth regarding planning and potential operational missions? This is normally something only the US politicians would do, but not Israel, they tend to keep silent on this sort of stuff. This report also is an acknowledgement by the Israeli military that they have nuclear weapons, which I don't think Israel has ever openly admitted in the past.
Is this an intentional, authorized leak for policy purposes, or is it a "few rogue officers that want to do the right thing" unauthorized leak?
WTF?
His press corp were extremely fast in letting everyone know it was a slip up and a mistake, while old ministers etc were recorded at being furious at his stumble, calling for his resignation etc (which in itself tells of the truth).
So perhaps Israel has gotten brazen in their new found Nuclear freedom?
And perhaps it was a leaked report? (not got time to double check/research as I need to head out).
But regardless of whether or not it was meant to be leaked, you can almost guarantee it didn't get this far into the planning process without US Gov approval.

Israel isn't firing dick.
It's in range of Irans ballistic missiles. Iran doesn't need nukes to wipe Israel off the map. It can do it anytime it wants to.
Israel is staying well out of it.
Chemical warheads, a dirty nuke, they don't want it.
When Iran couldn't hit back it was different.
The reason i find this retarded, and only saber rattling... is that any nation with a compitent military, has plans to do a whole crapload of shit.
I'm sure the US has "plans" to nuke half the countries in the world. In fact, i remember a story a long while ago where "US plans to nuke Iran" if i remember correctly.
Having plans is different than really expecting to do anything.
I don’t know which scares me more…Iran getting atomic capabilities, or Israel actually using theirs.
I shoot for the curve... anything above that is gravy.
Dont go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. (Mark Twain)
Israel is only planning this because they know it will create a Middle East war of "them" vs. Israel. Israel is probably hoping for this because they know that the U.S. will come to their rescue if they are in danger, and we will probably bring a big chunk of the EU with as well.
They are pulling our strings ENTIRELY to much. I say we should either stop Israel from using nuclear weapons, or if they insist on going at it then we should not aid them when the repercussions begin to fall. Evacuate the ones that want out but leave the government to fall to its knees.
There is NO excuse to use a tactical Nuclear explosion.

The MMO gaming blog I write for.
Are you kidding!!!!
A nuke war in that region will ahve worldwide consiquences for everyone else such an action is the sort of thing that can spark a world war.
What so you think would happen in the event of an attack? IMO the world would be outraged and condemn the actions. The would be much saber rattling in the middle east, but I don’t think anyone or as a coalition would attack Israel. Honestly, I don’t think Iran’s neighbors would want them to have nuclear capabilities either.
If you are thinking this is the begining of WWIII I think you are mistaken. AGAIN, IT IS ONLY MY OPINION.
I shoot for the curve... anything above that is gravy.
What in meant was Those sabre rattling countries would be even more inclined to do the following.
Help terrorism
Build Nukes
Build Biologicald
Make suitcases
Ration oil
Raise oil prices
The list goes on really.
Out of curiosity whats that avitar pic cant make it out?
Not too surprising, Iran's leader has made it abundantly clear just what he will do with the nukes he's building, and he starts with Israel. What would you choose to do, just sit there or make damn sure you aren't wiped out?
However, using any kind of nuclear device to wipe out those plants is just plain stupid, they have the weapon capability to do the deed without such serious consequenses.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Exactly. Iran is not a disorganised Arab nation. The Iran of 2007 is a formidable nation that even the US has had second, third and fourth thoughts about attacking.
If Israel seriously thought they could defeat Iran this way, then they'd do it. They aren't that stupid.
Your source for this abundantly clear info?
Iran, Ahmadinejad, Ali Khameini, other mullahs and all, have denied *emphatically* that they are building nukes.
Yes, all of those things are possible, but they are far from WW3. As far as building nukes, it aint that easy. They would have better luck buying one (something that will more than likely happen sooner rather than later.)

I don't think that they should hold off on something like this just because there are iranians in their own country that will defend them...that would be akin to the United States not entering into World War 2 and dropping an A bomb on Japan just because there are Japanese people in our own country. That risk is always there, so your reasoning for not wanting this to go through is a bit flawed in my opinion.
Keep in mind just what exactly a tactical nuclear weapon is as well, they are low yield nuclear bombs, and they are going to be using bunker busters anyway, meaning the above ground repricussions will be minimal, the aim of a bunker buster is to destroy what's below the ground.
I say light em up...if the US won't do anything about Iran, then Israel will.
Some of you are probably asking why the US thinks that it has a right to police who and who does not have nuclear weapons...I believe that it is a matter of need and priority. Should an improvrished nation like Iran and North Korea really be pouring billions of dollars into a nuclear program when they have people dying every day due to starvation? Now I know what you're thinking "people die in the US of starvation too" Well, the circumstances under which we developed nuclear weapons were MUCH different than other countries, and the hunger rate of the United States is miniscule compared to that of North Korea and Iran.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
And what happens if Israel loses? Will good buddy America help out? Sure...but what with?
It'd be suicide for Israel to attack Iran unilaterally, and they know it.
