US and Israel 'face up to' Iran bomb
By Philip Sherwell in New York and Matthew Kalman in
Jerusalem
Last Updated: 4:35pm GMT 18/11/2007
America and Israel are secretly drawing up plans to deal with an Iran
that has acquired nuclear weapons, The Sunday Telegraph has learned.
Teheran's two arch-foes are preparing for what they have long declared
is an unacceptable scenario, as the prospects for air strikes to
cripple Iran's nuclear network fade, and China and Russia undermine
efforts to forge an international sanctions regime.
The United States and Israel are sticking publicly to their threats
not to allow the Islamic Republic to develop an atomic bomb. But
intelligence chiefs and military planners have given warning that Iran
has done better at hiding and dispersing its nuclear facilities than
previously assessed, this newspaper has been told.
advertisementThe revelations come as the United Nations nuclear
watchdog has revealed that Iran has stepped up its production of
enriched uranium, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad tightens his grip
on Teheran's nuclear programme by threatening domestic critics with
treason charges.
Pentagon strategists are updating US deterrence policies for a future
nuclear-armed Iran, even though -- after the terrorist attack on New
York and Washington in 2001 -- the Bush administration put a policy of
pre-emptive military action at the heart of national security policy.
"The more they looked at the intelligence and the information they
had, the more pessimistic they have become about what could be
achieved on the operational front by military action," said Dan Goure,
a Pentagon adviser. "Military strikes might only set the programme
back a couple of years, but the current thinking is that it is just
not worth the risks." A political rethink has also begun in Israel,
where security policy is linked to its status - never publicly
admitted - as the region's only nuclear state.
At a security cabinet meeting last weekend, Ehud Olmert, the prime
minister, told officials to draw up proposals for dealing with an Iran
that had built atomic weapons, according to leaks.
"First, we must make clear that this is a threat not just to Israel,
but to the wider world. Second, we must exhaustively consider all
preventive options. Third, we must anticipate the possibility of those
options not working," said Ami Ayalon, a security cabinet minister,
after the meeting.
Israel's air force trains for possible long-range raids, and bombed a
suspected nuclear site in Syria recently. But military chiefs face the
same intelligence problems as the US as well as refuelling
difficulties if they cannot fly over hostile Arab states to reach
Iran.
Israel is believed to be equipping a fleet of German-made submarines
with atomic weapons ready to respond to any nuclear threat from
Teheran, and Ehud Barack, the defence minister, is keen to develop a
sophisticated ballistic anti-missile system.
Iran insists its nuclear programme is only for civilian energy
purposes, but the West and Israel say there is overwhelming
intelligence that it is pursuing an atomic bomb. Estimates of the time-
frame range from two to 10 years.
US hawks linked to Vice-President ***** Cheney have argued that a co-
ordinated aerial and submarine-launched bombardment could set Iran's
nuclear programme back by five to 10 years.
But Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, who has emerged as a White
House counterweight to Mr Cheney, has made concerns about possible
retaliation against US forces in Iraq a top priority.

Report: Israel trying to 'Judaize' Temple Mount
Turkish mission sent to inspect Israeli excavations near temple Mount
claims digs destroy Muslim character of site, Old City, says Israel
fails to cooperate with Muslim Waqf. Foreign Minister responds: UNESCO
report on digs disproves claims against Israel
Smadar Peri
The Israeli digs in the Temple Mount reflect disregard for Jerusalem's
cosmopolitan character, crudely violate international historical
legacy laws and represent a pre-planned effort to destroy the Muslim
nature of the holy site and the Old City, a report compiled by a
Turkish mission sent to supervise the excavations claimed.
The Turkish team, which visited Israel in March, also blamed Israel
for deliberately attempting to harm sites considered holy by millions
of Muslims, and for conducting "unnecessary" digs near the Mugrabi
Gate.
Large parts of the report were published by Turkish daily al-Zaman
this weekend. According to the newspaper, the commission had already
submitted its conclusions in July, but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
decided to postpone the report's publication due to diplomatic
concerns.

"The digs that are being carried out greatly go beyond scientific
needs and must be halted immediately," the report stated.
The team members, including Turkish Consul general in Jerusalem Ercan
Ozer, an architect, an archeologist, a geologist and a history
professor further warned that "Israel is trying to change Old
Jerusalem's character and to 'Judaize' the history of the Temple
Mount."
The report's authors also slammed Israel's alleged refusal to
cooperate with the Muslim Waqf. They stressed that the report has been
compiled with the assistance of Palestinian, Jordanian and Israeli
experts.
Responding to the Turkish paper's report, The Israeli Foreign Ministry
said: "Israel is cooperating fully with UNESCO, which had sent a
professional team to the site of the dig and published a report
refuting all the allegations against Israel.
"UNESCO has established a process that involves international
institutions in the Israeli operations near the Mugrabi Gate,
including Jordan and the Waqf. The archeological findings uncovered in
the area are known to all, and work to disprove the claims against
Israel."
