Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran

Chapter 1 Predawn sortie

Three F35 stealth jet fighters took off the Israeli air base aiming at the east before dawn on 20xx/x/x. In case of ordinary exercise, the jet fighters used to head for the west and flew over the Mediterranean. If the fighters head for the east, they would fly over Jordan and reach Saudi Arabia or Iraq within ten minutes. It means that they would violate the territorial sky of three countries. But they didn’t mind it.

 

Three jets immediately zoomed after taking off. They shifted to the level flight when they reached the high degree 10,000 meters. They did not hesitate the invasion of territorial sky of Saudi Arabia or Iraq. They continued to take the course in due east. Their operation plan is like this: To keep high altitude until they reach their target, and to rush into by a super-low sky near the target. After they bombed the target, they zoom again, and return to base by the high degree 10,000 meters. It is called 'High-low-low-high operation' by the strategy term.

 

Laser-guided bomb ‘Bunker busters’ were installed beneath the wing. Global Positioning System (GPS) set the target as Natanz located in the 200 miles south of Teheran in Iran. The distance to the target is about 2,000 kilometers from Israel. In Natanz, the enriched uranium is being manufactured by several thousand of centrifugal separators. All of the facilities are in the underground trench of ten meters or more in depth. It is one of the most important ones for the development of nuclear weapon.

 

In addition to Natanz, there are two other nuclear-related facilities in Isfahan and Arak respectively. In Isfahan to produce uranium hexafluoride are operating, which is necessary to centrifuge the uranium. And a heavy water plant and a plutonium production furnace are operating in Arak. When these three facilities operate in harmony, Iran is possible to get nuclear weapons. It is the ninth in the world after US, UK, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea. Taking a well-known fact into consideration, Israel has the nuclear weapon. If so, Iran becomes the tenth holder of nuclear weapon. Israel does not deny nor confirm that it has the nuclear weapon. As long as Israel takes such a fuggy attitude, it is intangible threat against Arab and Muslim countries.

 

On the other hand, if overlooking Iran's nuclear program, Israel will lose its superiority. At that very moment Israel found a great opportunity to attack the Iranian nuclear facility. The Republican President of the United States has unilaterally withdrawn from the nuclear deal with Iran. And U.S. imposed economic sanctions against Iran. At the same time, the President asked several Arab countries to have the diplomatic ties with Israel. U.S. also withdrew military force from the Middle East. As a result, the power balance in the Middle East was disrupted.

 

Taking this opportunity, Iran resumed enrichment of uranium and aimed to achieve the enough level for the practical nuclear weapons. Iran crossed the red line. It was unacceptable to both the Israeli army and the domestic ultra-right nationalists. They believe that they themselves are the most superior mankind in the history. They think that the Arabs and Persians in neighboring countries are inferior peoples. Israelis pay respect only the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) in the United States. Israel beat completely the Arabs in Middle East wars. They concluded the peace treaty with several Arab countries such as UAE and Sudan through the mediation by the United States. They have succeeded in dividing the Arabs.

 

The strategy against Persians is similar to that of Arabs. Israel never allows for Iran to stand with them. But the newly elected President of the United States changed the climate overwhelmingly. New President condemned the expansion of Israeli settlements. He has also proposed to return to nuclear negotiations, though it was hard and complicated.

 

Israel was irritated with the harsh stance of the new US administration. At the same time they thought that it was the big chance to hit Iran where nuclear weapons were under development. It was the majority opinion of Israeli army that Iran should be attacked now.

 

Such political or socio-economic issues were nothing to do with pilots who was heading for the Natanz. Now they got excited. Israel has several experiences of air strikes in the past. Israel once bombed on alleged nuclear facilities in Iraq and on the Hizballah camp in southern Lebanon. Both targets were in neighboring countries and not so long distance from air base in Israel. However, Natanz is far away from Israel beyond Arabian Peninsula. Three pilots trembled with excitement.
