Israel will only strike Iranian nuclear facilities in September or after the United States presidential elections in November, a White House official told the British Sunday Times newspaper after a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama last week.
According to the report, Obama has taken Israel’s warnings about a possible strike in Iran very seriously. The Washington source added that the president “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.”
Obama 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 Netanyahu consented to delaying a strike, but wished to know until when. “The question is how much time,” he reportedly said.
The White House source added that Netanyahu presented a number of demands Iran must fulfill in order to avoid an Israeli attack, including transferring 150 kilograms (330 pounds) of enriched uranium to a third party, stopping the enrichment process at the Fordow site near Qom and ceasing any further enrichment beyond the 3.5% required for power generation.
The source reported that Israel’s National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror presented US administration and military officials with new intelligence data about Iran’s nuclear program. The findings included “Project 111,” a project to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile warhead and conduct large-scale high-explosive experiments, the Sunday Times reported. Amidror also noted that a Russian expert in Tehran had been involved for the past six years in helping develop Iran’s nuclear program.

Mr. Netanyahu, Obamanation does not have your country’s interest at heart! Bomb the Iranians back to the Stone Age. When they get their Nuclear Program in place, that’s exactly what what they will do to Israel!
Yes I say bomb Iran right now. Don’t listen to this fool Obummer. He is a nobody puppet. He is a freak of our country and an usurper. He isn’t a legitimate president. He doesn’t care about anyone or anything except himself.
SO, O’Bummer doesn’t want WWIII to start until after the election. Maybe that’s when he’ll be OUTTED for being a fraud, too,, to put the country into more CHAOS!
Mr. Netanyahu should tell obama to stick his liberal socialist BS up his candy ass. I think obama should visit Israel and see first hand what is being done to them. Who knows….obama may just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just saying.
if the Israelis trust this muscum POS obama after what he has done to them then they are stupider than the American voters ( traitors) who put this usurper in our govt , if they trust him and then iran wipes them out …sorry, but they’ll get what they deserve, they know hes a muscum and can’t be trusted
I wouldn’t trust this devil at all. He speaks with forked tongue. Anyone who believes him is an idiot.
Barbie, I seem to think the world has a plethora of idiots.
