U.S. fears Israeli strike against Iran!
U.S. fears Israeli strike against Iran.
The U.K. Times reports that military sources in Washington fear that Iran’s nuclear development may precipitate an Israeli attack. “The Pentagon is reluctant to take military action against Iran, but officials say that Israel is a ‘different matter.’ … Concern about Israel’s intentions has been heightened by its recent air strike on a suspected nuclear plant in Syria.” Meanwhile, “U.S. defense officials have signaled that up-to-date attack plans are available if needed in the escalating crisis over Iran’s nuclear aims.”

1. Any attack by Israel on Iran could drag Iraq, Syria, the US, and Lebanon into war.
Iran will blame the US for giving permission to Israeli warplanes to fly through Iraqi airspace regardless if the US allowed it. Syria signed a mutual defense pact with Iran several years back, and Lebanon could once again become a warzone between Hezbollah and Israeli ground forces, since Hezbollah receives weapons and training from Iran and Syria.
