Regardless as to whether you are PRO or CON Iran, Israel, U.S. or even Obama...
It is just simple logic:
IF Iran now knows that the U.S. has already stopped Israel from bombing Iranian nuclear facilities once...and is threatening to stop any future attacks on them...Iran can rest easy, knowing the U.S. will continue to keep their facilities safe from IAF bombing raids...as they continue to string Obama/ Kerry along in 'negotiations' until they have their nukes.

So if they already have them then they have shown they won't use them.

That we know of.
First off I'm and American, and am a student of history. After the second world war the Jew said never again, will they allow themselves at the mercy of those who seek their destruction. This is the overriding factor in almost everything they do militarily, this is the Israeli perspective.
Way back in the 1980s before most of you were born, Saddam Hussein was attempting to build a nuclear reactor. The purpose of this reactor was to create "energy" (sound familiar). But in reality is was a cover for the Iraqi Nuclear Weapons program.
The French were selling Iraq a reactor, Israel asked France not to but the French were in it for the money.
President Obama is hell bent on getting a deal with Iran. The Deal is complete garbage and will allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
Lets us not forget Iran is a state sponsor of Terrorism and did supply the Taliban and Insurgents in Iraq with weapons to kill Americans.
The whole world is going to # and if Iran is allow to get a weapon I guarantee that the Israelis will use their nuclear weapon as a last resort, since we blocked their conventional means of attack.
If history has taught me anything its you can't negotiate with terrorists, dictators and religious fanatics.
Its the 1930s all over again except this time the part of Great Britain will be played by the United States of America and the Role of Neville Chamberlain will be played by Barack Obama. And the Results will be even more disastrous than the first time.

If this report is true, then it shows just how bad relations with Israel have become...and just how far President Obama will go to protect his secret negotiations with Iran.
Honestly, I hope this report turns out not to be true. I can't imagine that even Obama would resort to killing Israeli pilots in order to protect Iran.
The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
Following Obama's threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.
According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back.
The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
Al-Jarida quoted "well-placed" sources as saying that Netanyahu, along with Minister of Defense Moshe Yaalon, and then-Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, had decided to carry out airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program after consultations with top security commanders.
According to the report, “Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army's chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran's nuclear program. In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel's security.”
The sources added that Gantz and his commanders prepared the requested plan and that Israeli fighter jets trained for several weeks in order to make sure the plans would work successfully. Israeli fighter jets reportedly even carried out experimental flights in Iran's airspace after they managed to break through radars.
Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast.
“We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse.’"
