ed note (Tony)…Hmm…for what it’s worth.
A Kuwaiti newspaper reported Saturday that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2014.
Al-Jarida newspaper quoted “well-placed” sources as saying that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had taken a decision to carry out airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear program after consultations with his minister of defense Moshe Yaalon and foreign minister Avigdor Liberman in the presence of top security commanders.
The decision came, according to al-Jarida, after Israel revealed that the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel’s back.
According to the report, Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army’s chief of staff Beni Gants to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran’s nuclear program. In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel’s security.
The sources added that Gants and his commanders prepared the requested plan and that Israeli fighter jets trained for several weeks in order to make sure the plans would work successfully. Israeli fighter jets even carried out experimental flights in Iran’s airspace after they managed to break through radars.
However, an Israeli minister “who has good ties with the US administration revealed Netanyahu’s plans to Secretary of State John Kerry” and as a result Obama then threatened to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
Netanyahu had to abort the operation and since then relations between Israel and the United States have been declining, according to the sources quoted in the report.
I take nothing at face value from Israeli media. They always distort for their benefit.
The proposed option, among others, makes perfect sense In light of America’s best strategic interests should other means of deterring a preemptive strike fail.
This could be a planted story for the Gulf States population. Their tacit alliance with Israel,and full one with the USA, is not popular with the populations there. But it could be true. I recall long ago how the Jews went full bore against Bush Sr,in politics,media,economy,Hollywood,after he criticized Israel,and cut their intelligence access,held back funds,etc, and did not go ‘all the way’,in Iraq. The Jews have had Obama under pressure from the beginning. He cannot do ‘enough’,for them. It is apparent ,that all the US Govermant does is deal with things about Israel !
NLG. I agree with you. I do not believe any thing coming from the Jewish media and Kuwait is infested with them.
Dante Ardens. It is the truth that all the Presidents (with the exception of Kennedy) have given these parasites more than enough but when one of them does something they do not like they destroy them like Nixon. Obama has given them more than their fare share but they want more and more. their greed has no limits.
