(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - "Israel's political and military leadership has done the right thing by preparing a realistic military option (for Iran)," former Military Intelligence chief and Air Force commander Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin said Tuesday. "Using this military option would require us to consider in advance what would happen not only immediately afterward, but also 10 years later." Yadlin assessed that a strike on Iran would delay its nuclear program by three to five years. After that, he said, it would be necessary to continue pressuring Tehran, and Israel could not do that alone. He proposed three criteria by which the latest round of talks with Iran should be analyzed: a) The removal of some six tons of uranium enriched to 4.5% would be insufficient, since the uranium enriched to 20% would allow Iran to assemble a number of warheads. b) The existence of the nuclear site adjacent to the city of Qum allows uranium to be brought into the "zone of immunity" and enriched to the highest level without the risk of being attacked. "Closing (this) facility closes the immunity zone," he stressed. c) Well-specified arrangements to be supervised by the IAEA. 2012-05-23 00:00:00Full Article
