Iran and Washington’s Israeli option

Posted by Matt in July 3rd, 2008

Will Israel attack Iran? I see the probability of an Israeli attack at less than 50% with the Olmert government.

Olmert knows he needs to stop Iran from producing nuclear weapons, but he just doesn’t have the will to pull off an attack on Iran.

The bottom line - we need to wait for a new Israeli Prime Minister before an attack on Iran will take place.

From the article:

A recent ABC News report suggested that Israel might act before two “red lines” are reached.

The first would be the production by Iran of enough highly-enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb and the second would be its acquisition of a new Russian anti-aircraft system, the S-300.

	Will Israel Attack Iran Israel and its media increasingly fixate on military action against Iran. CNN's Atika Shubert reports. The Following is an article for the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) web site: Iran filed a U.N. Security Council complaint after an Israeli official threatened to attack its nuclear facilities. Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz, a former defense chief, told the daily Yediot Achronot on Friday that Israel would have no choice but to attack Iran given the failure of U.N. Security Council sanctions in curbing its nuclear program. The comments contributed to a record 9 percent hike in the price of oil, though they were disavowed by Jerusalem. Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaee, wrote to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon demanding a Security Council...

	Black Ops Colonel Says Israel WIll Attack Iran Brian Sullivan, an overly intense and eager FOX Business acolyte, substituted for Neil Cavuto last week. Good foot soldier that he is, Sullivan dutifully interviewed Lt. Col. Robert "Bob" Maginnis (USAF-Ret.), one of a number of stealth rapture Christians that FOX routinely depends upon to roil the waters and stridently call for yet another war. Maginnis - who had a long-time affiliation with the Family Research Council and appears regularly on an end-of-days radio show - was introduced merely as a person who writes for "Human Events." That's because FOX Business knows full well that no sane business person would give this guy the time of day if they understood that he has a secret apocalyptic agenda.

	Israel To Attack Iran from Iraq Israel denies pilots secretly training in Iraq Reuters Published: Saturday, July 12, 2008 JERUSALEM - An Israeli military spokesman described media reports as "utterly baseless" on Friday about Israeli warplanes secretly training in U.S.-controlled Iraq for possible attacks on neighbouring Iran. The Baghdad government and the Pentagon similarly played down a report, carried on the website of the Jerusalem Post and quoting an Iraqi news network, that Israeli jets were practising in Iraqi airspace and landing on U.S. air bases in the country. Issuing an official denial, the Israeli military spokesman said, "Reports about putative Israeli air force (IAF) activities in Iraq are utterly baseless."........

The Sunday Times reported at the beginning of the week that the Iranians repositioned their Shahab-3B missiles, which have an estimated range of more than 2000 kilometers following Israel's large scale exercise last month over the Mediterranean that was described as an apparent rehearsal for a strike on Iran's nuclear sites.
