The Latest War Scare Over Iran
(National Post-Canada) Barry Rubin - Israel understandably has plans for a possible attack against Iran if needed and its military trains for that contingency. Israel leaks this fact to unnerve Iran and give Western countries incentives to increase sanctions and work harder to block Tehran from getting nuclear weapons. Recent reports - including the new one from the International Atomic Energy Agency - don't add anything to what Israel already knows. Iran has shown itself to be aggressive and dangerous but not insane. Iran is nowhere near having a strong enough nuclear strike force to let it attack Israel without receiving a devastating Israeli retaliation.
