    Israel deputy PM: Iranian nuclear sites vulnerable

    HERZLIYA, Israel (AP) — Israel's deputy prime minister says Iran's suspected nuclear weapons sites remain vulnerable to possible military strikes, suggesting that underground bunkers do not offer sufficient protection.

    Moshe Yaalon also told an academic conference Thursday that Tehran is trying to develop missiles with a range of 6,250 miles (10,000 kilometers) that could reach the United States. He did not elaborate

    Yaalon's remarks follow comments by the U.S. defense secretary, Leon Panetta, who recently said U.S. bunker-buster bombs were not powerful enough to penetrate all of Iran's defenses.

    Yaalon suggested the forces guarding the Iranian sites could be targeted and that "at the end of the day, it's possible to strike all the installations."

        From HISTORY, no one has fought for Israel except God!

        On the other hand USA exist today as a Super Power just for the sake of Israel.

        The blockheads in the USA must know that without Israel there would be no USA!

      Why is everyone worried about a nuke? MANY countries possess chemical and biological weapons (including Iran) that will do just as much damage or more and cost next to nothing..whereas a nuke can cost tens of millions and it's a one shot deal. This is simply an excuse for more war.

        Your an idiot. A nuke can kill 10million people in one shot and leave the area unlivable. Today's nukes have 12 different warheads, each capable of hitting a different target and they are 100's of times more powerful than Hiroshima.
      • joseph 3 mths ago
        Each of the 12 is hundreds of times more powerful than Hiroshima.

    • trutho  •  3 mths ago
      Of course Israel would never strike Iran. Thats what the goy sheeple are for after all.

      Spread enough nuke material all over the nearby soil and the workers wont be able to get to and from work.

      Israeli nuclear site are more Vulnerable, which Iran said they Will target back,
      these guys run on emotions,and Russia longest 2 stage rocket missile longest range is 6,000 miles, the USA is 8,000 miles away nobody has build a missile with a range over 6,000. And why worry they can't even set of the nuclear bomb even if they build it it's has to get a few thousand degrees and exploded in wards this has to be tested,very hard ,,and then they have to smaller size it to fit into a war head. USA is half way around the world Russia and USA missile go over the top where the atmospheres is thin,don't think these are even true 6,000 missile

      How little these Israeli idiots think of Americans , first Israel " Reminds " the enemy that their atomic shops are vulnerable so please defend them better , then Iranians missiles will target the United States , so please American soldiers go there and die for Israel and spend another trillion Dollars on top of the Billions of dollars that they get every year by bribing the American congressmen . If Americans have to pay $20 Dollars a gallon for gas and American economy collapse , Millions of Americans unemployed , foreclosures and bankruptcy on a level unheard of its O.K with Israel , after all Jews are God's chosen people . So dear Americans its your sacred duty to die for Israel . Please find the Iranians WMD , they are right behind Saddam Hussein's WMD .

    • Bijan  •  Las Vegas, Nevada  •  3 mths ago
      The Soviet Union with its mighty Zillion Megaton hydrogen bombs and ICBMs didn't dare attack or even hint at targeting America so why does the U,S worry about Iranians one nuclear firecrackers . #$%$ Israel fight your own war or shut the hell up . For 30 years you have been " attacking " Iran the world is sick and tired of your bellyaching .

      tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tick tock....

      Israel AND the USA have tactical nuke bunker busters that ARE allowed to be used under the Geneva convention and not considered weapons of mass destruction because they are purpose built to destroy deep installations ONLY, and don't even produce the same blast wave and radioactive pulse like a convention population targeting nuclear weapon.

      We invented them to outperform the conventional bunker busters we have...
      AND THEY WORK GREAT.

      The underground facilities are SITTING DUCKS.

      And Israel and the USA are going to be having DUCK for dinner real soon.....

      Yaalon suggested "the forces guarding the Iranian sites could be targeted and that "at the end of the day, it's possible to strike all the installations."
      This is the most important point to remember in this discussion, that if someone powerful really wanted to end the program, we could GET AT IT. You don't have to target the site per se. You just wipe out those guarding it and then destroy it the old fashioned way. Cut off communications, either do or do not use a neutrom bomb to wipe out the guards, then enter the area and destroy it.

        well said.

        This is a good idea to minimize casualties, but it will still be a declaration of a war. I suggest we keep the proxy going, just like Iran had been doing with Hamas and Hezbollah.

    • Ezrach Jacobi  •  Tel Aviv, Israel  •  3 mths ago
      It's called psychological warfare if it avoids the actual war then why not trying it the US & USSR used same strategy for several decades warning each other and not a single bullet was fired (of course James Bond did the dirty work when it was necessary) I hope it will work in this case to
    • Alkoholic  •  3 mths ago
      If their sites are so vulnerable, go for it. Leave us out of it. We DO NOT need someone to hold our coat while we fight their wars. The politicians in DC have that job.

      A Large, Atomic warning shot overhead should put fear in everybody.
      Maybe stop the tensions and return to peace

        taser, teser ...you are an idiot.....
      • Taser Park 3 mths ago
        A Warning shot should be used first. It would in no doubt receive instant cooperation from terrorist countries.

      ever ask yourself why israel remarks about eliminating iranian nuclear weapons sites while iran remarks about eliminating arab, christian, and jewish israelies???
      speaks volumes about the type and class of people we're dealing with.

    • FromPaul2Saul  •  3 mths ago
      David, do you want Israel to wait till ayatollahs get the nukes and use them (directly or via proxies like Hezbollah)?
      Or you would rather Israel just disband itself? :-)))
