JERUSALEM -- Israeli officials expressed alarm Monday over Iran's
decision to resume uranium processing, warning that unless the
international community steps up pressure on the Islamic state, Iran
will develop nuclear weapons.

Deep Background

In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the
administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran.
The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney's
office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with
drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-
type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-
scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear
weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets,
including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites.
Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be
taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option. As in the
case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being
involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States.
Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly
appalled at the implications of what they are doing-that Iran is being set
up for an unprovoked nuclear attack-but no one is prepared to damage his
career by posing any objections.

Stay with the action. ;-)
