Barak: No ’’Israeli’’ Attack on Iran Soon
"Our position has not changed on three points: a nuclear Iran is unacceptable, we are determined to stop that, and all options are on the table," he added.
"Israeli" War Minister Ehud Barak announced Thursday that an "Israeli" attack on Iran is not imminent.
"We have no intention, at the moment, of taking action, but the State of "Israel" is far from being paralyzed by fear," Barak told "Israeli" Radio.
"We must act calmly and quietly -- we don't need big wars," he viewed.
Trying to keep all options open, Barak confirmed that ""Israel" should not engage in war when it is not necessary, but there may come a time or another when we are forced to face tests."
Barak declined to comment on what was behind explosions in Iranian cities in recent weeks, only one of which has been confirmed by Iranian authorities.
"Anything that sets back the Iranian nuclear program, whether it is accidental or the product of other methods is welcome," he said, refusing to say whether "Israeli" forces had any role in the incidents.
In the radio interview, Barak said ""Israel" would be very glad if sanctions and diplomacy could bring the Iranian leadership to a clear decision to abandon its nuclear military program."
"But, unfortunately, I think that is not going to happen," he claimed.
