DF's source is "an unnamed Israeli security" official. He calls 20% enrichment "a short jump to weapons grade fuel." DF quoted Netanyahu saying:
"All threats against the home front are dwarfed by one -- Iran must not be allowed to have nuclear arms!"
DF claimed the urgency of addressing an alleged Iranian threat is "many times more necessary" than bombing what's now known not to have been a Syrian nuclear site in 2007. It added that Netanyahu and Barak "put themselves in a straightjacket" by:
(1) Delaying two years. It let Iran's nuclear program progress. It also bought time to "enlist ex-politicians and retired generals at home" to publicly oppose military action.
(2) Both men "behaved as though" Iranian policy is "their exclusive province."
DF said Netanyahu must decide whether or not to confront Iran given fast moving events in Egypt and an alleged Syrian chemical weapons threat.
In fact, relations with Egypt remain stable. Syria poses no threat unless Western generated violence spills over cross-border. Israel partnered with Washington's war. It may end up reaping what it helped sow.
In June, RAND Corporation analyst Gregory Jones said Iran can build a nuclear bomb in eight weeks. His analysis relied on dubious IAEA information. Director Yukiya Amano serves Western interests.
