One more thread about Israeli attack on the Iran and I won't be responsible for my actions![]()
srsly guys, how many threads do we need for this?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-19274866The purported leaked Israeli memo suggests that the military operation would begin with a massive cyber-attack against Iran's infrastructure, followed by a barrage of ballistic missiles launched at its nuclear facilities.
Military command-and-control systems, research and development facilities, and the homes of senior figures in nuclear and missile development would also be targeted.
Only then would manned aircraft be sent in to attack "a short-list of those targets which require further assault".
BBC diplomatic correspondent Jonathan Marcus says it is not possible to verify the authenticity of the document, but the proposed mission would be huge and have potentially far-reaching consequences.
Iran's government and military have made it clear that if it is attacked either by Israel or the US, it will respond in kind, either directly or through proxies.
In his interview with Maariv, Mr Vilnai said Israel had "prepared as never before".
"There is no room for hysteria," said the former general, who is stepping down at the end of August to become Israel's ambassador to China.
He echoed an assessment by Defence Minister Ehud Barak, who said that it was believed that some 500 people in Israel might be killed.
"There might be fewer dead, or more, perhaps... but this is the scenario for which we are preparing, in accordance with the best expert advice."
"The assessments are for a war that will last 30 days on several fronts," he added, alluding to the possibility of attacks by the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shia Islamist movement, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamist militants in the Gaza Strip.
Mr Vilnai also declined to comment on US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta's assertion on Tuesday that Washington did not believe Israel had yet made a decision on whether or not to launch a strike on Iran.
"I don't want to be dragged into the debate," he added. "But the United States is our greatest friend and we will always have to co-ordinate such moves with it."
On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Mr Vilnai would be succeeded by Avi Dichter, a former head of Israel's internal security agency, Shin Bet.

Yeah, we got our plates full with China strong syndrome
This is an extraordinary story that shows how stupid Richard Silverstein is.
The alleged leaked memo is nothing more than a scenario that opened a thread on Fresh forum a week ago. This scenario is about an imaginary optimistic Israeli strike on Iran.Richard Silverstein told the BBC he had been given an internal briefing memo for Israel's eight-member security cabinet, which outlined what the Israeli military would do to prevent Iran developing nuclear weapons.
The thread was opened by a scenario based on open sources and on the imagination of the author. It is in Hebrew: http://www.fresh.co.il/vBulletin/sho...d.php?t=567269
When I read the reports about the alleged leaked memo that was transferred to Silverstein by an Israeli official, I recognized immediately the scenario published on Fresh Forum.
On Fresh forum, everybody is surprised and is laughing now about the stupidity of Silverstein that, in an unexplained manner, transformed the imaginary scenario into an official report leaked to him.
There are two possibilities. Either Silverstein is a lier or someone fooled him.

It seems Iran think Israel is only "barking". Between the lines they give Israel a challenge to attack or to give up. Next months will tell.Iran on Tuesday said it is dismissing Israeli threats of an imminent attack against it, explaining that even some Israeli officials realised such a "stupid" act would provoke "very severe consequences."
