The United States has once again threatened Iran with a military strike over the country’s nuclear energy program while warning Israel of the unintended consequences of attacking the Islamic Republic.
In an interview with Atlantic magazine on Friday, US President Barack Obama said the US is “not taking any option off the table” in order to stop Iran’s nuclear energy program.
“It includes a military component. And I think people understand that,” Obama said three days before a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington.
“I think both the Iranian and the Israeli governments recognize that when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say,” the US president said.
At the same time, Obama warned Israel to be mindful of “the profound costs of any military action” and its “potential unintended consequences.”
The United States, Israel and some of their allies accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program, using this pretext to impose sanctions against Iran, with Washington and Tel Aviv threatening to attack Iran to stop its nuclear activities.
This is while several countries including Russia and China as well as senior US officials have repeatedly warned against attacking Iran as such a strike will have dire consequences for not only the Middle East, but for the entire world.
On February 27, Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said if Israel attacks Iran “the consequences will be truly catastrophic, their real scope impossible to imagine.”
Earlier in February Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey also warned that an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities would be imprudent, destabilizing and would not serve the interests of anybody, especially the Israelis.
Iran has denied the allegations and promised a crushing response to any military strike against the country, warning that any such measure could result in a war that would spread beyond the Middle East.

Yep, ww3 is near!!! Too near, time to bye guns, a lot of guns.
As to no surprise, an idiot who can’t deliver a speech without a teleprompter, aims at the distribution of fear via the too often used hoax of WMD. The real reason is that like Iraq and Libya, another country is about to hit the fraudulent petro-dollar again. Israel, India, North Korea and Pakistan couldn’t care less about the bogus proliferation hoopla from Washington and its stooges: unless those countries hit the fraudulent petro-dollar where it hurts, they can build as many WMD as they like.
Washington (= Wall Street Crime Syndicate) was so certain to continue the bogus petro-buck and similar financial fraud that it destroyed its industrial production by outsourcing, sending millions of Americans into poverty. The country doesn’t even have fast rail systems like in Europe and Asia, and regarding Internet connections (especially satellite) now is a third world nation.
May the OWS Movement succeed in bringing the crime syndicate’s members to justice!
So, Israel got atomic arsenal to then…
