An unnamed but reportedly “well-placed” Israeli official is telling the media that Israel will not launch any military attack on Iran until the P5+1 talks have ending, saying that “of course” they will have to wait until the talks end.
The official said Western powers made it clear there would be five rounds of talks, and with the Moscow talks over that means two more rounds are left, including next month’s Istanbul talks and another, as yet unscheduled round. He added that the assumption was that there would be no serious progress until the fifth round, and that the other four were just “posturing.”
The position is starkly different from those taken by named Israeli officials on the record, as they have insisted all along that they were liable to launch an attack on Iran at any time, including right in the middle of the negotiations, and indications that the military was “super ready” to attack Iran at a moment’s notice.
If what today’s official said is true that means the past threats, as well as the feigned outrage at additional rounds of negotiation after the first one, were all posturing as well, with Israel perfectly aware that the talks would be extended and were already resigned to waiting it out.
It also brings the timetable for the oft-threatened war into greater focus. With round four scheduled for early July, round five is likely to be in late July or early August, meaning that once again the 2-3 month period ahead of the US elections, often termed the “sweet spot” for the war, will also mark the end of this round of negotiations.
Israels blackmail of the World continues. Their undeclared arsenal of WMD is ready, Israels Goebles like propaganda machine working overtime, provocations in form of assacinations of Palestine people goes on….in short "anexation proces and ethnic cleansing goes according planes". US sponsors actively every crime against humanity….
2012 may be the year for fullfilment of "end time prophessis", fanatism and messianic visions are presented by "media prostitutes" as correct and standart, very soon can whole humanity face this duo of "axis of pure evil" and tottaly brainwashed big part of "people" will be able see "face" of Evil. By the end of this year may "santa claus" prepare suprice for all and it may not be pretty…..
If we could see "face" of God depends on owr antiwar activities and opposition to NWO satanic machine actively every day….
tHEY WON'T STRIKE iRAN UNTIL THEY HAVE THE ASSURED SUPPORT OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST TERRORISTS – THE USA.
Why no nukes in Israel
(1)In self defense the Gaza Army fires rockets and as small and harmless as they be, one could hit an A-bomb and accidentally start World War Three.
(2) Western powers created Israel to terrorize the Middle-East, not to terrorize the Western world with the thought that Zionist fanatics might turn Israel into a nuclear loose cannon.
(3) Empire USA is addicted to greed, with perfect harmony between Israel, our 51% most wealthy, High Society and our military, each having no desire, need or ability to control the other.
The Syrians shooting down that Turkish warplane might have done the world a favour – given the relative wealth of Syria and Iran and given who has probably sold air defence systems to both, it is likely that Iranian air defences are are as good if not better than Syrian. Hopefully, Israel will take away the message that it might be humiliated if it attacked Iran. Just imagine the damage to Israel's unearned reputation if every single or more likely most Israeli aircraft in an attack on Iran were shot down. Do the Israelis really know enough about Iranian air defences to make certain this doesn't happen? I doubt it.
Israel actually refraining from attacking somebody – for a little while ? What a model of self-restraint for the rest of the nations of the world! No wonder they are the Chosen People'.
Cowards and bullies never hit someone who could hit them back. Israel is a coward bully country just like its colony, the USA. Israel hit Iran alone? Don't make me laugh. They're too scared because they'd get their butts kicked bad and they know it, nukes or no nukes.
I'm not impressed by this socialist apartheid state at all. All I've ever seen them do is shoot kids and dogs and women in the back. Try doing that to a nation like Persia who hasn't given an inch of their borders in over 400 years.
What I am afraid of is America and its braindead hillbilly hicks running around bombing nations and going toe to toe with persia. THAT bothers me. We are all hanging on by a thread.
Israel has a beatdown coming like no other…there will be no empathy, or crocodile tears for this terrorist state. What will be said is "it is about time"…
The numerous talks about an Israeli attack on Iran are plain nonsense and bluffs. Israel couldn’t even beat Hezbollah, a ragtag guerrilla outfit.
Israel won't attack Iran at all. Nettanyahoo is crazy but no fool. How else can a country of 6 or 7 million defeat a country with over 80 million? With illegal WMD and slaughter amounting to genocide of the Iranian people.
No, these embarrassing terrorist A-holes we have the misfortune of being responsible for won't do it.
Yes you scumbags in Israel.. go ahead and attack Iran. It’ll give the Iranians legitimate reason to kick out the IAEA inspectors and quickly put a nuke together. Then who’ll be laughing.
NO..!!! Eddie No one will be laughing……….. First, any use of a crude low power nuke by Iran will be met by a sophisticated genocidal thermonuclear answer…. And… Just because Israel' psychopathic leaders [like our] attack other nations, we should take no delight in the misery they bring on their own beleaguered citizens………..
What makes you think they can only muster a 'low power nuke'? Also you seem to have bought the propaganda that should Iran have a nuke, they'd be the first to use it in an attack. As for Israel's 'beleaguered citizens', would that be the 'beleaguered' 90% who supported the attack on Gaza?
Well if the US goes to war with Iran there will be war with Syria and Egypt and the whole arab world. Exactly what the zionists planned. If something happens in lebanon or syria or egypt in the meantime, then Iran may be able to be on the sidelines while America, Israel and the arab world duke it out. There are so many variables to factor in that it seems almost impossible to come out of it clean.
It's analogous to and , bear with me, it's analogous to a pilot maneuvering his plane through all these twists and obstacles and expecting to make a safe landing for himself and everybody on board. America is being pushed to her limits. If she can get out of this pickle then she will really be the greatest nation on earth. You have to be very intelligent and skilled to come out of this unscathed.
Continue to support the bandit state while it further becomes an apartheid state, continue to drone pakistan, yemen, somalia, afghanistan etc. Continue to stifle the egyptian population, continue to destabilize the syrian population and NOT have any blowback? These are some of the largest acts of aggression ever. More than we've ever done ever. More than the cold war and more than WW2.
It wont end well for the US. No blowback even though we destroyed libya, and pakistan, and syria and egypt and Iran? Iran is next. You better beleive it.
