Perhaps it's another sign the growth of Iran's nuclear program might be reaching a showdown between Israel and Iran. According to Peter Brookes of the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C., an Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear program might come sooner than many people think. Kenneth Timmerman explained in a recent article entitled, "Iran Seeks Confrontation in Gulf."
"Peter Brookes, a former U.S. Navy officer and strategic analyst for the Heritage Foundation, believes that Israel is nearing a decision to unilaterally bomb Iran. Why now?
Simple, Brookes believes. Because Russia has finally set a date -- Sometime this spring -- for delivering the first load of nuclear fuel to Iran's nuclear reactor at Busheir, along the Persian Gulf coast. Israel has twice launched air strikes to cripple the nuclear programs of its declared enemies.
In June 1981, it struck the Osirak nuclear plant in Iraq. Last September, it struck a site in Syria which Brookes and other analysts believe was intended to house a nuclear weapons development program. In both cases, Israel struck before any nuclear material was present, "to prevent radiation from the reactor being spewed into the atmosphere after a strike," Brookes said last week. A similar motive could now prompt Israel to strike Iran in the coming weeks or months, before the Russian nuclear material is delivered to Busheir, Brookes believes."
