right, and everyone knows that we cannot commit any kind of joint military action with Israel. If anything is going to happen regarding military
action against Iran it will come from either Israel or the US (hopefully with the blessing of many nations). We will not act with Israel. If we do,
every muslim nation will toss us out. Many other nations will turn on us.
Now, if something were to happen, Israel will, secretly, tell us their plans, ask if we approve, we will secretly say have at it, we might even sell
them some weapons for it, with the provision that the weapons we sell only be used in defense and in dire situations. This is viewed as defensive and
dire in Israel.
The US will publicly condemn the attacks, saying diplomacy might have worked and behind closed doors we'll be thanking the Israeli's for doing what
we wanted but could not do.
