Tom Donilon, the US president's top security aide, arrived in Tel Aviv on Saturday morning for three days of meetings with Israeli defence and security chiefs.
While Washington claims the visit is simply the latest in a series of "regular, high level consultations between the United States and Israel", it came just days after coordinated attacks launched against Israeli embassies across the world provoked outrage in Jerusalem, which claims with certainly that Iran is responsible.
Israel's option of launching a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities was expected to be the urgent topic of discussion during Mr Donilon's visit.
Hours before he arrived Iran's navy claimed its warships entered the Mediterranean to show its 'might' to regional countries.

(223 posts)That a Republican is not in office. Their would already be war with Iran. Though me thinks Iran leaders are stupid for the fact that they keep provoking Israel. I think secretly Iran wants war with the USA and Israel

Iran has the RIGHT to enrich uranium under non proliferation treaty.
Even if they had the bomb they have attacked no one - something that can't be said for the local bullies who throw their nuclear armed weight around all the time - that is the US and Israel

(11,344 posts)Iran's leadership is insane, ready to kill, rape, pillage . . . destroy the world on the flick. Israel is an innocent lamb - progressive, good, just and preferred. Good versus Evil. Got it?
We now return you to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress.
