Israel silent on rehearsal for Iran war Press
TV Israel declines to elaborate on its early June military exercise, which is believed to have been launched in preparation for war with Iran. A New York Times report published Friday quoted Pentagon officials as saying that over 100 Israeli F-16s and F-15s staged a maneuver over the eastern Mediterranean and Greece in the first week of June. According to the report, the Israeli jets flew more than 900 miles, roughly the distance from Israeli airfields to an Iranian nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz. The exercise also consisted of refueling tankers and helicopter operations for rescuing downed pilots.
(Article continues below) In a statement released on Friday, the Israeli military claimed that the air force 'regularly trains for various missions in order to confront and meet the challenges posed by the threats facing Israel'. When asked to elaborate on the issue, Mark Regev, spokesman for Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert, provided no information other than that provided by the military statement. In a recent interview, Ehud Olmert said the current international sanctions against Iran would probably not yield a positive result for Israel.
