(Before It's News)

Defense Leon Panetta said Tuesday night that he doesn’t believe Israel has made a decision to attack Iran’s nuclear program. “As a sovereign country, they will ultimately make decisions based on what they think is in their national security interest,” he said, but he believed there was “still room to continue to negotiate” and “additional sanctions were beginning to have an additional impact.”  The Secretary added that the Israeli prime minister agrees that military action should be the last resort.
At their joint press briefing in Washington, Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: “I am not privy to [Israel’s] planning. So what I’m telling you is based on what I know of their capabilities. And I may not know about all of their capabilities. But I think it’s fair… to say they could delay but not destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities.” READ MORE HERE

  • Israel is not going to attack Iran. It was all a bluff and Iran knew it. So did the US. So, Nuttyyahoo can scream and throw tantrums all he wants. Iran will kick the crap out of Israel and take down so many planes with Hezbollah taking out so many tanks that Israel would be destabilized. Next, Hezbollah needs to start arming Muslims inside Israel and allow them to begin defending themselves.
