Israel Preparing Nuke Attack on Natanz
That’s what this article claims. I don’t put alot of credibility into it, though. Here’s why:
Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear “bunker-busters”, according to several Israeli military sources.
If we should’ve learned anything the past couple years, it’s that leakers shouldn’t be trusted. That isn’t saying that these sources aren’t right; it’s just that we’ve seen alot of leakers who leaked to discredit plans or to try and give their agenda a boost. People with agendas and who hide behind a cloud of secrecy aren’t my idea of a stand up person.
There is one thing that’s worth contemplating in all this: Israel’s intelligence is among the most reliable in the world. Whether they’re planning on using low-yield bunker-busters or not, they obviously think that Iran is near to developing nuclear weapons capability.
That alone should give serious people pause.

From Fox: Israel’s Foreign Ministry is denying a British newspaper report that claims Jerusalem has drafted plans for a low-level nuclear strike on Iran to wipe out its uranium enrichment facilities using nuclear-tipped “bunker busters.”
Although we can’t put much blame on Israel if they were (and I hope they are) concocting some sort of contingency plan to deal with the increasingly outspoken threat of Iran.
