Angriff ist die beste Verteidigung - Zur Krise um das iranische Atomprogramm und die militärische Option Israels

Ralph Rotte

Abstract

This paper gives a short overview of the international crisis caused by Iran's uranium enrichment program. It concludes that, contrary to superficial impressions, the likelihood of a military strike by Israel against Iran's nuclear facilities has been increased by recent developments in the diplomatic efforts of the permanent UN Security Concil members, Germany and the EU.
