イスラエル・イラク上空を経由してのイラン空爆をアメリカと協議中(Haaretz)
イスラエルは現在、イラク上空を経由してのイラン空爆をアメリカと協議中と、イギリス・デイリーテレグラフ紙が報道。
イスラエル国防副大臣Ephraim Sneh は報道を否定しているが、デイリーテレグラフ紙によれば、匿名のイスラエル高級将校は協議が継続中であることを認める。
モサドはイランが核兵器開発に必要な核物質製造を終えるのは2009年と見積もり。
オルメルト首相は、モサド長官とモサドのイラン責任者の退役を、早くても2007年末まで延期。
オルメルト首相はまた、イラン空爆の司令官をすでに任命。
イランは国連決議を無視。イスラエルは過去にも、イラク原子炉に先制攻撃したことがある。

Report: Israel in talks with U.S. on 'air corridor' over Iraq to Iran
By Haaretz Service and Reuters
Israel is negotiating with the United States over permission for an "air corridor" over Iraq should an attack on that country's nuclear facilities become necessary, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.
Military authorities would need permission from the U.S. Department of Defense for any such operation, the report said.
Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh (Labor) denied Saturday that Israel was in negotiations with U.S. authorities on the issue.
"International authorities, particularly in the West, who want to avoid direct involvement with Iran are anxious to spread the story that we will strike Iran," Sneh told Israel Radio.
"Those who do not want to work politically, diplomatically and economically are diverting attention to the operation that we are said to be conducting," he said.
The report cited a senior Israeli defense official who said talks are currently underway between the two countries over the possibility that Jerusalem decides to take unilateral action to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
"We are planning for every eventuality, and sorting out issues such as these are crucially important," said the official, speaking under condition of anonymity.
"The only way to do this is to fly through U.S.-controlled air space. If we don't sort these issues out now we could have a situation where American and Israeli war planes start shooting at each other," he said.
Contingency planning has accelerated significantly, the newspaper said, since the beginning of the year in light of Mossad estimates that Iran could have the necessary amount of fissile material to produce a nuclear weapon by 2009.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last week announced that Meir Dagan, head of Mossad and a leading expert on Iran, would postpone his retirement until the end of 2007 at the earliest.
Olmert also handed over coordination of military aspects of the Iran nuclear issue to Israel Air Force Commander Eliezer Shkedy.
The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany will meet Monday in London for an emergency session on the matter. Officials will discuss arms control and a possible cutback in the $25 billion in export credits which European countries use to trade with Iran.
Iran ignored a UN deadline set for last Wednesday to stop its uranium enrichment.
This would not mark the first time IAF planes passed through Iraqi airspace. On June 17, 1981 an IAF air strike demolished the Osirak nuclear reactor being constructed under Saddam Hussein's regime.
