Former US President Assistant: Strike on Iran Disaster
Local Editor
Former special assistant to the US president and senior director for near east affairs on the National Security Council Bruce Riedel estimated that "an "Israeli" strike in Iran will have disastrous ramifications and place "Israel" and the United States.
"An "Israeli" attack on Iran could ignite a regional conflict from Afghanistan to the Gaza strip," warned Riedel, adding that "for the Americans and the Obama administration it will be a disaster."
Riedel, a senior fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy of the Brookings Institution, noted that such a scenario would lead to an Iranian ballistic missile attack on "Israel" and another possible front with Hizbullah.
"Hizbullah will see an attack on Iran as a threat to their patron and there is a very good chance that they will initiate another Lebanon war only this time with even more rockets and missiles than in 2006," said Riedel, adding that an "Israeli" strike in Iran must include a preemptive strike on Hizbullah."
Uncovering that "The Brookings" Institute made a war game simulating an "Israeli" attack on Iran, that former CIA analyst unveiled that the study came to the conclusion that a perfect strike is impossible, and would place "Israel" in a vulnerable position - and the United States in an even tougher spot.
"We have every reason to believe that the Iranian will see an "Israeli" attack on their nuclear facilities as a joint American-"Israeli" attack and they will retaliate not only on "Israeli" targets but on American targets," he explained.
In an interview with the "Israeli" "Ynet" daily he asserted that "the Iranians (have the) capacity to retaliate against America not only in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf but even more so) in Afghanistan where we have 90,000 troops."
Riedel commented to "Ynet"on the recent media frenzy in "Israeli" papers surrounding the possibility of a strike in the Islamic Republic, saying: "I took a look at your papers. It's crazy. I don't really understand why now."
