Einmal eine etwas die Lage entspannendere Aussage (obgleich natürlich die Frage bleibt, inwieweit, wenn von einem "offenen Showdown" abgesehen wird, der Showdown ums iranische Atomprogramm im Geheimen weiter vorangetrieben wird). Auf der anderen Seite ist dies auch eine interessante Aussage von jemandem, dem gerne aggressives Gehabe unterstellt wurde...

Zitat:Former Mossad chief: Israel air strike on Iran 'stupidest thing I have ever heard'<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/former-mossad-chief-israel-air-strike-on-iran-stupidest-thing-i-have-ever-heard-1.360367">http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-d ... d-1.360367</a><!-- m -->
In first public appearance since leaving post as Mossad chief, Meir Dagan warns of regional war if Iran is attacked; says fall of Assad regime would benefit Israel. [...]
Dagan said that Iran has a clandestine nuclear infrastructure which functions alongside its legitimate, civil infrastructure. It is the legitimate infrastructure, he said, that is under international supervision by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Any strike on this legitimate infrastructure would be "patently illegal under international law," according to Dagan.
Dagan emphasized that attacking Iran would be different than Israel's successful air strike on Iraq's nuclear reactor in 1981. Iran has scattered its nuclear facilities in different places around the country, he said, which would make it difficult for Israel to launch an effective attack. [...]
When asked about what would happen in the aftermath of an Israeli attack Dagan said that: "It will be followed by a war with Iran. It is the kind of thing where we know how it starts, but not how it will end."
