An Israeli deputy prime minister has claimed that the Israeli regime will attack Iran if the country continues its nuclear program.

“If Iran continues its nuclear weapons program, we will attack it,” claimed Shaoul Mofaz.

“Other options are disappearing. The sanctions are not effective. There will be no alternative but to attack Iran in order to stop the Iranian nuclear program,” Mofaz, also a transportation minister, told the Yediot Aharonot daily.

Mofaz, a former Israeli war minister, stressed that a military operation against Iran would be carried out with the support of the United States.

The remarks were made while there are speculations that the US might wage another war in the region in the twilight months of George W. Bush in office.

Israel, widely believed to be the sole possessor of 200 to 400 nuclear warheads in the Middle East, and its ally the US, accuse Iran of pursuing nuclear weaponry and encourages its allies to wage a war against the country.

Tehran insists that its nuclear program is peaceful and as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty is entitled to enrich uranium for civilian purposes.

  1. So Israel can have nuclear weapons, the United States can have them, but Iran can’t. There is something wrong here. Who gives Washington DC the right to interfere in other countries business. We have enough problems in this country, without trying to run other countries. The American taxpayers are slaves to a regime that makes money out of thin air, to finance world aggression. When will the American taxpayer wake-up?
