ISRAEL is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear plants if faced with a revenge attack for the death of a top Tehran commander last week.
Netanyahu‘s war cabinet has been locked in crunch meetings over fears that Iran will launch an assault as Middle East tensions threaten to boil over into all-out war.
Now a Western security official has revealed that Israel will respond to any attacks by striking Iran‘s nuclear targets directly.
Israeli forces have been conducting secret air force drills in preparation for the dangerous escalation, Elaph News reports.
Iran is home to several nuclear sites – including power plants, uranium mines and research reactors.
A targeted attack against one of them could mark an unprecedented escalation in the melting pot of Middle East conflict.
