US and Israel prepare to strike Iran
The United States and Israel are already
involved in discussions over how they
could soon conduct a joint surgical strike
on Iranian nuclear facilities, a source close
to the talks tells Foreign Policy magazine.
Although no plan of action has been set in
stone yet, the source says the attack will
likely be from the sky and consist of
drone strikes and bomber jets for only “a
couple of hours” at best but would not
require more than “a day or two” of
action.
But while the US has not officially signed
onto the strike, the source reports,
American involvement would be
absolutely necessary in order to
effectively take out the structures where
Iranian scientists are assumed to be
attempting to procure a nuclear warhead.
“To get to buried Iranian facilities, such as
the enrichment plant at Fordow, would
require bunker-busting munitions on a
scale that no Israeli plane is capable of
delivering,” Rothkopf writes in the article,
published Monday, October 8. “The
mission, therefore, must involve the
United States, whether acting alone or in
concert with the Israelis
]and others.”
