In other news, the New York Times reports President Bush deflected a secret request by Israel last year for specialized bunker-busting bombs it wanted for an attack on Iran’s main nuclear complex. Israel also asked for refueling equipment that would allow their aircraft to reach Iran and return to Israel. And they asked for the right to fly over Iraq. The Times also reveals new information about how President Bush authorized covert action inside Iran to sabotage Iran’s suspected effort to develop nuclear weapons. Part of the covert program involved renewed American efforts to penetrate Iran’s nuclear supply chain abroad, along with new efforts to undermine electrical systems, computer systems and other networks on which Iran relies.
