Israel ready to strike Iran nuke sites: report
[Al Arabiya Latest] Israel's military is preparing so it could launch major aerial attacks on Iranian nuclear sites if ordered to, a British newspaper said Saturday, as Iran marked its armed forces' day with a parade that appeared more muted than in the past."Israel wants to know that if its forces were given the green light, they could strike at Iran in a matter of days, even hours," an unnamed senior defense official told The Times. "They are making preparations on every level for this eventuality. The message to Iran is that the threat is not just words." Among preparatory steps being taken are the acquisition of three Airborne Warning and Control (AWAC) aircraft and regional missions to simulate the attack, the paper said.
