Strike against Iran possible, says Israel
Israel’s defence minister warned on Tuesday of a possible Israeli military strike against Iran’s nuclear programme and rejected suggestions Israel would be devastated by an Iranian counterattack. Ehud Barak spoke a day before the United Nations’ nuclear agency was expected to release a critical report on the Iranian programme. Barak told Israel Radio he didn’t expect IAEA to persuade Russia and China to impose ‘lethal’ sanctions on Iran to pressure Tehran to dismantle its nuclear installations.
