Da Joooooos!
(The Australian) — The second blast in as many weeks at an atomic or missile facility has sparked Iranian denials and claims of accidents, but a new phase in efforts to destroy its nuclear ambitions is said to be under way.
“Instead of overt action you have covert action. This is the new battlefront — this is a new kind of war,” an Israeli defence official said.
The Israeli Defence Minister, in a radio interview yesterday, did little to dampen speculation that it had a role in the blast at Isfahan, located in central Iran, and an explosion at a missile base west of Tehran.
Ehud Barak, acknowledging that Israel stood to benefit most from disruption to the nuclear program, said: “We are not happy to see the Iranians move ahead on this (program), so any delay, be it divine intervention or otherwise, is welcome.”
