Former Israeli chief of staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon said Friday that Western nations
and Israel have the ability to launch a military strike that will set back Iran's
nuclear program for many years.

Moshe Ya'alon, who retired last June after a 37-year military career, told an
audience in Washington on Thursday that Israel had the capacity to carry out a
military strike against Iran by itself.

Ya'alon told Channel 1 on Friday that he stood by his earlier comments, but he didn't
repeat his reported assertion that Israel had the capacity to attack Iran's nuclear
program alone.

"I spoke about the military option of the West, whether it's U.S. forces, NATO, also
the Israeli army that deal with the Iranian capability", Ya'alon said. "There is a
military capability that will set back the program for many years".

"In the West and in many places there is a baseless claim, in my eyes, that there
isn't an military ability, and thus it was important for me to make these remarks
clearly", Moshe Ya'alon said.

Ya'alon made the initial comments on Thursday in a question-and-answer session after
a speech he gave at the [Jewish] Hudson Institute, a Washington-based neocon
thinktank (http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Hudson_Institute).
