Israel May Unilateraly Attack Iranian Nuclear Plants
by John Little on 4/12/2008It’s pretty obvious by now that the US won’t be attacking:
Israel is drawing up plans to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities and is prepared to launch a strike without backing from the US, it has been reported.
Officials in the Israeli Defence Ministry told the Jerusalem Post that while they prefer to act in consultation with the US, they were preparing plans that would allow them to act in isolation.
“It is always better to coordinate,” a senior Defence Ministry official told the newspaper. “But we are also preparing options that do not include coordination.”
I’d put the odds of a unilateral Israeli attack at less than 10%. This is their standard attempt to prod us into action. It has fallen on deaf ears for years and is even less likely to move the incoming administration.
