The TV station’s military reporter Alon Ben-David, who earlier this year was given extensive access to the Israel Air Force as it trained for a possible attack, reported that, since upgraded sanctions against Iran have failed to force a suspension of the Iranian nuclear program in the past two months, “from the prime minister’s point of view, the time for action is getting ever closer.” Asked by the news anchor in the Hebrew-language TV report how close Israel now was to “a decision and perhaps an attack,” Ben-David said: “It appears that we are closer than ever.” He said it seemed that Netanyahu was not waiting for a much-discussed possible meeting with US President Barack Obama, after the UN General Assembly gathering in New York late next month — indeed, “it’s not clear that there’ll be a meeting.” In any case, said Ben-David, “I doubt Obama could say anything that would convince Netanyahu to delay a possible attack.” The report added that Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak believe Obama would have no choice but to give backing for an Israeli attack before the US presidential elections in November. There is considerable opposition to an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the report noted — with President Shimon Peres, the army’s chief of the General Staff and top generals, the intelligence community, opposition leader Shaul Mofaz, “and of course the Americans” all lined up against Israeli action at this stage. But, noted Ben-David, it is the Israeli government that would have to take the decision, and there Netanyahu is “almost guaranteed” a majority. Other Hebrew media reports on Tuesday also said Netanyahu had despatched a senior official, National Security Adviser Yaakov Amidror, to update the elderly spiritual leader of the Shas ultra-Orthodox coalition party, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, on the status of the Iranian nuclear program, in order to try to win over Shas government ministers’ support for an attack.[/quote] [url]http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-determined-to-attack-iran-before-us-elections-claims-israels-channel-10/[/url]
I'm pretty sure Isreal will lose most of their allies if this happens.
Please god no.
That's not a good idea.
Someone please come up with a good conspiracy for all this. I want to end the night laughing.
Netanyahu, why. Please, for the love of David, this will solve nothing at all.
I'm pretty sure IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

It seemed to me they were waiting for the results first, huh.

Okay Israel do it yourself and don't drag us into your shit please. [editline]20th August 2012[/editline] Or just don't do it, preferably.
[QUOTE=Key_in_skillee;37335739]Isreal fucking INVADES IRAN How the fuck could that NOT result in World War III, if all of the allies of both sides remain as allies for them?[/QUOTE] Other countries might not get involved... In fact, it's doubtful that any other countries would involve themselves in such a regional conflict unless it seriously threatened their economies.

Romney pretty much said he'd attack them ASAP if he's elected and Obama's administration has already been waging war with Iran via cyber "warfare"
The US might involve itself to some degree, but I doubt it will be a big to-do with NATO or the UN.
Oh my fucking god Netanyahu you douchebag asshat dickface poopbutt [editline]20th August 2012[/editline] Ok Obama can win by polling the people and asking if they want him to help Israel fight or not and then do what the people want and Obama can still salvage this election
[QUOTE=Key_in_skillee;37335739]Isreal fucking INVADES IRAN How the fuck could that NOT result in World War III, if all of the allies of both sides remain as allies for them?[/QUOTE] You're implying both sides have allies with near-equal levels of military power.
Ugh, more fear mongering Literally all the heads of military and intelligence agencies in Israel are against a strike- [quote]There is considerable opposition to an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the report noted — with [b]President Shimon Peres, the army’s chief of the General Staff and top generals, the intelligence community, opposition leader Shaul Mofaz, “and of course the Americans”[/b] all lined up against Israeli action at this stage.[/quote] Netanyahu isn't gonna do dick [editline]21st August 2012[/editline] Seriously, why do you guys instantly believe any prediction written in this forum section
There's nowhere near enough evidence of nuclear weapons in Iran to warrant this. If they can produce concrete evidence that Iran is making a nuclear weapon, then I could understand, but such evidence doesn't exist. If they do this, I hope to God they are told they're doing it alone.

If it's done in another country, it's obviously going to be all absolute truth and not sensationalist at all. Why else would a few reporters on a TV show and some unimportant politicians talk about what Netanyahu might possibly do?
[QUOTE=Glorbo;37335955] Seriously, why do you guys instantly believe any prediction written in this forum section[/QUOTE] We don't live in Israel. We aren't immersed in the political climate and hear a ton of Israeli news. From an outsider's perspective, this rhetoric is very scary because it seems very possible.

You've seen this section for a long time, there's a reason it's called "[b]Sensationalist[/b] Headlines". Yet, every time I enter threads like this everybody starts going on and on about WW3 and how "this isn't good" without anyone even bothering to contemplate the fact that this, might in fact, be a large pile of bullshit. Every. Single. Time.
my official opinion: [img]http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/2951/israelisasmallboy.jpg[/img]
Here we go again. Seems that Israel has picked up the habit of dickwaving from Iran

Every. Single. Time.[/QUOTE] Anyone who thinks this will start WW3 regardless is a bit naive. But it isn't like Israel is a stranger to pre-emptive strikes or anything. These things are very possible, and when things like these are said they need to be taken fairly seriously. With the state of the middle east, this really doesn't sound like empty rhetoric.
It's probably not gonna happen since they just broadcasted it on the television. If Iran had any sense, they'd be gearing up for an invasion. [editline]21st August 2012[/editline] I mean, the element of surprise is lost.
[QUOTE=Celastias;37335426][quote] TV reporter adds: ‘I doubt Obama could say anything that would convince PM to delay a possible attack’[/quote][/QUOTE] What about "Hey, if you invade Iran, we cut off military aid." I think that'd send a clear enough message.
[QUOTE=Fhenexx;37336567]What about, "Hey, if you invade Iran, we cut off military aid."
