ISRAEL has drawn up secret plans for a combined air and ground attack on targets in Iran if diplomacy fails to halt the Iranian nuclear programme........
Israeli forces have used a mock-up of Iran?s Natanz uranium enrichment plant in the desert to practise destroying it. Their tactics include raids by Israel?s elite Shaldag (Kingfisher) commando unit and airstrikes by F-15 jets from 69 Squadron, using bunker-busting bombs to penetrate underground facilities.
The plans have been discussed with American officials who are said to have indicated provisionally that they would not stand in Israel?s way if all international efforts to halt Iranian nuclear projects failed. .........
