US officials have been warning Israel off of planned attacks on Iran for months now, and having dissuaded them from attacking before the US presidential election, the US military is now cautioning that an Israeli attack would be really inconvenient to America’s own plans for attack.
That’s because the US forces in the region are reliant on a number of small Persian Gulf states and would need to use bases in those states to launch a possible US attack on Iran. But if Israel strikes first, those nations are liable to withdraw their support.
“They might support a massive war against Iran, but they know they are not going to get that,” one official noted. “They know a limited strike is not worth it, as it will not destroy the program and only make Iran angrier.”
This is in stark contrast to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims yesterday that he reckons an attack on Iran is something all the Arab nations would feel really good about. Israel and the US have been threatening to attack Iran off and on for about 30 years, but the far-right government in Israel seems really keen to actually do so at some point soon, and is expected to talk up a war even more with elections on the horizon.
where is the rest of the world on this warmongering ..state..
israel thinks it can run around the world and attack anyone that it wants anytime it wants….
china india russia…all the muslim world just sits there and does nothing….
is the rest of the world just cowards???????
these people need that a s s e s kick to the moon…
In reply to your post, jinx77, the US Government must show true leadership for the rest of the world to see by taking any plans for aggressive war against Iran off the table. In addition, a stern warning must be given to ISRAHELL and its Prime Minister – Benjamin Netanyahu – not to attack Iran; and, if they do, attack, that the US will NOT lend any support; but, instead, withdraw ALL military forces from the Mideast and Central Asia; and, ISRAHELL will be totally on its own as it suffers Iran's wrath.
The Zionist leaders are totally psychopathic; they don't give a hoot about even their own citizens, much less the rest of the world. If they did care, they would never threaten the entire world with nuclear destruction with their demonic "Samson Option". These leaders have been threatening this option since they built their nuclear arsenal years ago,
You're absolutely right, jinx77; ISRAHELL is the most dangerous entity on Earth, not Iran. ISRAHELL's the only nuclear power in the Middle East; that says it all. And, how did they obtain the materials needed for building this arsenal? By assassinating the late President John F. Kennedy – who opposed them getting a nuclear bomb – and stealing a whole supply of nuclear materials from a facility in Western Pennsylvania. This is the country we're dealing with,
a rotten spoiled brat, indulgent mother US does not wish to punish the wretched blot
an iranian false flag on us/arab facilities would change all that, no?
Israel won't attack Iran, they will
just start it for the US by either a false flag operation or by forcing the US goverment to do so by its control of the press and congress. Israel's main aim (now) is to grab southern Lebanon up to the Latani river. They will "help" the US in the war they made for us by attacking Lebanon with all those small bunker buster bombs that the US gave them. They can then occupy, settle and the annex, after all there are no people there, alive that is.
The US and Israel, the criminal twins, speak so openly about their plans to attack a sovereign nation that is a threat to nobody. Why doesn't the UN denounce this breach of international law? Fine, then the US and Israel shouldn't start whining when the rest of us take the law into our own hands. We do have the right to defend ourselves regardless of what the criminal twins and their lackeys in Europe and other parts of the world may say.
How did the US get to this point?
Funny that war criminal Netanyahu should consider what Arab nations, all Arab nations would feel good about. he only forgets that if there is something they would feel even better about, that would be the total destruction of the illegal State of Israel.
The main problem is that the Pentagon aims to achieve a Disarming First Strike Capability (see Bob Aldridge -www.plrc.org-The Counterforce Syndrome, etc.). That´s the reason GPS (NAVSTAR) was made ! All this leads to Launch On Warning by 2017. And it will all be a mistake because of the bloody fools in the Pentagon (General Harbottle).
C'mon boyz, no need to trip over each other on the way to the illegal invasion.
