A day after meeting President Bush at Texas, Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon clearly stated that Israel was not planning any ‘unilateral’ attack on Iran to demolish its nuclear weapon programme while speaking to the US television network, CNN. He said "Of course we exchange intelligence, we exchange views, we discuss (these) issues, but it's not that we are planning any military attack on Iran."
Mr. Sharon, however, said that the international community ought to be warned against Iran’s nuclear weapon intentions as Iran had been making all possible efforts to develop a nuclear program. According to Israeli media, Mr. Sharon even proved his point by showing satellite images that illustrated Iran’s nuclear strategies.
He said that although Iran was far from developing a nuclear programme in the recent years, it could just take a few months for it to overcome its technical obstacles in building a nuclear programme. The point where Iran would solve all its technical issues would be the ‘point of no return’ for Iran, according to Prime Minister Sharon.
Nevertheless, Sharon reiterated that Israel would not lead the struggle against Iran for the nuclear weapon programme and said that an international coalition headed by the United States would be the best way to combat the Iranian nuclear threat and prevent Iran from producing nuclear weapons.
