In the wake of the Islamic Republic's missile test, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has warned Iran that Israel will not hesitate to resort to military action.

Terming Iran's action as "a challenge not only for Israel but for the entire world," Barak was quoted Thursday by Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth as saying that "Israel is the strongest country in the region, and it has proven in the past that it is not afraid to act when its vital interests are threatened."

In June, US newspaper The New York Times reported that US military believed Israel's a major military exercise in early June was a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran's nuclear sites.

Some American officials said the Israeli exercise appeared to be an effort to develop the military's capacity to carry out long-range strikes and to demonstrate the seriousness with which Israel views Iran's nuclear program.

However, some Iranian observers believed that Israel and the United States were only staging a psychological war in order to influence the decision-making of the Iranian government.

"At least during the past two months, the United States and Israel, despite their rhetorics, were not in a position to launch an attack on Iran," Iranian daily Ettela'at on Saturday quoted Mohammad Ali Mohtadi, an Iranian political commentator, as saying.

"The reason is that it has been proved that Iran is very serious in its intention of self-defense and of maintaining its rights," Mohtadi said. "There is no doubt that any offense on Iran will devour the entire Middle East as well as the global interests."

"Therefore, the probability of war is almost impossible," he said.

The United States and its allies accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, but Iran denied the US charges and insists that its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes.

The US administration said it focused on diplomacy to try to resolve Iran's nuclear issue, but has insisted it will take "no option off the table."

A Pentagon official told The Sunday Times in London this week that Bush has given Israel an "amber light" to begin preparations for a military attack on Iran.

"Amber means get on with your preparations, stand by for immediate attack and tell us when you are ready," the unidentified Pentagon official was quoted as saying.

But the Israelis have also been told that they can expect no help from American forces and will not be able to use US military bases in Iraq for logistical support, according to the report.

Nor is it certain that Bush's amber light would ever turn to green without irrefutable evidence of lethal Iranian hostility, The Sunday Times said.

"It's really all down to the Israelis," the Pentagon official said, adding that "Israel had not so far presented Bush with a convincing military proposal."
