This reminds me of one of Churchill’s sayings,

“They are either under your heel or round your throat.”

I guess Israel feels uncomfortable round the throat.

Iran's predicement was made by their own mullah's hands. Trying to terrorise other nation's will only come to bite your own ass. USA can level whole of iran in 24 hours if it wants. Iran is too c0cky and should be put in their place.

The gig is up, Americans will not willingly go into another war for Israel. Israel is on its own. If America does get involved, that is the end of it. Full blown uprisings.

America is broke, if they want their country to collapse and transform into widespread riots and revolution they can start another war. That being said, the Israeli lobby in US will still try as much as they can to milk the last of America for the benefit of Israel.

Iran has said in the past, if Israel attacks us all Americans assets in the Gulf will be a target.
The US willingly or unwillingly will be involved.
In fact Israel may well play on that so it will not be “alone”.

Looking into history being broke was not always a reason not to start a war.
A good example is Hitler's Germany.

Israel has a powerful Airforce and they could elect to strike Iran's nuclear facilities preemptively. With a view of retarding their weapons program, on their own. As I very much doubt that the West is going to knock over Iran at the behest of the Sunni Islamists and their Zionist cronies.

Israel could decide it's worth taking the risk. Iran will just have to be content with making as much damage on the US allies, and minimal damage on Israel, while their minions in lebanon and gaza can do the rest. That's best they can wish for really, while Iran will be bombed back to stone age.

There is nothing more disgusting than the nation of Israel and its U.S. lobby. I would love nothing more than to see Israel crushed by my former country. Unfortunately, that is unlikely considering the military, and specifically, the aerial capabilities of Israel.

Also war can be very profitable and benefitial. The Great Depression was at its worse in the late 30s. In fact, in 1937-1938, there was a recession in the depression. WWII was what brought back America's economy.

Israel won't act without US approval. I hope an attack on Iran will give Iran an excuse to wipe Israel off the map, and get rid of that proxy Turkish state. It's like having a second Turkey or Azerbaijan. I really hope Iran acquires nuclear weapons.

Oil in the Eastern Mediterranean (Israel, Cyprus, Lebanon Egypt) could easily force changes
in allegiances due to individual countries interest.

Israel may not rely and support Azerbaijan due to it becoming more energy sufficient.

Turkey may also lose some of its geographic importance vis a vi Israel (energy route) and cause
a more independent and hopefully hostile relationship towards it.


Israel, Cyprus Seal Energy Deal

http://asbarez.com/99072/israel-cyprus-seal-energy-deal/

NICOSIA (Cyprusnewsreport)—Israeli President Shimon Peres and his delegation signed four agreements with the Republic of Cyprus Thursady, including one on energy cooperation.

“The two countries have waited for a long time for natural gas and now we can benefit,” said Peres. As well as the agreement on energy, an inter-governmental agreement on research and development, cooperation agreement in telecommunications and information technology and cooperation in the field of antiquities were signed.

The Premier is being heavily guarded by his own security and Cyprus police, including a helicopter unit, during his two-day state visit to Cyprus.

Since signing a maritime border agreement in December 2010, Cyprus and Israel have been building more cooperation on developing their undersea hydrocarbon industries. Cyprus is set to open a new round of bids for offshore undersea exploration concessions by the end of the year and perhaps even sooner. US company Noble Energy, which works closely with Israeli company DELEK, has expressed an interest in buying more concessions to explore for undersea hydrocarbons. Peres’ visit is linked to these developments, say analysts.

Income from allowing international companies to explore for hydrocarbons is included in the 2012 Budget and is viewed as a key way to finance the state now that it has lost access to international capital markets. The prospects of a new gas and oil industry in the region have led to a number of bilateral agreements between Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon and Egypt.

But there are risks to the burgeoning industry. As Cyprus-Israel cooperation grows, Turkey-Israel relations are on the wane after the deaths of nine Turkish-origin activists who were killed en-route to taking humanitarian aid to Gaza in 2010. Moreover, Turkey is determined to interfere with the government’s sovereign rights and has repeatedly threatened to start exploring in Cyprus waters. Ankara has already sent three seismic research ships to the island’s Exclusive Economic Zone on the basis that the government does not represent the Turkish Cypriots. The vessels are accompanied by Turkish warships as it beefs up its naval presence in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Turkey’s position has been condemned by the EU, Russia, and Greece, while the US and UK have both issued statements supporting Cyprus’ right to exploit its own offshore resources. Israel has taken more active steps to counter Turkey’s threats, and most recently sent six.
