In other news on Iran, the Commander-in-Chief of the Israeli Air Force said Monday that Israel must be prepared to carry out an air strike on Iran in light of its alleged nuclear activity. This according to a report in the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz. Major General Eliezer Shakedi made the comments during a meeting with reporters. Shakedi would not say whether he thought Israel was capable of carrying out such an attack alone. In 1981 Israeli forces bombed an unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor near Baghdad.
