Israel will strike Iran if no sanctions in place by Christmas

They say they will go it alone if needed;

This is nothing new....

The renewed threat comes as earlier in October, Ephraim Sneh, a former Israeli deputy defense minister, said that time was running out for action to stop Iran's nuclear enrichment program.

"If no crippling sanctions are introduced by Christmas, Israel will strike," Sneh said. "If we are left alone, we will act alone."

It's a former minister, and it's being reported many many times before.

They probably will, but not alone.

If they want to act alone, let them die alone. Leave US Troops out of this

Need I say more?

I wish there was a quick way to make a timeline of the threads saying Israel will attack Iran by such and such time. The others didn't live up to their hype and neither will this one.

Israel isn't going to attack Iran.

Why Christmas? What's Christmas to Jews and Persians? Riiiigghhhhtttt!

Gee. I wonder if the Israelis will pull out one of their nuclear weapons.

It has always troubled me that the Jews are allowed to have WMD in the neighborhood but no one else...and being the new kids on the block for that matter.

I don't see the U.S or any European country playing along with the bluff nor the act itself.

Israel needs to be taken down a few notches and this could do it, resulting in some serious compromise from Israel.

Thats the pot calling the kettle black, Israel won't let inspectors into their nuclear reactors or areas. But anyway, they won't attack unless they are guaranteed backup from the US. For the simple fact that they can't launch enough sorties to attack Iran except for the reactors. And after they attack the reactors it's no guarantee that they hit them or even destroy them. Then Iran will have been attacked and will respond by launching missiles into Israel. Remember, their targeting and rockets are alot better and accurate than Iraq and they haven't been hit with sanctionsfor years either. So everything they will be firing at will be hit on target. Israel can't afford to trade shots with a country that has more money and more weapons than they (including a large population and the ability to attack them.). They need the US to help to stop any blowback and/or attack their ability to respond.

Go ahead Israel, attack Iran. Turn the rest of the world against you, start another pointless war.

With its credibility already in shambles, an attack on Iran would pretty much make Israel the bad guys in everyone's minds, possibly even the US. They want to go it in alone, assure their own destruction, go ahead. I just pray that this is all just words and no action; any kind of war between Israel and Iran would cause the world millions of deaths, and could even possibly upscale into a full world war if people are as ignorant as they have always been. This would be a sad day indeed.

Israel has much more advanced technology. It's not just about numbers. It's more about quality than quantity. I really think Israel would destroy Iran. . . not just because of all-out war, but because Iran is due for a revolution, and 40% of the population of Iran will try taking over once the SHTF and there is all-out war. Look at the rioting in Iran recently!! You think those people will fight for Ahmadinejad & Khomenei? Hell No!

Israel will do SFA alone. If they do I pity them for what will be unleashed on them. It will be suicide if they decide to take Iran on without US support. They attack Iran and I can see Russia, China and other middle east countries defending Iran their biggest trade partner for oil.
What would the US do if lets say Chavez decided to attack Kuwaut or Iraq?
I can guarantee you that little Chavez would pay dearly for such a mistake.

I do not believe Israel will attack Iran for those reasons and this is just more threats typical of Israel. Nothing but verbal diarhea.

It may be a good idea to get any US ships out of that area because we wouldn't want Israel to "mistake" a US ship as enemy. Remember the USS Liberty fiasco in '67?

Obamas shift on the Polish shield has brought Russia back into the equasion -will Medvedov put the pressure there on Iran ?
Its significant that Iran is warning Russia of its obligations to comply with a contract signed 2 years ago for defensive missiles.
even if Israel did go it alone it would still drag the region into play.
Iran has stalled and stalled.
America cannot afford this war which would undoubtedly be a precedent to WW3-Obama knows it and so does Russia and China.
No doubt without the US lifting a finger,they will be accused of starting it-its a no win situation.

Forgot to add-Obama and Medvedov will cross paths again pretty soon to talk of this as well as NK.

This has nothing to do with an Israeli news source.
(this is just attempt to divert-FAIL!)

The source is Iranian.

It the source has proven to be at best, unreliable.

So as a source saying when and If Israel will attack, it is more than highly suspect.

This crap has been going on forever. let's get on with it already. I need something else to watch on the news besides political reruns.

as we had the upper hand with the iraq and afgan war.... what difference did that make? we are still getting killed..with no end in sight.

the the zionist can be 100 years more advanced but it wont make a difference if you have no back bone.

Oh yay! A Christmas War. Why didnt they say Channukah?

Seriously though? Someone reign Israel in. They're gonna blow up the world, these non-signatories to the NNPT and owners of uncontrolled and unaccounted for nukes themselves. Why are all the rules different for them? I call for sanctions on Israel due to their continued threats and spouting of this kind of inflammatory smack talk!

Israel's been trying to drag the U.S. into an attack on Iran for a decade now. Probably only the shrewd-as-a-fox, attention-grabbing, crazy talk and actions of Ahmadinejad getting all eyes on this have avoided Iran having gone the way of Iraq thus far.

Edit to add...on second thought, again, why did they say Christmas in this article? Neither Israel nor Iran is very Christian. What gives?
