Attack Iran later, ex-military intel warns

JERUSALEM, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- An attack by Israel on Iran's nuclear sites would be premature and wouldn't have international legitimacy, a retired Israeli military intelligence chief said.
Retired Maj. Gen. Aharon Ze'evi Farkash said an Israeli attack against Iran's nuclear facilities could take place soon, but current military leaders likely wouldn't want to launch such a campaign before the U.S. presidential elections Nov. 6, The Jerusalem Post first reported Friday.
"I think that within this window it is difficult to imagine that something will happen a month before elections," said Farkash, a 40-year veteran of Israel's military intelligence service.
