Former Mossad Chief Warns That Threat Of Attack May Hasten An Iranian Bomb | Former Mossad chief Meir Dagan added to his previous criticisms of an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities at a conference on Iran’s nuclear program and Israeli decision making today. Dagan said he believed the use of military force should “be on the table, but not as a first option. The commotion surrounding the immediate alternative of an attack may lead the Iranians into a reality in which they are [pushed over the edge] and try to obtain nuclear capabilities as quickly as possible instead of trading rather carefully while taking the international community’s demands into consideration.”
