U.S. Army report: Israel can't stop Iran nukes
More news about Iran's Nukes. Apparently Israel cannot stike Iran because the operation would be too far away from their military bases. Looks like it's up to us or the U.N. Well, we know what the U.N. will do (or won't do as the case may be), so I guess it's up to us.

"Therefore its operational capabilities are reduced when the targets are located far from its territory."
