ISRAEL DEFENCE MINISTER WARNS IRAN OF DESTRUCTION

Shaul Mofaz, the Israeli defence minister, has made it clear that once Iran gets too close to a nuclear capability, Israel will take it out with heavy weapons, if not nukes of their own.

"....we cannot tolerate a nuclear option for Iran and we must prepare ourselves," Mr Mofaz said. "We must develop the option of our defence with all that implies."

He then issued a rhetorical plea to the Iranian leader.

Mofaz made a direct plea to the Iranian president : "You, who are leading your country....you had better take a glance at history and see what became of tyrants like you who tried to annihilate the Jewish people. They brought only destruction upon their own people."
