Israel must be prepared to carry out an air strike against Iran's nuclear program, Shakedi said Monday. But in a meeting with reporters, Shakedi wouldn't say whether he thought Israel was capable of carrying out such a mission alone, as it did when it bombed an unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor near Baghdad in 1981.(AP Photo/Israeli Defense Force)
