Three Iran N-sites on Israeli crosshairs

[AnGrz_Z_K_Jailer]

American and Israeli military planners have been examining options for an attack on Iran for almost three decades. There is no shortage of possible
targets: Iran has dozens of nuclear-related sites that are known to western officials.

Yet military experts in Washington and Tel Aviv acknowledge that a surprise airstrike would be likely to succeed only in delaying Iran’s development of nuclear weapons. It would also present challenges with no guarantee that even a sustained assault on known facilities would eradicate Tehran’s nuclear threat.

The three likeliest targets for an Israeli attack are reactors at Bushehr and Arak and a centrifuge production facility at Natanz. All are 1,000 miles or more from Israel, at the outer operating margins of Israeli air force bombers.

Yet the real problem for military planners is that no outside agency has a clear idea of where else Iran may have hidden its weapons-related technologies, notably the long-range missiles that might one day deliver nuclear warheads.
