Thanks to the DEBKAfile, some interesting headlines that allude to preparations for - - an Israeli air strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, if and when the "go" order is given.

"Six Israeli airmen and a Romanian captain die in helicopter crash during joint exercise over Romanian mountains"

"Bodies of seven Israeli airmen, one Romanian captain found at Israeli helicopter crash site in Romania"

Israeli airmen, far from home, training for hazardous missions, involving low-level flying in mountainous terrain, aircrews training to bomb highly-protected facilities, presumably those "facilities" of a nuclear nature.

In this particular instance, Israeli and Romanian airmen losing their lives in a crash.

"Israel has been conducting joint air force exercises with NATO members Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, using big American Air Force bases in the first two countries . . . They also serve for practicing long-distance flights, an essential element in a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities."

Iranian nuclear facilities hidden in caves, located high in mountainous terrain, inaccessible and almost impossible to attack.

"in the last couple of years [Iran] has been blasting deep tunnels beneath mountain peaks more than 2,000 meters high for housing nuclear facilities"

"The drill in Romania took place at roughly the same altitude and in similar terrain that a US or Israeli air attack would expect to encounter in Iran."

High-risk air attacks being deemed necessary for which intensive training is required! The Carpathian mountains of central Europe being the ideal training ground for such a mission or missions.

Israeli has not given up on the military option to the perceived Iranian threat. Allowing the Iranian to develop and field nuclear weapons is not an option for the Israeli? Surely this crash and the tragic deaths of the Israeli airmen indicate that the military option is alive and well!
