JERUSALEM - Israel's defense minister hinted Saturday that the Jewish state is preparing for military action to stop Iran's nuclear program, but said international diplomacy must be the first course of action.

"Israel will not be able to accept an Iranian nuclear capability and it must have the capability to defend itself, with all that that implies, and this we are preparing," Shaul Mofaz said.

Israel bombed an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981 to keep Saddam from getting nukes and is certainly capable of launching a similar strike against Iran.
