If not stopped by next year, Iran will have “crossed the threshold of stockpiling fissionable material,” warns Dennis Ross who served as the director for policy planning in the State Department under President George H.W. Bush and special Middle East envoy under President Bill Clinton in remarks to Toronto’s Shaarei Shomayim Congregation that were reported by the Canadian Jewish News.
Not only did Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vow to “wipe Israel off the map,” but former Iranian President Mohammed Khatami has stated that it would “take only one bomb” to annihilate Israel, Ross told the gathering.
There are clear signs that the Bush administration will not wait that long and military action is imminent. Israel “is preparing for heavy casualties,” expecting to be the target of Iranian retribution following a U.S. strike. Saudi Arabia is reportedly taking emergency steps in preparing to counter any radioactive hazards that may result from an American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
