Israel preparing all options on Iran

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel is readying all options to try to force Iran to halt its atomic program, Israel's top general told a parliamentary panel on Tuesday, an official said.[...]

"We are readying all the options and decision-makers will have to consider which paths to take" to stop Iran's nuclear development, Gabi Ashkenazi, chief-of-staff of Israel's armed forces told parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

Hinting Israel was still weighing a military option to stop what Israel sees as a plan to produce nuclear weapons -- which Iran denies -- Ashkenazi suggested diplomatic or economic sanctions may also help.

"If the Iranians understand they will have to pay a steep price, it wouldn't be illogical or unreasonable to say they may change their current direction," the official quoted Ashkenazi as saying.

That's the problem though. The Iranian government is no logical or reasonable. More like hell bent on making nukes.
