'We mean it,' Israel's Barak tells Iran on nuclear arms

[notorious_eagle]

That's the similar situation regarding Iran and Israel.

Israel has been saying the same nonsense for years, and even U.S is starting to ignore them.

If history is something to go by with, Israelis don't bluff. They strike hard when there interests are compromised. Although the dynamics for this engagement are entirely different due to Iran's geographical and military strength. But rest be assured, if Israel feels that it is in her interest to strike Iran's nuclear program, she will. IDAF is handicapped due to its inability to carry out a sustained long range strike, but Israel is aware of the fact that the US will have to step in if the Israelis launch a strike. That is a trump card the Israelis hold, and the Americans know it and that is why they have been trying very hard to put a leash on Israel.

Iran should say we don't mean it

I did read what you wrote and I disagree... The GCC has always been wary of Israel's strength and the massive support it enjoys from the US. It's arms procurement is geared against Iran, but Israel has always been at the back of their minds in terms of security concerns. It is the only nuclear-armed state in the Mid-East.

Israel, on the other hand, has shown mistrust with regards to the Arabs in general. The GCC is the only Arab section that has a sizeable military to keep Israel wondering. Had the Arab Spring reached the gulf, there is no saying what policies the future government would have pursued.

You are looking at the situation from recent policies and statements only, but I'm sure you know there is decades of history in the Mid-East.

All is possible,lets see what the future brings.

Iran has a forever shrinking list of Allies...and diplomacy seems missing from the heads of ayatollahs!

^^ Diplomacy and PR are two areas that Iran needs to work on asap.
If it makes enemies out of everyone, it will soon be left completely alone. It's bets on Sino-Russian support have also failed to materialize in a way that falls short of Iranian hopes.

yeah i doubt it if Obama will attack Iran now after obama 3 people are in the race for presidency randpaul(will attack iran)LindseyGrahm(will attack iran) Jeb Bush(will attack iran) US forces will be out of all the conflicts they are currently involved in
Syria war will spill over lebanon and Turkey ( so they will fight each other) next US will Attack IRAN even Obama will Attack IRan After 2015 Because they Give 1 year Time off to oversea deployment forces where they only Work on bases inside america
So By the time 2015 Egypt will have Full Blown Civil War Syria war will spill over into Neighbouring Turkey and Lebanon(Hezbollah will Fight Both Syria and Turkey) and OBama will Attack IRAN after the syria spill over
now after the first 2 months with IRan Obama will Attack pakistan to Free Balochistan from It and then India Will attack pakistan on the kashmir front like how pakistan did in kargil and TTP will attack pakistan and IRAN on NOrthern Fronts

and China will Watch From the Side Lines like How RUssia is Doing in case of Its Best Ally SYRIA and China will Get its oil From Saudi Arabia So will India and after that Rest of the People will be happy and then One day a suit case will blow in Israel Tel aviv and then Tel aviv will Use its SamSON option
