Israeli Army Chief: Iran Threatens Free World
(Ynet News) Hanan Greenberg - A nuclear Iran would threaten not only Israel, but the entire free, democratic world, Army Chief Dan Halutz told Army Radio Wednesday. Addressing Tuesday's Iranian declaration regarding uranium enrichment, Halutz said: "The Iranians took a significant step with the declaration." However, Halutz also said that "if we look at Iran's map of targets, I'm not convinced Israel would appear at the top of the list." Contrary to estimates in Washington, security officials in Israel believe Ahmadinejad's statements are more than a political move. A senior intelligence officer said the "Iranians are definitely at a point that could lead them to obtain nuclear weapons by 2009."
