'IDF can destroy Iran's nuclear program'
By JPOST.COM STAFF
Israel can destroy Iran's growing nuclear program, a senior IDF
officer was quoted as saying by 'The Canadian Jewish News' Web site on
Wednesday.
During an October 22 press briefing in Toronto for a few Jewish
journalists, the unnamed brigadier-general said that Israel had the
military capability to destroy or damage Iran's program. "Delay can
also be helpful," he said.
"We have to be prepared for any eventuality," he was quoted as
saying.
The general also said that the UN sanctions had had "some positive
effects," although they haven't deterred Iran from pursuing nuclear
capabilities.
"We don't see anyone trying to stop Iran," he added.
The officer also said that hitting Iran's nuclear facilities would be
a great challenge, since its facilities are widely scattered and
buried deep underground, the report said.
Israel's policy until now has been to support international efforts to
pressure Iran into ceasing its nuclear program, he said, adding that
"[Israel] preferred to play a background role."
"Iran is leading the radical resistance movement," he said in a
reference to Hizbullah and Hamas.
Addressing the Palestinian conflict, the IDF general was doubtful
whether Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was strong
enough to implement a peace agreement, the Web site reported.
The general also said that Israel might deal with Hamas politically if
it recognized Israel's existence and accepted past agreements the PA
signed with Israel.
