US administration sources are quoted as saying that air strikes – " either by the US or Israel " – to wipe out Iran's fledgling nuclear program would be difficult because of a lack of clear intelligence about where key components are located. Instead, sources quoted by the paper said the Pentagon is considering strikes in support of regime change, including attacks on the leadership, as well as on political and security targets .. The new " modeling " at the Pentagon, with its shift in emphasis from suspected nuclear sites to political target lists, is said to be causing deep anxiety among officials in Britain, France, and Germany, who last week appeared to have negotiated a deal with Teheran to cease work that could contribute to a nuclear weapons program. But Washington is said to be skeptical about the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
