Nothing's changed. He gave the speech in August of this year and indicated Israel is willing to go after Iran now.

Well we’ll see. Always felt that Netanyahu would never leave office before he took definitive action against the Iranian threat. However stand by the thesis that the strategic reality has shifted in the last year and Israel cannot now attack Iran with impunity. They may ultimately decide that they must, but they risk a terrible counterattack. Also it is by no means certain that if Israel attacks alone, the mission would be successful. A failed mission would be a disaster.
