Report: Obama threatened to fire on Israeli jets attacking Iran

. . .
Yeah right...the same Israel that unilaterally bombs Gaza countless times with no consequences, unilaterally bombs Syria over and over again and unilaterally bombs Lebanon and Iraq, but when it comes to Iran they need to be held back :lol::lol:. When it comes to Iran, the unilateral tough guy changes his tone and now wants international cooperation in dealing with Iran. You think anyone here would complain if Israel bombed Iran? They can't do it of course because there would be a hurtful response. This is and has always been the cause of Isreali butthurt vis a vis Iran. This is a BS face saving report for the Israelis so they can still appear to be tough and hey, look, its their American allies that are holding them back. We never held them back agaisnt Syria, Gaza, Lebanon and Iraq, but we are holding them back against Iran.

If Israel could attack Iran, they would have done it long ago. And if US could attack Iran without substantial damage, they too would have done that.

Anyone who come to attack Iran regime, it would be welcome by Iranians.
US should help bring freedom to Iranians.

Regardless of what you detractors say, Obama has taken a stand on Iran agreement.

He has been consistently cold shouldering that idiot named Netanyahu. This has prompted Netanyahu to under cut Obama by going to Congress to address it. The American Jewish community too has strongly condemned Israel PM antics.

This man Netanyahu is a complete coward and an extremist. He is a negative thinker. What he is doing is actually undermining Israel interests.

I dont know how true that US threat is, but one thing is sure - Obama wants Iran agreement to go ahead. This is a good thing for Iran as well as US. It only shows this animosity has been kept on a burner by some vested interest of the region. Iran has been making indirect overtures to US for a detente for a long time.
