The buzz here in the last few days is that Israel is seriously considering a preemptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities and ballistic missile sites. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert meets today with President Bush. Iran is Topic A, and Olmert is publicly warning Iran to watch out. “I don’t believe that Iran will accept [a diplomatic] compromise unless they have good reason to fear the consequences of not reaching a compromise,” Olmert said over the weekend. “In other words, Iran must start to fear.”
Israel’s Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh has been telling reporters in recent days that Israel may, in fact, be forced to attack Iran if no one else is willing to stop Ahmadinejad from going nuclear. “I am not advocating an Israeli preemptive military action against Iran,” Sneh said Friday. “I consider it a last resort. But even the last resort is sometimes the only resort.”
