How close to war, Israel and Iran?
Seems I read a saber-rattling quote from Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently. But, I suppose you could say, What do you mean, recently. He is always threatening Israel's destruction.
As the arms confrontation escalates -- Iran seeking nuclear weapons, and Israel fearful of Iran's having them -- a pre-emptive strike from Israel certainly seems possible.
“Time is running out,” Israel's Binyamin Netanyahu warned the U.S. ambassador to Israel just days ago, urging the U.S. to do something. The pair reportedly had a extremely heated exchange.
Also in the news, this quote: "The home front is ready as never before," said an Israel cabinet minister. He said Israel is bracing for a war that will last about a month after Israel knocks out Iran's nuclear-making capacities.
So, all this news has a good side: It shouldn't be nuclear war. Israel would knock out Iran's potential nuclear weapons and would not then need to use its own.
