Israel can carry out a successful strike on Iran’s nuclear sites as early as “tomorrow”, the incoming Air Force chief said yesterday.

“Israel could successfully strike Iran’s nuclear programme tomorrow, if necessary,” said Major General Tomer Bar, who will command Israel’s air force in April, according to the Jerusalem Post.

“I have to assume it will happen in my time, and my shoulders already understand the weight of the responsibility,” he added.

He stressed that Israel can successfully destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying: “There is no way that we will operate there, one thousand kilometres from here, and I will return home without being able to say ‘I completed the mission.’”
