Israel warns anew of action against Iran

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Jerusalem (AFP) - Intelligence Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz warned Thursday that Israel could act unilaterally against Iran over its nuclear drive, saying Tehran has failed to make concessions in talks with world powers.

"I won't be too specific but all options are still on the table," Steinitz told reporters.

"We never limited Israel's right of self-defence because of some diplomatic constraints," he said.

Seems like whatever everyone else thinks about any "deal" with Iran and the rest of the world, Israel is still going to mess with Iran.

I don't think the Israelis care much about anyone else. If they want to take the Iranians on their own, it won't end up well for them.

For the Iranians?

Most likely outcome.

It certainly seems that way, doesn't it. Israel at the moment is essentially aligning itself with ISIS by attacking Syria and threatening Iran.

You really live in an alternate reality, don't you?

Israel is aligning with Israel, and to h3ll with anyone else in the region. If Hezbollah, and their high-ranking Iranian military advisors, appear intent on creating a clear threat to Israel, the IDF is usually ordered to act. Make no mistake, if ISIS forces are deemed to present a similar threat, they will receive a similar response.

It helps when you boil an extremely complex region's IR policies down into binary generalities. It's not at all accurate, but it is entertaining...

[JohnR! 5,495]

I am sure ISIS would and Israel is acting very much like them with their policy towards the Palestinians.

Not all Muslims agree is ISIS and not all Israelis agree with Bibi's policy.

There ain't no stinking terrorists digging stinking tunnels and a there ain't no stinking rockets flying into Israel. None of this ever happened. And, if it did happen, Israel probably deserved it. Even old macdonald knows that despite being a very bad speller.

....but, maybe some naughty Israeli school boy will flush twice one of those non-existent Israeli nukes all the way to the Ayatollah's tent in Tehran.

I almost can't wait till Iran gets nukes. The hilarity will be worth it.

I think Israel would strike first.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Yes they would and it would be more than just one nation but let's face it they are going to have nukes so we may as well let them have them now under Obama's watch. Israel would have no choice. Be fun to watch though.

Spooky: I think Israel would strike first.

It's all been real friendly over there in those Islamic muslim countries. There is no history of previous wars. First strike? All that talk about about tunnels is just Palestine building subways. Those rockets to Israel are just celebratory announcements of meal time. Bombs at Israeli discos are just part of the special effects.

Iran keeps punching away and uses neighbors for dirty work.

So let them fight. Why should we care what they want done to do to each other?
