Iran to hold another air force war game soon
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-07-16 00:21 The New York Times reported that US military believed a major military exercise by Israel in early June was a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran's nuclear sites. Some US officials said the Israeli exercise appeared to be an effort to develop the military's capacity to carry out long-range strikes and to demonstrate the seriousness with which Israel views Iran's nuclear program. The Bush administration has said it focused on diplomacy to try to resolve Iran's nuclear issue, but insisted it will take "no option off the table." Some observers believe that it is still possible that the United States and Israel would attack Iranian targets for Tehran's disputable nuclear programs. |
