An op-ed appearing on the website of the most-read Israeli newspaper urges Tel Aviv to realize that US President Barack Obama will never attack Iran or even support an Israeli offensive.
Watching [Israeli] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] speech, it seems clear that he realized after talking to Obama that Israel is alone in this fight, the article published on Ynetnews said on Monday.
Obama seems to only be worried about a preemptive attack on Iran or the talk of war raising oil prices and thereby harming the US economy and his re-election campaign.
Obama was in fact bluffing to woo Jewish voters and stop an Israeli unilateral attack on Iran, when he claimed to have Israels back, the article said.
Not needing Jewish votes or reelection, the piece continued, If re-elected, President Obama, in his second term, will not attack Iran even as a last resort.
The US, Israel and some of their allies have accused Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program.
The US and the EU have used this pretext to impose sanctions against Iran, while Tel Aviv has issued threats of a military strike against Irans nuclear facilities. Washington has repeatedly threatened Iran with all options on the table.
The Islamic Republic has strongly refuted Western allegations regarding its nuclear energy program, arguing that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it is entitled to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful objectives.
Israels only remaining hope is that Obama will lose the election and be replaced by the Republicans, the article concluded.
