Israeli officials will urge the Biden administration to take military action against Iran during talks in Washington this week, three Israeli TV broadcasters reported on Sunday night.
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz and David Barnea, the head of the Mossad spy agency, are headed to Washington this week. The TV reports said the two officials will push for the US to develop a “plan B” on Iran that involves harsher sanctions and military action.
Last week, the US and Iran resumed indirect negotiations to revive the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA. The talks concluded Friday and are expected to continue sometime this week. But the US has been claiming Iran is not serious about the process, and the Israelis see an opportunity to convince the US to take a harder line.
Israel’s Channel 12 reported that the potential target would not be a nuclear facility inside Iran but rather a site like an Iranian base in Yemen, although Iran has no bases in Yemen. The report also said Barnea is expected to tell the Biden administration that Israel must continue covert attacks on Iran’s civilian nuclear program.
In November, The New York Times reported that the US warned Israel against covert attacks on Iran, calling them counterproductive. But Israeli officials said they have no intention of “letting up” even though such attacks have only caused Iran to advance its nuclear program.
Since the JCPOA talks resumed, Israeli officials have stepped up their threats against Iran. On Sunday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog warned that Israel will keep “all options on the table” regarding the so-called “threat” posed by Iran.
Israeli officials have also made their opposition to the negotiations known to the Biden administration. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett told Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the US should “immediately halt” the talks and increase the pressure on Iran.
The world is already in chaos. Zionists are for more so that they can profit further from further chaos and may be even war.America their loyal slave will send their boys and girls to fight and die for them. Of course America has no option other than obeying the commands from its master.Slaves’ fate are to be decided by the master
To “Warthog” and Joji:
This political issue has nothing whatever to do with “Zionist(s)” — the anti-Semite’s code word for Jewish or Jews.
The political issue is ENTIRELY about Zionism, and anyone asserting it has to do with “Jewish” or “Jews” is engaging in anti-Semitism, whether they’re doing so in the form of inveighing against Jews, or falsely pretending to represent Jews.

The logic behind it: Israel alone cannot end Iran’s production of enriched U235.
I think the world would rather see a nuclear-armed Iran instead of a nuclear-armed Israel. Iran has played it by the book while Israel and its lapdog the USA is ALWAYS attacking(covertly) and threatening Iran, not the other way around. All the money Israel gets from USA taxpayers and now they want America to spill its young blood for them also? Iran has clearly stated that it does NOT want nuclear weapons and over the years this has been confirmed. And the “foremost exporter of terrorism in the world” description of Iran is LAUGHABLE when you consider the records of the USA and Israel in funding and training REAL “terrorists”(mercenaries). If you want a blueprint for how Israel and the USA treat other nations, just take a look at the battered skeleton called SYRIA!
“Israel and its lapdog the USA is ALWAYS attacking(covertly)”
Since Israel has promised to continue with the attacks, I think the term “covertly” should no longer be used.
The “world” would like to see every Israeli dead or expelled-but that is not going to happen so fast.
Aw. Poor little Israel can’t fight big, bad Iran by themselves, despite having a world class military, but inferior tactics? Well, screw ’em. Iran is only a threat to Israel’s expansionist goals in Syria and Lebanon. Keep to yer borders, little one, and you won’t have a problem.
Reports: Israeli Officials to Urge US to Attack Iran
Zionists will fight Iran to the last American!
Israel is an outfit running amok.This rouge state will take the whole world to doom. Unfortunately there is no one to pin down this thug
Why doesn’t Israel attack Iran if that is what they want?
Please explain.
Because they are bunch of cowards…!
Benny Gantz and David Barnea are wasting their time as their request would be rejected since US is busy preparing to attack Russia…!
Fight them yourselves or gtfo. You think you have what it takes to wreck Iran? Okay, go for it- f around and find out what a big mistake you’ve made.
@#$%^
It’s more than that. They’re going to Washington to tell them, “if you don’t attack them, we will”
They have been urging this for decades. It won’t happen. Everyone knows Iran can sink the Fifth Fleet in a matter of days, if not hours depending on how crowded they are willing to make Hormuz. This is just bloviation.
