MOSCOW – Israel’s Defense Forces stated that four Israeli jets destroyed anuclear facility in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor in 2007.

Dr. Taleb Ibrahim, a Syrian political analyst and deputy director of theDamascus Centre for Strategic Analysis has said that the Israelis are lyingbecause what they bombed in 2007 was not a nuclear facility because it isvery well known that Syria doesn’t have such kinds of facilities andactually there isn’t any nuclear program in Syria.

They targeted a certain military base in Syria under the pretextof attacking a nuclear facility, so because of that at the present timethey are revealing that to send a signal to Iran that they are readyto bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities and the Israeli air force is ableto reach any place in the region;

I think this is only a message of deterrence against Iran or physiologicaldeterrence against Iran, not any more.

He while talking to Sputnik has said *Israel is not able to bomb Iran’snuclear facilities* because Iranian nuclear facilities are buried in thedepth of the ground in remote places, this is first, because when Israelbombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1982 and when they bombed Syria’sfacility, that attack gave a message to the Iranian leadership thatsomething might happen in Iran.
