Is Israel weighing an attack on Iran?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to rally support in his cabinet for an attack on Iran, according to government sources.
The country’s defence minister Ehud Barak and the foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman are said to be among those backing a pre-emptive strike to neutralise Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
But a narrow majority of ministers currently oppose the move, which could trigger a wave of regional retaliation.
The debate over possible Israeli military action has reached fever pitch in recent days with newspaper leader columns discussing the benefits and dangers of hitting Iran.

I believe this is more saber rattling to get serious sanctions. If Bibi was for real, we wouldn’t know about it until Natanz was a pile of rubble. Osirik is a perfect example.

The question is, will Obama warn Iran of an attack?
