The Ministry of Defence believes the U.S. may decide to fast-forward plans for targeted missile strikes at some key Iranian facilities. British officials say that if Washington presses ahead it will seek, and receive, UK military help for any mission.

In addition, officials now believe Iran has restored all the capability it lost in a sophisticated cyber-attack last year due to the Stuxnet computer worm. Another Whitehall official said that within the next 12 months Iran may have hidden all the material it needs to continue a covert weapons program inside fortified bunkers. "Beyond [12 months], we couldn't be sure our missiles could reach them," the source said. "So the window is closing." 2011-11-03 00:00:00Full Article
