Jerusalem Post reported on July 19 said that Israel was successful in its efforts to convince Washington to weigh military option against Iran. Long back, in June 1981, then Israeli chief of staff Rafael Eitan had announced the plan of Israeli air force to bomb Iraq’s Ozirak nuclear facilities. He said, “If we do not do that, the result would be our destruction.” Israel has adopted pre-emptive strike as a strategic option in order to prevent hostile Arab and Middle Eastern countries from obtaining nuclear weapons without any opposition or questioning by the international community, which has been accepting all the demands of the Jewish state. Twenty years after the Israeli bombing of Iraq’s nuclear plants, the Jewish state is now planning to thrash Iran. Israel has taken the opportunity to intensify its diplomatic efforts to convince the White House on the need to take a military option to force the Muslim country get rid of its plan to have a nuclear weapon.
