The air space between Israel and Iran is controlled by the US, so any attack would have to be approved by the US, said RT contributor Wayne Madsen.

However, with the US willing to engage into direct negotiations with Iran, such an approval is unlikely, he said.

In an interview with Dow Jones Newswires, former Israeli deputy defense minister Ephraim Sneh said his country will be forced to attack Iran’s nuclear sites if the international community doesn’t enforce sanctions on Tehran by the end of this year.

The news comes just days after Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator said that his country will engage in nuclear talks with Western powers.

However, many believe that Tehran is just pretending to be diplomatic in order to stop potential sanctions.

Who says Israel need US approval to bomb Iran? Since when does Israel needs anyone permission to bomb? lol No, no, no if Israel needs anyone’s approval it is the Bilderberg Group and if they have decided it would be the best alternative to bomb Iran Israel will do so, the important thing with 1973 war was that Israel was not to be seen as the aggressor for the U.S to step in and provide them with the biggest air bridge ever Operation Nickel Grass. Everyone knows that U.S can't afford loosing Israel in the Middle East. They would be forced to step in eventually, all we are waiting for now is the pretext for them to assault Iran nothing else. Patience will eventually pay out and the media will get their bomber story and maybe the west will have their expanded war in the region, maybe not, the Arabs are too divided. Bilderberg however is an exclusive club and their members will never back down from world domination. Someone should do a real news coverage about the Bilderberg, I'm still puzzled that no one got the guts to step out and make them shine for the public, heck everything else is covered from politicians fending off ferries to people sniffing glue. Try getting your hands on author Daniel Estulin he wrote the book The True Story of the Bilderberg Group.

First, my respect to W.Madsen for his honest comments (in past to) today!Iran will talk with west, about nuclear issue but I am sure they will not give up peacefull use of N.energy!We got many states who in reality (unlike always peacefull Iran) have and use N.peacefull energy and can jump overnight to make N.weapons.There is not one single proof till now, that Iran will build N.weapons!Usa(west) start building N.reactor at first place in 1970 in Iran-why is so wrong now?Here are few real reasons:West and Israel(need more time to grab more land)will lost influence with strong Iran in M.East. Iran is rich in oil and gas(only true independent state without influence from west in M.East)and west like to put their hands on that....Iran remain last country to be attacked by Usa plan(10 y.old) on excuses of (fake)war on terror.We also got Israel wich like to remain sole power(with imputity to kill forever) in region...International conditions today are much worse for west to strike with impunity! Target remain same but tools are different... On other side we got Israel who got 200 plus N.bombs(with Usa unlawfull help)wich is threat for peace in region(proofen) and world! Usa is 100% for strike on Iran by Israel-ONLY PROBLEM IS RUSSIA AND CHINA REACTION!Mr.Putin warning for west not to attack Iran is a clear message of danger! If attack did happend-Israel will be gone in future.Iran will become(in that case) a N.POWER in no time! I dont see any HONEST reasons from the west case against Iran, and their peacefull use of nuclear energy!Thanke you
