Israeli ambassador hints at surprise attack later this week

"We've pulled off a number of surprises. When the dust settles, you're going to see some surprises on Thursday night and Friday that will make the beeper operation almost seem simple," Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to Washington told Merit TV on Monday in an interview.

Leiter suggested only the United States had the air power to knock out a formidable underground nuclear facility in Iran from the sky.

“In order for Fordow to be taken out by a bomb from the sky, the only country in the world that has that bomb is the United States," he said.

"That’s a decision the United States has to take, whether or not it chooses to actually pursue that course,” he said.
