Moshe Ya’alon

Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Ya’alon again has sounded the prospect that Israel may launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities, which Israel and Western countries believe are a cover for making a nuclear bomb, according to a report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

Ya’alon was commenting on a report that Israel has developed an air refueling system that will allow the launch of an airstrike against Iran.

He pointed out Israel now was capable of developing such systems for which the United States had denied technology.

“As far as I’m concerned,” Ya’alon said, “offense remains the best form of defense.”

He said such an attack would include taking out Iranian defenses such as its surface-to-air missile batteries and command-and-control centers.

Only last week in G2Bulletin’s Intelligence Briefs, Ya’alon said Israel considered itself on a war-footing with Iran, even though the word “war” rarely has been mentioned in discussions.
