Israel still has time to strike Iran and the right to decide for itself whether to do so, Vice President Joe Biden said.
Iran\’s nuclear strategy could eventually allow it to build an atomic bomb with just 60 days\’ notice, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Friday.
U.S. Sen. John Kerry told Israeli President Shimon Peres that there is \”no doubt\” about President Obama\’s commitment to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz said on Thursday that other countries have readied their armed forces for a potential strike against Iran\’s nuclear sites to keep Tehran from acquiring atomic weapons.
Israel\’s military chief said he does not believe Iran will decide to build an atomic bomb and called its leaders \”very rational\” – comments that clashed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\’s assessment.
Iran and the six world powers prepared on Friday for rare talks aimed at easing fears that a deepening dispute over the Islamic Republic\’s nuclear program could plunge the Middle East into a new war.
Pre-emptive military strikes aimed at forcing Iran to abandon its nuclear activities may end up having the opposite effect: convincing the Islamic Republic\’s leaders they need an atomic arsenal to secure their hold on power.
If you can’t hold two opposing ideas in your mind at the same time, Jewish life is not for you.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested the United States approve the sale of advanced refueling aircraft as well as GBU-28 bunker-piercing bombs to Israel during a recent meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a top U.S. official said on Tuesday.
Ever since their first awkward encounter – a hastily arranged meeting in a custodian\’s office at a Washington airport in 2007 – Iran has been one of the few issues on which Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu have been able to find some common ground.
