NATO Chief: Given Iran Nukes, We Can't Ask Israel to Disarm
[Reuters] Crispian Balmer - NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said Monday that as a result of Iran's nuclear activities, he would never expect Israel to abandon its own, "supposed nuclear arsenal." "As we all know, Israel never admits to what it has, but I do not see very many arguments for the Jewish state to abandon its potential," he said. Scheffer added that he was equally concerned about Iran's drive to develop its missile capabilities. "What is as dangerous (as the nuclear program) is the missile technology which (Iran) is also developing at a fast pace," he said. "This becomes an element for the security of the United States and of course Europe."
