Israeli Official: West Has 4-8 Weeks Left for Iran Diplomacy

news.antiwar.com

Adding to the harsh rhetoric coming out of the nation is recent days, Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon today announced that the nation was giving the West another 4-8 weeks to attempt diplomacy with Iran, and that after that they would have to impose crippling sanctions on the nation.

Israel’s threats against Iran are not new, but the growing number of US official visits in recent days are seen as being at least in part based on fear that an Israeli attack could be in the offing.

Some timeline to war has been given... For a long time we have dates given, but as usual - no accurate dates. What I see in 4-8 weeks, there will be no new sanctions on their way, Russia and China has torpedoed those thoughts in UN.

So is it only a month or two to beginning of showdown with Iran?

Very hard to believe, specially now when Iranian opposition loose their momentum - but yes, we do have signs from war ME all-out war is coming, but in the other hand, signs how impossible that situation would be... Escalation and WW3 I mean.

Iranian situation is just something we have to keep following!

Do you believe Israel will attack Iran? If so, will that drag the US into war as well? Why?

Sorry for the questions, but I am a newbie to these issues and I don't know the background info.

Very much so Belial...

A not so well veiled unspoken threat for sure...

Is Israel wants to act unilaterally, which I doubt they will, it will find itself very much on the wrong side of most of the rest of the world...

Then again, that's never really bothered them I suppose, given their history of ignoring the UN & the rest of the world whilst making a big song and dance when other nations do the same...

Typical from such a hypocritical nation tho...

I think that Israel is saying that they don't want to be the ones to handle this growing problem but, if the rest fo the world keeps jogging in place, they will be left with no choice.

Remember, Iran is led by a man who thinks Israel shouldn't exist. He believes that they should be taken out of existence. These are threats against Israel. While Israel is no angel, they are merely stating that the threat of a nuclear Iran is, most definitely, a threat their existence and, while the West seems to agree that Iran should never go nuclear, since they aren't doing enough to stop them, Israel will be left with no other choice than to eliminate the threat.

Rest assured, if Israel does wind up destroying those nuclear sites, it will be done with the silent approval of any and all nations impacted by this decision. The public stance will be to condone Israel but the only way Israel will be able to accomplish the task will be with weapons from the US, approval to fly over some nations and agreement to not get involved in any retaliations from other nations.

They've been forced into this position in the past and it didn't lead to any global wars.

Personally, I think the US, Russia, France et al secretly want Israel to handle this matter. It is, easily, the cleanest solution. Israel will run precision strikes, taking out the facilities, and nothing else. Iran will cry foul but the nations she will turn to will be stuck wondering if it is worth siding with them, given the West's repeated attempts to curtail the nuclear problem and given Iran's repeated refusal to even work with the West in a resolution.

Yes - great all-out war in ME war is on its way, no question about that - that is my answer. First event of starting all out war against Syria-Lebanon-Iran was Lebanon attack 2006, then the blockade of Gaza by Israel, and following Op Cast Lead about year ago. After that horrible "Gaza 911" attack towards civilian population, and monitoring that slaughter to muslim homes - I have seen that there is no way turning back anymore.

Clear picture of enemy is placed to minds of Israeli enemies, by them self.

Question about when comes the revenge, is only about timing... With knowlege of today, and counting time from latest Gaza attacks - I think june, or july will be the start of WW3. Sure I knew after Gaza, when they made truce over there, that it takes minimum a year to start anything in the region - now that year has gone, and I am waiting new wars too... But one or two month seems to be too soon, but who knows?

Some false flag is waited - it doesnt need anything else.

Other question is that, if war between Iran and Israel is imminent, will Iran just sit as sitting duck in front of it... I think not, and that is the way Israel wants to provacate the situation every day.

I think the Foreign Ministry of Israel acts seprately but in collousion with Netanyahu and his inner circle. The FM are the war-mongerers, the language they employ is used to intimidate Iran and impress the West into sanctioning the whole Iranian economy, becasue of the fear of an imminent attack. Then another department within the government will come in and clarify or contradict the claims to create confusion. It is a carefully staged show.

In reality i cannot see Israel launching a strike on the Iranian Nuclear facilites. They know it will not succed so do the Iranains and so do the Americans.

I took the liberty of reposting my own message as I consider it relevant to two related threads I'm following.

Nice work in dismissing it while supplying zero actual analysis or refutation.

That's how arguments usually run around here.

Just a look to todays Israeli media - are they still in path to war?

Israel cannot abandon military option on Iran

Iran is the only country in the world that belongs to the United Nations yet publicly declares its intention to destroy the Jewish state. We are facing a lunatic, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who repeatedly and publicly declares that the Holocaust never happened, and has now "discovered" that the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers were perpetrated by the Americans to give them an excuse for the war on terror. This is a country whose leaders seek to turn all the moderate states in the Middle East into an unbroken stretch of Sharia extremism.

Report: New Iran destroyer test fires missile

The Islamic Republic, embroiled in an escalating row with the West over its nuclear program, often announces advances in its military capabilities and stages missile tests in an apparent bid to show its readiness to counterattack.

Neither Israel nor the United States have ruled out military action if diplomacy fails to resolve the dispute over atomic work the West fears is aimed at making bombs but which Tehran says is for peaceful power generation.
