According to American defense officials, an Israeli attack on Iran's
nuclear sites would be a highly complex operation. Apparently Israeli
jets would have to refuel in the air en route, fight off Iran's air
defenses and attack multiple underground sites simultaneously. Former
CIA director, Michael V. Hayden, said that airstrikes capable of
seriously setting back Iran's nuclear program were "beyond the
capacity" of Israel, in part because of the distance that attack
aircraft would have to travel and the scale of the task.
