Upon seeing that international talks with Iran over its nuclear program had failed, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, insisted that “Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.” Israel’s deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon, asked the negotiations with the Islamic state to be declared a failure and Iran to be presented with an ultimatum to halt its nuclear program in a few weeks.

Intelligence

Intelligence reports obtained by Israel from the United States and other countries have shown that Iran is further along in the development of a nuclear weapon than was reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The weapon would most likely be fitted by the Shahab-3 missile. The Shahab-3 is Iran’s copy of North Korea’s Nodong-1 medium range missile that can easily reach any point in Israel.

Obama will do nothing about Iran. He will sit back and either let them attack Israel or let Israel attack Iran. He will then step in as the hero. He’s too much of a coward to do anything on his own. Maybe that’s a good thing though, since he wouldn’t know what to do anyway. Not only that, our military does not trust him......especially the SEALS.

3. My favorite: preemptively eradicate Iran. 15 minute war.
