Israel Warns Attack on Iran Is Increasingly Likely 
---------------------------------------------------



Israeli President Shimon Peres warned on Sunday that an Israeli attack
on Iran is becoming increasingly likely. Peres' comments comes just days
before a highly anticipated report by the International Atomic Energy
Agency on Iran's nuclear program. According to the Washington Post, the
report will claim Iran has mastered the critical steps needed to build a
nuclear weapon. The IAEA report is also expected to state that Iran has
received crucial technical assistance from foreign weapon scientists
from Russia, Pakistan and North Korea. Meanwhile, the Israeli newspaper
Ha'aretz reports U.S. officials are increasingly concerned that Israel
will not warn them before taking military action against Iran's alleged
nuclear facilities. One officials said the United States is "absolutely"
concerned that Israel is preparing an attack on Iran’s nuclear
facilities.
