The Iranian-Israeli card


America Using Israel to Scare Iranians, Europeans -Alex Fishman

Israel's strategic military power is being used as a pawn by the U.S. Administration in order to bring the crisis with Iran to the edge of a flare-up - until someone blinks first. The Americans and Europeans are engaged in secret talks with Tehran parallel to the sanctions.

Israel is an excellent weapon vis-a-vis the Russians, Chinese, and others who are still hesitating on the Iranian question: The Israelis may end up bombing Iran and stirring up the entire fundamentalist world. If you don't help us solve the Iranian problem, we cannot restrain them for long.

A strike on an Iranian nuclear facility would have the added objective of dissuading other international actors from pursuing nuclear arms.
