Shaul Mofaz: "If Iran Continues...We Will Attack"

An Israeli deputy prime minister on Friday warned that Iran would face attack if it pursues what he said was its nuclear weapons programme. "If Iran continues its nuclear weapons programme, we will attack it," said Shaul Mofaz, who is also transportation minister. "Other options are disappearing. The sanctions are not effective. There will be no alternative but to attack Iran in order to stop the Iranian nuclear programme," Mofaz told the Yediot Aharonot daily. He stressed such an operation could only be conducted with US support.

I have been saying this for awhile now. It seems all options have been exhausted. It is only a matter of time. If Israel thinks that Iran is on the verge of capability they will have no choice but to attack. The chances that Iran will respond to negotiations or diplomacy are slim. War (or an air raid) is always the option of last resort. But it seems that at some point Israel may have to resort to it.
