Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel: We Must Be Prepared to Strike Iran

HeadlineFeb 22, 2005

In other news on Iran, the Commander-in-Chief of the Israeli Air Force said Monday that Israel must be prepared to carry out an air strike on Iran in light of its alleged nuclear activity. This according to a report in the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz. Major General Eliezer Shakedi made the comments during a meeting with reporters. Shakedi would not say whether he thought Israel was capable of carrying out such an attack alone. In 1981 Israeli forces bombed an unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor near Baghdad.
