While the world has been vacillating over how best to respond to untempered Iranian belligerency and Tehran's defiant pursuit of nuclear weapons, the champion of Islamic states has already acquired enough material to manufacture its first atomic bomb.

This news, breaking in the New York Times Thursday, moved Israel closer than ever towards military confrontation with the fanatics ruling Tehran

According to the reports, citing a number of nuclear experts, their conclusion was based on accumulated data indicating Iran has already produced enough nuclear material to build a bomb.

Israel's Air Force pilots have been training for months to carry out a successful seek and destroy operation against Iran's nuclear facilities.

On Tuesday, IAF commander Maj. -Gen. Ido Nehushtan told the German magazine Der Spiegel Israel is "ready to do whatever is demanded of us" in order to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Pundits in Israel and the United States have pondered the possibility of Israel launching an attack before US President-Elect Barack Obama enters the White House on January 20.

A number of assessments have ruled out the effectivity of any air attack, citing the reinforced underground locations of Iran's facilities and the fact that the sites are scattered over a large part the country.

For its part, however, Israel has emphatically-declared it will "not allow" Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.
