12 March 2012 [10:43] - Today.Az
A senior White House official privy to the recent talks between the Israeli prime minister and US president reportedly says Tel Aviv will strike Iran in September or after the US presidential elections in November.
Barack Obama has taken Israel's warnings about a possible military offensive against the Islamic Republic seriously, the Sunday Times quoted the unnamed US official as saying.
The Washington source said Obama “might visit in the summer to reassure the Israelis that the US commitment to defend Israel is unshakable and thus thwart a possible autumn attack,” Ynetnews reported.
During his meeting with the Israeli prime minister, Obama reportedly insisted that any attack on Iran should be postponed until after the US presidential elections in November, possibly even until next spring.
The source revealed that Benjamin Netanyahu has consented to delaying a strike, but wished to know until when. “The question is how much time,” he reportedly said.
