(AP) — Israel's defense minister hinted Thursday that Israel was ready to attack Iran's nuclear program, saying it didn't balk before "when its vital security interests" were at stake.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak's allusion to Israel's 1981 airstrike on an unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor came at a time of intensified tensions between Israel and its archenemy, Iran.

Tehran launched war games and tests of a long-range missile this week after saying Tel Aviv would be "set on fire" if Israel were to attack Iran.

"Israel is the strongest country in the region and has proved in the past that it doesn't hesitate to act when its vital security interests are at stake," Barak told a meeting of his Labor Party.

But he quickly tempered his remarks, noting that "the reactions of enemies ... need to be taken into consideration as well."

Earlier in the day, Israel put its latest spy plane on display, in what defense officials said was a show of strength in response to Iran's war games and missile tests.

  how many years where these asshats at war with iraq for....10?  They faught to a stalemate lol and the iraqi army was surrendering to TV news crews during the first gulf war.
If Israel used ALL their military resourses they could roll over iran in hours, of course they will be worrying about civilian casualties, and of course iran will have the majority of its reactors and military in heavily populated areas...so they can cry about 'babies' being slaughtered....just like everytime, no matter if its day or night, when the US bombs a house in iraq there is a 'wedding party' going on, and its usually only men and children in attendance.... that in itself is disturbing.
