Iran Nuclear Watch: Israel Planning Nuclear Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Facilities?
***SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES***
Drudge is reporting:Israel has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons, the SUNDAY TIMES of London is planning to report, British media sources tell DRUDGE… MORE…
Has the NUCLEAR “POINT OF NO RETURN” been reached?
Well, there have been signs of preparation and the rhetoric from Iran has certainly been ominous and begging for silencing.
Will the United States aid Israel?
You betcha………
UPDATE:
The Sunday Times: Focus: Mission Iran
Israel will not tolerate Iran going nuclear and military sources say it will use tactical strikes unless Iran abandons its programme. Is Israel bluffing or might it really push the button?
In an Israeli air force bunker in Tel Aviv, near the concert hall for the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, Major General Eliezer Shkedi might one day conduct operations of a perilous kind. Should the order come from the Israeli prime minister, it will be Shkedi’s job as air force commander to orchestrate a tactical nuclear strike on Iran.
Two fast assault squadrons based in the Negev desert and in Tel Nof, south of Tel Aviv, are already training for the attack.
On a plasma screen, Shkedi will be able to see dozens of planes advance towards Iran, as well as the electronic warfare aircraft jamming the Iranian and Syrian air defences and the rescue choppers hovering near the border, ready to move in and pluck out the pilots should the mission go wrong.
Another screen will show live satellite images of the Iranian nuclear sites. The prime target will be Natanz, the deep and ferociously protected bunker south of Tehran where the Iranians are churning out enriched uranium in defiance of the United Nations security council.
If things go according to plan, a pilot will first launch a conventional laser-guided bomb to blow a shaft down through the layers of hardened concrete. Other pilots will then be ready to drop low-yield one kiloton nuclear weapons into the hole. The theory is that they will explode deep underground, both destroying the bunker and limiting the radioactive fallout.

From what I understand about the capabilities of Israel and the hardened facilities Iran has put some of their nuclear assets in, I doubt that Israel can do this alone. I also doubt that the USA will risk the political capital by rushing into this military option.

Bill,
Your concerns are addressed here: http://flapsblog.com//?p=3975
This scenario is very doable.
Israel does not need to destroy all of the sites – just destroy enough of them to push Iran behind a few years.
The Iranian economy will collapse and so will the Mullah’s government.

I am glad Israel is finally taking action against Iran and hope the U.S. will be right by its side. However, I think this is a terrible mistake for their plans to be leaked to the press because of the danger it could put the troops in.
