Sunday Times: Israel plans nuclear strike against Iran

Today's Sunday London Times is going with a mighty scary story:

Revealed: Israel plans nuclear strike on Iran

The plans, disclosed to The Sunday Times last week, have been prompted in part by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad’s assessment that Iran is on the verge of producing enough enriched uranium to make nuclear weapons within two years.

Israeli military commanders believe conventional strikes may no longer be enough to annihilate increasingly well-defended enrichment facilities. Several have been built beneath at least 70ft of concrete and rock. However, the nuclear-tipped bunker-busters would be used only if a conventional attack was ruled out and if the United States declined to intervene, senior sources said.



Though this isn't particularly surprising. Iran has vowed the destruction of Israel. Israel has openly stated that Iran will never have nuclear weapons. The sum total of which is that peace of any kind is still on the distant horizon.
