An American attack on Iran’s nukes would begin with “hundreds of cruise missiles” meant to demolish Iranian air defenses, intelligence facilities and radar stations, Israeli newspapers report.
The missile barrage would be followed by a wave of bunker-buster bombs dropped from B-52s that would destroy the nuclear facilities themselves.
“After the attack, an ultimatum would be issued to Iran to stop its military nuclear program immediately. In return, the West would supply it with peaceful nuclear reactors,” the Tel Aviv paper Maariv reported.
The bombshell revelations come days after Defense Secretary Leon Panetta visited Israel to assure government leaders that the United States will protect Israel from Iran’s nuclear plans.

But Israeli officials seemed unwilling to accept Panetta’s assurances that President Obama has their backs, media reports say.
“Obama will not attack Iran — never,” Netanyahu was quoted as telling Shaul Mofaz, the opposition leader. “In his second term, Obama will care even less about us than he cares now.”
I am very proud to have your trust in our III Arms Project, and that is where I am devoting my spare energy. I want our prototypes built, refined and ready for production ASAP. I often assign myself timelines that are too aggressive, but I want our first offering, our 1911, ready for production within 90 days. That’s my target. I hope I beat it. If we run a little longer, so be it. We won’t sacrifice quality for an artificial timeline I pulled out of the air.
