Israel: prepared
Word of warning to Iran and their Holocaust-denying ‘leader’: Israel is prepared militarily to take matters into their own hands of Iran continues to step up its plans for full nuclear capability:
JERUSALEM (AP) – Israel’s defense minister hinted Saturday that the Jewish state is preparing for military action to stop Iran’s nuclear program, but said international diplomacy must be the first course of action.
“Israel will not be able to accept an Iranian nuclear capability and it must have the capability to defend itself, with all that that implies, and this we are preparing,” Shaul Mofaz said.
His comments at an academic conference stopped short of overtly threatening a military strike but were likely to add to growing tensions with Iran.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is about as big a Holocaust denier as they come, and has already stated clearly that Israel should be “wiped off the map.” I know people here in the US have been concerned about the growing threat Iran poses to the international community, but when it’s all said and done, methinks that if it comes to military action, Israel is going to have it covered – and if needed, the US and UK will be on standby if necessary to help them.
I hope diplomacy will work here, but considering Ahmadinejad’s statements about Israel and his wish for Iran to have full nuclear capabilities, I fear it won’t.
