Within Weeks: Israel Plans to Launch Attack on Iran Before U.S. Presidential Elections

It’s almost go-time in the Middle East. Despite sanctions imposed by the West, the Iranians have refused to make any changes to their nuclear ambitions, insisting that they are not developing nuclear weapons.
Just last week, however, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threw more flame on the fire in a speech at an annual anti-Israel rally when he called Israel a “cancerous tumor” that would be destroyed. “The nations of the region will soon finish off the usurper Zionists in the Palestinian land…. A new Middle East will definitely be formed. With the grace of God and help of the nations, in the new Middle East there will be no trace of the Americans and Zionists,” he said.
That may be the last straw for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been a vocal proponent for an immediate attack on Iranian nuclear installations.
According to numerous reports, Israel may be done with sanctions and attempts to negotiate, and may unilaterally launch a military strike ahead of the U.S. Presidential elections in November.
From Newsmax via The Daily Crux:
“From the prime minister’s point of view, the time for action is getting closer,” the newspaper reported influential reporter Alon Ben-David as saying.
Ben-David said Netanyahu would not wait for a meeting with Obama at next month’s meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York to decide on a strike on Iran.
“In any case, I doubt Obama could say anything that would convince Netanyahu to delay a possible attack,” he said.
Ben-David is military reporter for Israel’s Channel 10 News and has been given extensive access to the country’s air force in its preparation for a potential attack on Tehran, said the Times.
The paper said President Shimon Peres, top generals, the intelligence community, opposition leader Saul Mofaz, “and of course the Americans” were all opposed to an attack on Iran.
Numerous sources are now suggesting that such an attack is imminent and could be launched within weeks:
Israel is planning a military strike against Iran’s nuclear programme before November, security sources in Israel have claimed.
British officials say prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has begun a process of ‘sounding out’ his voters to gauge support for airstrikes and build a case for military action.
…
Israeli leaders believe that President Obama, locked in a close election battle with Republican Mitt Romney, would be forced to back an Israeli strike – even though US military chiefs are against it – for fear of alienating Jewish voters in key swing states such as Florida.

What America would do should such a unilateral action be initiated by Israel will likely depend largely on how Iran responds.
In the past, Iran has said that any attack on their nuclear facilities will be treated as an attack by Israel and the United States, and that they would respond by militarily shutting down the critical Strait of Hormuz oil transit route and could possibly target US military personnel already deployed in the middle east.

I am aware that this whole situation has likely been setup and provoked by the elites and banksters (NWO) but at the same time I say – F..K Iran.
They have been calling for Israel’s destruction for years and have been exporting terror and fighting proxy wars just as long. I would not think any attack would occur until Syria has been subdued/neutured. They will want to be able to use Syrian airspace for an attack.
Can someone tell me why an oil rich nation needs nuclear power!?! – A nuclear Iran is not an option.
Firstly it is a setup. Secondly amerika is the most oil rich nation in the world, the elites just refuse to tap it to keep prices up through the guise of environmentalism. Iran is not our friend mainly cause in the 40′s our gov threw out the leadership to bring decay in the region. Its all so very simple and hate is what fuels this BS
They want civil nuclear power because it makes economic sense. Building nuclear power stations means burning less oil and gas, thus making more available for export and the earning of foreign currency.
Iran’s comments are about removing the Israeli leadership and not its people – two different things. The western propaganda machines have constantly ignored this distinction. Given the Israeli leaderships behavior one can only conclude that they are a bunch of sociopaths.
Any attack on Iran will be utterly pointless. If Iran wanted to divert its nuclear program to building bombs it could and nothing could prevent this – even after an attack. The only nation that could drop bombs big enough to even attempt to do some lasting damage is the US. The only certain way to stop the nuclear program would be to invade Iran. The US is the only country that could even consider this. However, such an undertaking would probably take a million man army, conscription and heavy losses.
Israeli comments as to the fact that a conflict would be over in a month are deluded. Once started the conflict could go on for months. If Iran closed the Strait of Horumz opening would it not solve the problem as long as it remains a war zone – no ship will get insurance cover.
Unfortunately, the conflict has sod all to do with nukes. After all Israel has 200 to 300 warheads and the US 5,000+ plus. The Iranians are rational and do not have a death wish. The Nuke issue is a side show to scare the sheeple and justify a genocidal attack on Iran – a nation of 80m people and 3,000 year old history.
This is all about the US, firstly, controlling Iran’s oil and gas resources (preventing China gaining control of a scarce resource) and secondly, protecting the hegemony of the US dollar. The more countries trade bilaterally and commodities are trading in currencies other than the dollar the greater the threat of a creating a collapse in the dollars value. it should be noted the Saddam and Gadaffi wanted to trade oil and gas in currencies other than the US Dollar. Bit of a trend I think.
you are an idiot
Yeah he is
All going as planned for the Albert Pike crew. Elections in America are a facade. Do you really think that the agenda of Obama is different than that of Romney? The elite control the politics and the money.
of course israel does NOT have the capability to attack Iran alone and even more to the point is it cant attack without americas ok.
so make of this talk what you will but remember this..ANY attack will be orchestrated from the pentagon and WILL start ww3.
Israel can and will attack Iran without U.S. permission and without the interference of the muslim black president we have. The U.S. muslim gubmint doesn’t GAF about Israel. Right about the second part though, if Israel attacks Iran without U.S. permission WWIII may start with an American attack on Israel for doing so.
