ISRAEL PLANNING NUCLEAR STRIKES




A British daily has made the startling revelation that Israel is planning to strike Iranian nuclear facilities with tactical nuclear weapons. Tactical nuclear weapons are of a lower yield and feasible for precise battlefield use. This puts the peace in the middle east in jeopardy and experts fear that Iran, which has missiles capable of striking targets deep inside Israel, might reimburse in kind. Though Iran has time and again vowed to abstain from developing nuclear weapons but Israel would not leave anything to chance. Middle east can be termed a rough neighbourhood as Saddam Hussein's deplorable execution has sent ripples and riled up many a turbulent sand storms across the region with global ramifications. Let's just hope this is just a stunt by the British daily to increase it's sales but due to it's credibility that looks unlikely.
