Israeli Defense Official: We Won't Let Iran Go Nuclear


Al-Manar

"14/11/2008 Israel will not tolerate a nuclear Iran, Amos Gilad, the head of the Israeli Defense Ministry's Diplomatic-Security Bureau, has stressed to Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post in an unusually hard-hitting interview.

For now, Israel is backing diplomatic and economic efforts to thwart the Iranians, Gilad added, but it doubts these will work and it is keeping all options open......

Beyond that, he said, "I can't go into details... Elaborating directly assists the enemy in its war against Israel. The test will be in the result - whether we are able or not to prevent this grave threat. The more we talk about it - however seductive that may be - the more we brag, the more we weaken our capacity to achieve. We cannot accept a nuclear Iran. We cannot be reconciled to it." "
