Zakheim: Anti-Missile Defenses 99 Percent Likely to Protect Israel Against Iranian Attack
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Former U.S. undersecretary of defense Dov Zakheim said Monday that Israel's Arrow 2 ballistic missile defense system, combined with U.S. Navy Aegis missile defense ships in the Mediterranean, would likely succeed in intercepting an Iranian missile fired at Israel. "There is less than a 1% chance that an Iranian missile will get through these defenses." Zakheim said that, in his opinion, Israel did not have to attack Iran to stop its nuclear program.
