Report: Economic crisis has ruled out war and in favor of a nuclear Iran

Special to WorldTribune.com

TEL AVIV — The international community has been deterred from an
attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, a report said.

A report by a leading Israeli investment company concluded that an
attack on Iran by either Israel or the United States was not feasible.

Clal Finance, in a report titled “The Iranian Issue Through Economic Eyes,” said
any war on Iran would endanger the global energy market as well as trade.

“Unfortunately, it appears that a nuclear Iran is the most reasonable
scenario,” the report said.

The report, released on Nov. 10, cited repercussions from any attack on
Iran. They included Iranian missile attacks as well as operations by such
proxies as Hamas, Hizbullah and Islamic Jihad.

Author Amir Kahanovich said the international community, strapped by the
economic crisis, could respond with sanctions. Kahanovich, chief economist
at Clal, said Iran was prepared to fire missiles as well as order strikes by
its proxies.
