Israel needs green light from US to assault Iran – Chossudovsky

A group of former CIA and military officials have written to President Obama to say they believe Israel is preparing to attack Iran this month.
This is pure propaganda intended to whip up the anti-Israel groups at a sensitive time. At least give Israel credit for being smarter than planning something like that, with or without US backing. And most of all, stop adding to the problem for your own benefit by whipping up the paranoia and hatred of the ignorant. That's a purely fascist tactic.
What do u think russia will do if Israel atack Iran ?
Israel to launch an attack against Iran? But it was not supposed to be the victim from an Iranian attack? It looks like Hitler when launched a "preventive" war against the USSR....
why Russia isnt stopping this warmongers ?
Yes Michel, the threat is very real. Keep up the good work at global research.ca
Well Alex I think among the first things the Russian government should do if Israel attacks Iran is hire a relatively large island to store all the extra money Russia will receive. The attack will certainly signal the closure of the Straights of Hormuz through which 40% of the worlds oil passes. Perhaps the spot price of oil won't hit $140 a barrel until week two of the blockade. By then near substitutes like coal and gas should have their prices dragged upwards. And lets not forget the armament and rearmament programs that all the other Middle East countries will be forced to launch. And Russian armaments are famous for high tech at a low price( Sukhoi jets, Iskander missiles,conventional silent subs etc). Of course if the war generates into a large scale conflict then the Russian economy will suffer along with the rest. Personally I wouldn't bet a Kopeck on Israel attacking Iran without a nod form the government of the USA. Though at the moment the West is manufacturing as many scare stories as newspapers in a desperate attempt to put pressure on Iran. The government of Iran however gives no sign at all of blinking in this face off.
First of all, it is very far away from us. We have to refuel the planes above the hostile states..." He seems to have forgotten that some years ago, Israel manufactured their own add-on fuel tanks to extend the range of their aircraft to be able to reach Libya. Iran is considerably closer. Whilst Israel might normally wait for US agreement with their plans, it probably depends how much Israel feels threatened. The USA is a long way from the Middle East and unlikely to be directly threatened by any nuclear armed Middle Eastern state - unlike Israel. When North Korea was invited to build a reactor in northern Syria, Israel showed that they were quite prepared to take unilateral action to remove a potential threat. The problem for the Iranians is that if any terrorist organisation now uses a nuclear weapon or a dirty bomb against Israel or the USA, Iran will probably be blamed and then destroyed.
Don’t worry guys! US and Israel have been saying that for 31 years now. The war of words between these governments is just to cover their relationship which is absolutely a no no from the Iranian people point of view. The relationship which is that of a master and slave of course. You see, the people ousted the Shah because he was a US marionette. They just didn’t want to replace him with another one. The US wanted a slave to replace the dying monarch. The Iranian people were deceived by a phoney revolution orchestrated by the West led by US, Israel and the BBC. But this is supposed to be a secret, therefore all the sham quarrel that you see and hear from those governments on the Western media. I wonder why RT has joined in?? There is a possibility that leaking of such “news” is just helping one side against the other in Iran. Ahmadinezhad and his hidden party called HOJJATEES enjoy a good support from Israel but he is in minority especially amongst heavy weights. They can remove him from power and the threats from Israel may be for booing or putting Ahmadinezhad’s opposition in a “waiting” mode and help him to stay in power for longer!










This is bad....really bad...Iran is fully armed with nukes...
