Predicting that sanctions will ultimately fail to stop Teheran's
nuclear program, Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, former head of
Military Intelligence's Research Division, told The Jerusalem Post on
Monday that time to launch an effective military strike against Iran's
nuclear installations was running out.
According to Kuperwasser, who stepped down from his post last year,
Iran is "very close" to the point that it will cross the technological
threshold and have the capability to enrich uranium at an industrial
level. Once they master the technology, the Iranians will have the
ability to manufacture a nuclear device within two to three years, he
added.
"The program's vulnerability to a military operation is diminishing as
time passes," Kuperwasser said, "and they are very close to the point
that they will be able to enrich uranium at an industrial level."

In an article entitled "Halting Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program:
Iranian Vulnerabilities and Western Policy Options" published this
week by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs - run by former
Israeli ambassador to the UN Dr. Dore Gold - Kuperwasser spells out
what he believes is the only course of action that will stop Iran's
race to nuclear power.
Thanks to technological sophistication, advances in producing raw
materials as well as intermediate products and the improvement in
protection of the program's components, the Western world is beginning
to find it difficult to plan an effective strike against Iran's
nuclear facilities, he said.
On Monday, The Washington Post revealed new satellite photos of Iran's
enrichment facility at Natanz which showed the digging of a tunnel
that analysts said could be used to hide and protect key nuclear
components.
Iran, Kuperwasser said, was working on two parallel tracks - one at
Natanz to enrich uranium and the plutogenic track being worked on at
the Arak heavy water facility.
As long as Russia was not aligned with the United States, Kuperwasser
said sanctions would not work on their own to stop Iran.
"For significant sanctions to be effective the world needs to at the
same time threaten the use of military force," he said. "Iran needs to
be made to understand that if the sanctions won't work, the world is
prepared to use military force to stop the nuclear program."
He said Iran was preparing for the possibility of war, but that deep
down the Islamic leadership did not believe that either the United
States or Israel were in a position of strength that would enable them
to launch such a complicated military operation. Iran, he said, was
purchasing Russian air defense systems and was fortifying its nuclear
facilities and moving key elements to underground bunkers in
preparation for the possibility that its assessments were wrong and it
would in the end be attacked.
"The Iranians are working around the clock on improving military
capabilities and they are also moving centrifuges to underground
facilities," he said.
Kuperwasser said that a real threat of military action - backed up by
credible threats by world leaders as well as the deployment of a large
military force to the region - could have the right effect in
deterring Iranian leaders from continuing with their nuclear program.
A credible military threat combined with economic leverage had a
chance at preventing the need for a future clash with a nuclear Iran
and perhaps could also make it unnecessary to deal today with an Iran
that is close to nuclearization, he said.
