Dr. Raphael Ofek, who had served for decades in the Israeli intelligence community claims that Israel can attack its enrichment facilities alone, without assistance from the US.
The process of uranium enrichment to 90% purity has no other purpose for Iran other than the production of nuclear weapons. According to a recent IAEA report, as of this past October Iran had amassed 62.3 kg of 60% purity uranium. After this amount is enriched to 90% purity, it can be used to create at least two nuclear bombs.
The current state of disillusionment in the US and in Western Europe regarding Iran’s nuclear conduct on the one hand, and the anti-government riots in the country on the other – is quite suitable for attacking Iranian enrichment facilities.
