This was recently in the London Sunday Times (now owned by Murdoch)
ISRAEL'S armed forces have been ordered by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister, to
be ready by the end of March for possible strikes on secret uranium enrichment
sites in Iran, military sources have revealed.
The order came after Israeli intelligence warned the government that Iran was
operating enrichment facilities, believed to be small and concealed in civilian
locations.
Iran's stand-off with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over
nuclear inspections and aggressive rhetoric from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the
Iranian president, who said last week that Israel should be moved to Europe,
are causing mounting concern.
The crisis is set to come to a head in early March, when Mohamed El-Baradei,
the head of the IAEA, will present his next report on Iran. El-Baradei, who
received the Nobel peace prize yesterday, warned that the world was "losing
patience" with Iran.
A senior White House source said the threat of a nuclear Iran was moving to
the top of the international agenda and the issue now was: "What next?" That
question would have to be answered in the next few months, he said.
Defence sources in Israel believe the end of March to be the "point of no
return" after which Iran will have the technical expertise to enrich uranium in
sufficient quantities to build a nuclear warhead in two to four years.
