A UN nuclear watchdog report suggests Iran could be developing a nuclear bomb, apparently confirming long-held suspicions in the West. Tehran denies the claims, insisting that its atomic intentions are peaceful. Israel (and the U.S.) may be making preparations to launch a military strike to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and set the Islamic nation's nuclear pursuits back years. The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran, led by its rabidly anti-Semitic President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has denied the Holocaust and called for Israel to be "wiped off the map", is intolerable for the Jewish State. Iran's nuclear program constitutes an "existential threat" for Israel that, if not mitigated by international diplomacy, Jerusalem may try to stop with military force similar, but far larger in scope, to the 1981 air strike on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor.
