Dichter: Military Action Might Be Necessary to Block Iran Nukes

IsraelNN.com | October 30, 2005

The former head of the Shin Bet security service told a Los Angeles conference on Sunday that the U.S. might have to attack Iran to prevent further nuclear development.

Avi Dichter told the pro-Israel AIPAC conference attendees that he does not believe Iran will end its nuclear development programs without considerable pressure from the U.S. and other Western nations.

Dichter reminded the audience that it was only years after Israel was condemned for attacking Iraq’s nuclear plant in 1981 that the international community realized how necessary to world peace that operation was.
