Israel braces itself --and the US-- for WWIII:

Ayalon: Iran's nuclear plan under new leader must be stopped
By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Ambassador Daniel Ayalon said Iran must be stopped from developing nuclear weapons and that task should be assigned to the UN Security Council.

"The clock is ticking," Ayalon said Monday, "and time is not on our side."

President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed on Sunday to pursue a peaceful nuclear program - an effort the United States maintains is really a cover for trying to build atomic bombs - and said his government would not be an extremist one.

Speaking to The Israeli Project, a private group committed to Israel's security, Ayalon said he did not see much of a difference between Ahmadinejad and other Iranian candidates.

They all support terror and advocate a nuclear weapons program, he said. But, the ambassador said, Ahmadinejad was "an extreme candidate" with a higher degree of extremism than his rivals.

"Iran must be stopped," Ayalon said.

Ayalon also questioned whether the election was a free one. On Sunday, Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said Israel also believes the election was undemocratic.

The Bush administration for months has warned it might ask the UN Security Council to impose economic and political sanctions on Iran to halt its nuclear weapons program.

But, at the same time, the administration has backed the European Union in seeking a negotiated settlement with Tehran.
