  TEL AVIV,
    Israel, May 26 (UPI) -- Israel has warned European and U.S. intelligence
    services of possible terrorist attacks sponsored by Iran during the World
    Cup, a Saudi newspaper reports. 
 Al-Watan said the aim of attacks by Hezbollah
    would be to demonstrate that Iran can retaliate if it is
    attacked. Recent reports have suggested that the United
     States has considered either conventional or nuclear
    air strikes on Iran's
    major nuclear facility if diplomatic efforts fail to end its nuclear
    program.
 
 Europe and the United
      States have reportedly set up a joint
    operations room to deal with threats during the World Cup.
 
 Germany
    has not received word on whether Iranian President Mahmoud
    Ahmadinejad plans to go to Nuremburg to watch his
    country's team play.
