Israel preparing to attack on Iran within days, claims The Times

The Times reported that Israel was preparing to attack on Iran's nuclear ficilities "within days of being given the go-ahead by its new government."

London-based The Times reported on Saturday that Israel was preparing to attack on Iran's nuclear ficilities "within days of being given the go-ahead by its new government."

The report comes just as the United States voices willingness to launch a dialogue with Iran, to discuss, among other things, the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. The report is seen an Israel-based intimidation against Iran.
Iran demanded on Tuesday that the U.N. Security Council respond firmly to Israel's "unlawful and insolent threats" to launch an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Israel has repeated its theat to launch massive attack on Iran. Earlier this week, Israeli President Shimon Peres also repeated Jewish country's threat if U.S. offers of dialogue failed to persuade Ahmadinejad to halt Tehran's uranium enrichment program.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) is taking every step to ready itself for "what would be a risky raid" on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to report.

Among the steps taken to ready Israeli forces for what would be a risky raid requiring pinpoint aerial strikes are the acquisition of three Airborne Warning and Control (AWAC) aircraft and regional missions to simulate the attack.

"Israel wants to know that if its forces were given the green light they could strike at Iran in a matter of days, even hours," one senior Israeli defense official told The Times.

"They are making preparations on every level for this eventuality. The message to Iran is that the threat is not just words," the source added.

Israel's Home Front Command also announced plans earlier to mobilize the Israeli army for the largest military exercise in its history on June 2.

Two nationwide civil defence drills will boost to prepare the public for the retaliation that Israel could face.

The sites include Natanz, where thousands of centrifuges produce enriched uranium; Esfahan, where 250 tons of gas is stored in tunnels; and Arak, where a heavy water reactor produces plutonium, according to report.

The distance from Israel to at least one of the sites is more than 870 miles, a distance that the Israeli force practiced covering in a training exercise last year that involved F15 and F16 jets, helicopters and refuelling tankers.

The source, however, admitted that it was unlikely that Israel would carry out an attack without receiving "at least tacit approval" from the new US administration.

The Times report comes as earlier on Thursday a Washington think tank cautioned against an Israeli mission to take out Iranian nuclear facilities, saying it is unlikely to be hailed a success.

Israel will conduct an exercise with US forces to test the ability of Arrow, its US-funded missile defence system. The exercise would test whether the system could intercept missiles launched at Israel."
