Israel Ready To Strike Iran?

Today we see yet another analysis of the growing tensions between Iran and Israel, and this one may be the most accurate yet:

Israel Ready To Strike Iran Without Washington's Approval?

Both American and Israeli officials say that the decision to postpone a massive joint missile drill scheduled for this spring has nothing to do with hostilities with Iran, although insiders suggest something quite the contrary.

Initial reports suggested that the decision was reached by both parties as they bide time to begin testing. The latestreports out of Israel, however, peg the decision as one made by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu alone, with no insight out of Washington. According to those sources, Israel is upset that the US has acted hesitantly so far in its efforts with Iran, whom is believed to be working on a nuclear weapons program.

The decision to postpone the drill marks the first time ever that American and Israeli forces have put a joint military exercise on the backburner, prompting many to question what underlying factors in play. As tensions between Iran and the US worsen and Washington does little to do as Tehran laughs in their face, some say that Israel is fed up that America, usually a big brother of sorts quick to respond to such behavior, is hiding with its tail between its legs.

Israeli officials have become increasingly irritated with America’s reluctance against going up with Iran in recent days. Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon explicitly called the Obama administration “hesitant” on January 15, reports Debka, which was followed by a warning only a day later by the nation’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, in which he urged the US to “move from words to deeds.”

Israel and Iran are at the zero hour, and if the US won’t strike first, the Israelis will.

Postponed drills only underscore Israel’s determination to strike on Iran without consulting Washington.

Israel forces are also concerned over America’s reluctance to act on Iran’s procurement of a 20-percent grade uranium enrichment program at the underground Fordo facility near Qom. Obama had originally said such a program would have detrimental effects for Israel, and although news of the program’s actuality has existed since early January, the White House has done nothing to react.

Only last month, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the planned joint exercise served as the Obama administration’s “unprecedented levels of defense cooperation with Israel to back up our unshakable commitment to Israel’s security.” Just weeks later, however, Netanyahu seems ready to fight Iran on its own.

Israel and Iran are headed for an epic collision. This is well described in the prophecies of Ezekiel, notably Ezekiel 38-39.

Many of us believe that will see the war of Isaiah 17 first, and while tensions mount between Israel and Iran, tensions around Syria also increase by the day. The entire region is sitting on a powder keg both figuratively and literally when one considers the tens of thousands of missiles aimed directly at Israel - and controlled by those who are committed to Israel's destruction.
