Netanyahu, Israel - Iran and Hagel

Iran is a threat — a real threat, summed up Hagel, but pointed out that international economic sanctions have already become a tremendous pain for Tehran and that in turn would possibly influence the results of the Iran's presidential election in June. Therefore the implication of military force remains the last resort option.

It looks like Washington is paying its way out of a possible new slaughterhouse to evolve in the Middle East once PM Benjamin Netanyahu convinces Israeli generals to attack Iran at their own peril and risk.

The Israeli PM has been pressing the American authorities to launch an offensive on Iran for quite some time now – with no practical results. Possibly the last time Israel could rely on the US in attacking Iran for real was in 2008, but the war launched by Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili in South Ossetia, close to the Iranian border, spoilt the game – if there was any.
