"Little Israel" Will Not Save World from Iran
(Jerusalem Post) Arieh O'Sullivan- The West should not expect "little Israel" to take pre-emptive action to save the world from Iranian nuclear weapons, Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee head Yuval Steinitz said. It is the free world, led by the U.S., that must stand behind its pledge not to let Iran get the bomb, he said. Steinitz said that while Israel is within range of Iran's Shihab-3 missile, Iran only has about two dozen, and they can only be armed with 700-kilogram conventional warheads. "The missiles are very inaccurate, and are completely ineffective against a military target or the nuclear reactor in Dimona," he said. According to military intelligence, the Iranians are currently developing the Shihab-4 and 5, with ranges of 3,000 km. and 6,000 km., putting Europe under Iranian missile threat.
