MOSCOW, June 3, 2009 (Reuters) — Israel is not planning to bomb Iran, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Wednesday, addressing speculation it might launch a military operation to destroy the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.

Israel, widely believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear power, has repeatedly described Iran's uranium enrichment as a threat to its existence and has said all options were on the table in preventing Tehran from building atomic weapons.

Now I'm really worried. In my experience, countries
say anything to deflect attention from what they actually have planned.

But perhaps Obama's criticism has some meaning to the Israelis; however I doubt it.

If I was a betting man, and I am; I would bet green money that we will see a strike on Iran this summer.

The big question is; what will be the response of the US, and the world?

I'm a betting man Whaaa and I'm with you, this is propaganda and Israel will more than likely strike Iran's nuclear properties this summer.

Israel's propaganda of Gaza last year gives credence to this.

I don't think they will,i think they lost their window of opportunity quite some time ago.Course i wouldn't put anything past Israel but i think they have done the numbers,looked over their strategy and realised its simply not a viable option anymore.

So do you now feel that Israel will allow Iran to build nuclear power plants, enrich weapons grade uranium? Why the change?

Like op, iran should never lower there defenses with things like this. Talk is cheap, and you can only judge people by there fruits.

The media is used by those who run society to play games, and you should never trust it at all.

yup.. It been my experience that when a nation says to another nation not to pay attention to something... normally with in the week that something happens.

Lieberman in Moscow: Israel has no intention of bombing Iran (JPost)

To paraphrase Lieberman, a nuclear armed Iran is the world's problem not just Israel's, so why the hell should Israel risk its own neck to save regimes such as the House of Saud from Iranian expansionism?

Seems quite pragmatic and sensible to me - Lieberman is a clever man.
