President Obama threatened to use the U.S. military to shoot-down Israeli fighter jets last year if they attempted to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities, the Bethlehem news agency Ma’an reported Sunday.
Mr. Obama’s threat reportedly deterred Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from dispatching warplanes into Iran after Israel discovered that the U.S. had entered into secret talks with Tehran and that the two countries had signed an agreement, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.
Al-Jarida also reported Sunday that “well placed” sources confirmed an unnamed Israeli minister disclosed the plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Mr. Obama replied by warning that he would foil the plan by shooting down Israeli jets before they could reach their target destinations.

I wonder what Mossad has to say about that
ReplyDeleteObama's a space case.
DeleteThis may sound likes it's from far left field but hear me out. There is much speculation that the Iranians already have several nukes (as many as four) that they bought on the black market in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The only reason they haven't used any of them is that the fissile materials would be immediately detectable as being of Russian manufacture and that's a can of worms that even they don't want to open. Yet. In exchange for holding back and sparing the Russians any implication in just how the Iranians got them, the Iranians have blackmailed the Russians into providing them the technology to build reactors. With the added stipulation that if Israel strikes Iran all bets are off and the entire Middle East gets irradiated. If any of this is true there would be no doubt that not only successive U.S. administrations have been fully aware of it but the Israelis as well. If they are then I don't think the Israelis are that stupid. Someone is storing the pot to either preclude any U.S.-Iran deal or to make sure that it goes through. The whole mess is so convoluted that between the ME and Ukraine it's hard to tell where the world will stumble into WWIII first.
ReplyDeleteAll our problems come from those who want to control us, are sick and need to be dealt with.
DeleteThey have been say saying for a dozen years or so that Iran is 1 to 2 years away from a nuke. They have nukes.
