Israel switches to Iran after Gaza
In a Saturday night meeting with Quartet envoy Tony Blair, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak claimed that Iran's nuclear program threaten the stability of the region.

Iran's enrichment program is a threat for the stability of the Middle East and the whole world. There is still time for sanctions and for the free countries of the world to implement economic sanctions against Iran," said Barak.

Barak said that Israel was not taking any option off the table with regards to a military attack against Iran, although it needs to cooperate with, Russia and China.

"Cooperation with different countries especially with Russia and China is necessary in light of the threat. This, however, does not take any options off the table," Barak said in remarks translated from an AFP report.

1. we all know that Russia and China won't sign off on any attack
China wants to spread its sphere of influence over the Middle East and isn't hesitant about supporting governments like Iran

Russia is in bed with one of Iran's biggest allies and we know that it won't do anything as well

2. The right wingers running Israel are a threat to stability in the Middle East
not Iran's nuclear situation.

6. If Iran officially stated what that Israeli Minister did, it would be seen as cause for war.
Isn't that the essence of preemptive war propaganda, that it crosses the line first?

Strange about how so few people talk about this.
