Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned against a reported Israeli plan to launch a second military offensive against Palestinians in Gaza.
They are looking for an excuse to attack Gaza. What I want to say to Zionists and their supporters is 'enough with the crimes. Do not make your load [of sin] even heavier than it is'.
The president said "the myth of an undefeatable Israel was over."

I think the big question is how a war with Iran will be sold to the population in the western countries.
Sympathy for Israel it at an all time low & I have trouble envisioning the US putting it's already strained military to use in bailing Israel out of it's own mess.
And even though the demonization of Iran is running at full steam it doesn't seem to be gaining that much traction. People are tired of the quagmires in Iraq & Afghanistan and just generally have other things on their minds (like the economy)
Maybe some sort of big false flag attack but that is also a very risky move.
I consider it very likely that these plans exist but I actually doubt they will be successful.

The selling of the war is going to be quite easy IMO.
Here's what will happen.
Israel will attack Gaza again. Another 2 oe 3 week offensive aimed at stopping Hezbollah or whatever BS reason they will give.
Iran will step up assistance to splinter groups within Gaza attempting to help Palestinians, or Iran itself will attempt to intervene and assist.
Israel will declare war against Iran, the other Arab nations will follow suit and join with Iran against Israel.
The US will justify participation based on the fact that Israel is by itself and it's interests are in line with American interests.
In othe words, we can't loose that place which plays ball in the Middle East, without it we are screwed.
The average American will foam at the mouth and support full out conflict assistance to Israel.
Especially those religious fundies.
