'The officials who spoke to The Daily Beast said the doubters weren't
seeing the whole picture. One alluded to advanced technology that Israel
possesses that could not be factored into the analysis of experts
because it remains secret. Others said some skepticism-from analysts or
even from government insiders-always preceded Israel's major operations,
including its 1981 attack on Iraq's nuclear plant.
One former Israeli official, speaking to a group of journalists
recently, also rejected the idea that Iran's response to an Israeli
attack would upend the region.'
"My assessment is that Iran will react but it will be calculated and
according to Iranian means. The Iranians cannot set the Middle East on
fire," the former official said. "It will not be the doomsday promises
of Iran... They do not have the capability to do what they threaten to
do."
Asked if Israel has the capability to deal a serious blow to Iran's
program, he said: "If not, why is everybody worried?"
