Israel Threatens to Attack Iran

Israeli government claims the extent of the Iranian threat is being underplayed and that no diplomatic pressure can prevent Iranians getting nuclear weapons. ++ Shaul Mofaz, member of Israel's security cabinet, announced last week that "attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable." ++ Despite Israel's skepticism, the only solution is diplomacy and sanctions. ++ Present efforts are not enough: situation calls for new measures, "including tolerance for an Iranian role in neighbouring Iraq and Afghanistan."
