Statements from Israeli officials tend to be veiled (admittedly, the veil is quite thin indeed) in order to retain at least some semblance of legitimacy in the eyes of the international community.
That was dashed today with statements from Israel’s Vice Prime Minister and Strategic Affairs Minister, Moshe Ya’alon, at the closing day of the Herzliya Conference.
He said that the international community still had many tools ready to be utilized in the West’s efforts to stifle the Iranian nuclear program (which does not have military applications, something which Panetta has reluctantly admitted on no less than two separate occasions which you can read about here and here).
Most of these were to be expected, including economic sanctions (many of which are already in place), international pressure (which is already being applied), military actions (which are being prepared for with the American naval presence in the region and the troop buildup along with arming of surrounding states), and most noteworthy “support of Iranian opposition.”
While that phrase might sound innocuous to the uninformed, to someone like me and my readers, it rings alarm bells the size of Texas.
The United States and Israel have been busted funding so-called Iranian opposition, which would be regarded as terrorists and nothing else were they operating in any other country.
Most recently, it was revealed that Israel had been coordinating with the Pakistani terrorist organization Jundallah, while pretending to be Americans.
The United States itself also has a long history with the Mujahideen-e Khalq, or MEK, something which Tony Cartalucci and many others have covered in great detail.
Ya’alon was quite clearly referring to this activity and advocating that this strategy of supporting terrorism in an attempt to destabilize Iran and hopefully enact regime change not end but indeed be increased.
This is especially ironic seeing as one of the most tired accusations leveled at Iran and their leaders is that they support terrorism abroad..

The only country i've seen really truely openly threaten to drop any bombs is Israel.
Anyone without a zionist coloured veil over their eyes can see who's doing the warmongering here.
It's even scarier that i hear people believing the propoganda and supporting it. Especially on ATS, it makes me sad.

But rest assured, Achmawhereismydad is only breathing

My hope is that Russia, China and the US can some how stop this from happening before the world falls into WW3.

Who killed Jesus Christ again ?

You are an angry little man.
Did I make a mistake, thinking you were talking about the US and Israel. Yes I did.
Did I deserve to be talked to like that? You really need to get over yourself.
Now to address your little rant. Saudi's know that the US has their back against Iran.
Therefore they are NOT afraid of Iran.
You have some people in the US Govt. that think it is a bad idea, but you would be lying to yourself, if you think any country is afraid of Iran's military power.
Your video only shows that it is not in our best interest, but fails to convey fear of the conflict. maybe you should let that sink through your thick, angry skull.
