Hatzofeh says that the recent report in Britain’s Sunday Times that Israel is planning to attack Iran’s nuclear sites should not have surprised anyone. The editors believe that, „The free world, led by the US and European countries, and including the State of Israel, is consulting on how to prevent Iran from equipping itself with nuclear weapons and it may be assumed that they will act in concert when the day comes in order to fulfill this mission. The British newspaper’s ‘scoop’ was not new. As of now, Israel won’t be the only country to attack Iran.”
