Israeli Defense Minister Suggests Military Action against Iran because the US is “Weak” | Global Research

We (Israelis) have to look out for ourselves” Israeli Defense
Minister Moshe Ya’alon was quoted as saying at an event at Tel Aviv
University. According to Haaretz, Ya’alon is not convinced that the
Obama administration will stop Iran’s nuclear program. Israel would have
to take military action against Iran in the future according to
Ya’alon. He said that the Iranians were dominating the negotiations,
getting what they want as a result. “The one who should lead the
campaign against Iran is the US,” but instead, “the US at a certain
stage began negotiating with them, and unfortunately in the Persian
bazaar the Iranians were better.” The Times of Israel said Haaretz
confirmed what Ya’alon said at the event:

Therefore, Ya’alon’s office confirmed his
remarks about Iran, but refused to comment as to whether the defense
minister was advocating an Israeli strike on Iran. Ya’alon was widely
reported to have opposed an Israeli resort to force against Iran in the
past, but the Haaretz report said his comments Sunday indicated that he
had changed his stance, and was now inclined to support Israeli military
intervention in Iran.
