Israel's covert war against Iran....

"...as an alternative to direct military strikes against Tehran's nuclear programme..."Basically, it's Israel's way of saying "No We Can't" .... In the Daily Telegraph, here
"...It is using hitmen, sabotage, front companies and double agents to disrupt the regime's illicit weapons project, the experts say.....The most dramatic element of the "decapitation" programme is the planned assassination of top figures involved in Iran's atomic operations. "Without military strikes, there is still considerable scope for disrupting and damaging the Iranian programme and this has been done with some success," said Yossi Melman, a prominent Israeli journalist who covers security and intelligence issues for the Haaretz newspaper...But Vince Canastraro, the former CIA counter-terrorism chief, expressed doubts about the efficacy of secret Israeli operations against Iran. "You cannot carry out foreign policy objectives via covert operations," he said. "You can't get rid of a couple of people and hope to affect Iran's nuclear capability." "
