Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran

TimesOnline from the UK is reporting that Israel has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons.

Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear “bunker-busters”, according to several Israeli military sources.

The attack would be the first with nuclear weapons since 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The Israeli weapons would each have a force equivalent to one-fifteenth of the Hiroshima bomb.

The Rocky Mountain News reports that Israel denies planning a nuke attack on Iran.

Was this just a way for the London Sunday Times to increase readership?
