'Time running out for Iran strike'

Predicting that sanctions will ultimately fail to stop Teheran's nuclear program, Brig.Gen.(res.)Yossi Kuperwasser,former head of Military Intelligence's Research Division, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday that time to launch an effective military strike against Iran's nuclear installations was running out.According to Kuperwasser, who stepped down from his post last year, Iran is "very close" to the point that it will cross the technological threshold and have the capability to enrich uranium at an industrial level.Once they master the technology,the Iranians will have the ability to manufacture a nuclear device within two to three years, he added."The program's vulnerability to a military operation is diminishing as time passes," Kuperwasser said, "and they are very close to the point that they will be able to enrich uranium at an industrial level."On Monday,The Washington Post revealed new satellite photos of Iran's enrichment facility at Natanz which showed the digging of a tunnel that analysts said could be used to hide and protect key nuclear components.Iran, Kuperwasser said, was working on two parallel tracks-one at Natanz to enrich uranium and the plutogenic track being worked on at the Arak heavy water facility.As long as Russia was not aligned with the United States, Kuperwasser said sanctions would not work on their own to stop Iran."For significant sanctions to be effective the world needs to at the same time threaten the use of military force," he said. "Iran needs to be made to understand that if the sanctions won't work, the world is prepared to use military force to stop the nuclear program."
