Israel is making preparations to carry out military attacks in Iran after December, a French magazine reported last night. According to a report in Le Canard Enchainé quoted by Israel Radio, Israel has already ordered high-quality combat rations from a French food manufacturer for soldiers serving in elite units and has also asked reservists of these units staying abroad to return to Israel.The magazine further reported that in a recent visit to France, IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi told his French counterpart Jean-Louis Georgelin that Israel is not planning to bomb Iran, but may send elite troops to conduct activities on the ground there.
These, according to the magazine, could involve sabotage of nuclear facilities as well as assassinations of top Iranian nuclear scientists.
Israel has recently toned down rhetoric against Iran so as not to hinder US diplomatic efforts at bringing Teheran to become transparent regarding its nuclear program, but neither Yerushalayim nor Washington have so far made any unequivocal statements to the effect that the military option against Iran was no longer being considered.
Israel has maintained that it has the military capability to tackle Iran on its own if sanctions against the Islamic Republic prove ineffective.
Israel accuses Iran of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. Teheran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful.

ye a piece full of israel
if they are going to do it why talk about it
They are not talking about it. But it’s hard to hide the fact, when reservists are called back home.
I personally believe they shouldn’t hide it, because when they tell the world for years that they’re going to do it, unless the world stops Iran, and of course the world doesn’t stop Iran, the PR damage won’t be as bad as, say, The Israelis suddenly bombed Iran out and no one saw it coming.
Just my two cents.
