Israel and Washington both admit Iran's Revolutionary Guards are highly trained professionals. Why "would they launch such a clumsy and self-defeating operation?"
And why against three friendly countries at a time Washington/Israeli pressure targets the world community to isolate Iran.
Yet Israeli officials blamed Tehran. Netanyahu spuriously accused Iran of being "the biggest exporter or terror in the world." In fact, the Washington/Israeli/UK axis holds that distinction unchallenged.
Nonetheless, Netanyahu added that Israel "will continue, with local security, to act against the international terror which Iran produces." Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman made similar comments. So did other Israeli officials, pointing fingers away from themselves with major media support.
On February 19, Haaretz headlined, "US official: Signs pointing to increasing likelihood of Israel strike on Iran," saying:
As US National Security Adviser Tom Donilon arrived in Israel for talks on Iran's nuclear policy, "a senior US official" told Haaretz, "on condition of anonymity," that signs point to a likely Israeli strike. "We think that Israel still has not decided whether to attack or not," he said, "but it is clear to us that it is being considered seriously."
Washington wants more time to let sanctions bite harder. Netanyahu wants additional ones. According to a senior aide, "Any measure that doesn't stop Iran's nuclear program is inadequate."
In fact, claiming it's a red herring. Washington and Israel know it's non-military. America wants a pro-Western regime replacing Iran's independent one. Israel wants unchallenged regional dominance.
