U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has come to the conclusion there is a growing likelihood Israel could attack Iran sometime this spring in an effort to destroy its suspected nuclear weapons program, according to a senior administration official. The official declined to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the information.
At the same hearing, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper noted the United States works closely with the Israelis and said the notion that Israel could strike is "a very sensitive issue right now." "This is an area that we are very, very concerned about," Clapper said.

I thought this attack was going down in the winter. That is what they said in the fall.
They really, really want Iran to do something first.
TextIF the CIA is reporting (sorry CNN) this then it must be getting close. But Iran hasn't risen to the bait yet.
TextWhy do people still tune in to these war machine media outlets?
Maybe Leon read about this....

TextIran launches Navid observation satellite Iran has launched an observation satellite into orbit above Earth, IRNA news agency said. It quoted the head of Iran's Space Organization, Hamid Fazeli, as saying that the Navid satellite “was launched successfully” on Friday. The satellite will be placed into orbit at an altitude of between 250 and 370 kilometers. The 50-kilogram spacecraft is expected to stay in orbit for 18 months and send back images, AFP said. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who led the launch ceremony, said it marked the beginning of an immense labor that "holds the promise of friendship for all mankind.”

This was on our news down in New Zealand - I never watch CNN so it was either local news or Sky NZ - I think it was Sky.
Anyway apparently Israel has made it clear that "they will attack Iran before they are able to dig their missiles even deeper which would make an attack more difficult."
They point out that June would be the latest however they could attack earlier such as April -
I thought - well if they do really intend going for it - why would they tell them when? Which suggests they're either bluffing to get the Iranians to back down or they're going to go in when ever they wish basically and are just warning the world - 'it's on the table' and it a Go Go Go.
It's coming for sure!!!!
