Tel Aviv: Israel is making the necessary preparations to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities. This decision comes as all the intelligence proves that Iran is very close to assemble at least one nuclear bomb.
The Israeli air force (IAF) has among other things destroyed almost all the Russian made air defence systems that have been used by the Syrian army. As reported by Raksha Anirveda, in more than 230 raids, the IAF destroyed the Syrian air force and navy assets.
An attack on Iran after the massive operation in Syria will assist in such an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities .
The reason for the attack on the Syrian army was based on the understanding that the rebels were advancing south, and the desire to prevent advanced weapons from falling into their hands .
Syria without the Russian made air defence systems will allow the IAF an easier flight path to Iran if and when such an attack will be performed.
Defence sources say that Israel is capable of attacking the Iranian nuclear facilities but added that with American cooperation the results will be much better.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the transition team of President-elect Donald Trump is developing a “Maximum Pressure 2.0” campaign against the Iranian leadership. Trump’s second term may involve military actions, such as potential strikes on nuclear sites, whereas his first administration concentrated on imposing severe economic penalties on Iran.
