WikiLeaks reported that US Congressman Garry Akerman had a meeting with Ariel Levit, deputy head of the Israeli Commission for Nuclear Energy. Levit said that Israel considers a military operation against Iran impossible.
Levit said that Iran took into account the bombings of Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981 and spread out its nuclear facilities. The Israeli official believes that Iran may develop nuclear arms in 2-3 years. However, there is no precise information on the secret nuclear program of Iran.
