'If Iran Continues Its Nuclear Weapons Program, We Will Attack It'

They've been warned. Of course, they'll need our help. There's a sense of urgency, naturally, since if Barack Obama is elected, the last thing he'll do is project military strength.

AN Israeli deputy prime minister today warned Iran would face attack if it pursues what he said was its nuclear weapons program.

"If Iran continues its nuclear weapons program, we will attack it," said Shaul Mofaz, who is also transportation minister.

"Other options are disappearing.

"The sanctions are not effective. There will be no alternative but to attack Iran in order to stop the Iranian nuclear program," Mr Mofaz told the Yediot Aharonot daily.

He stressed such an operation could only be conducted with US support.
