President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran, according to a Kuwaiti newspaper cited by the Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an.

In the wake of Obama’s purported threat, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was said to be forced to abort the strike on Iran.

Israel National News published an account of the report from Al-Jarida. It said the Netanyahu government decided to attack Iran “some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel’s back.”

The report claimed an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the Obama administration disclosed details of the attack plan to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and that “Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.”

The Kuwaiti paper quoted “well-placed” sources saying Netanyahu, Minister of Defense Moshe Yaalon, and then-Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, chose to hit Iran’s nuclear facilities after discussions with top security commanders.

According to the report, “Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army’s chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran’s nuclear program. In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel’s security.”

Israeli fighter jets trained are said to have trained for several weeks in order to ensure the plan’s success, even carrying out experimental flights in Iran’s airspace after they managed to penetrate Iranian radar.

Former U.S. diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, and ardent campaigner for Obama in 2008, called on the president to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran.

“They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast.

“We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a ‘Liberty’ in reverse.”

During the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel mistakenly attacked the American ship Liberty.

This guy befriends our enemies & threatens our friend.

This guy befriends our enemies & threatens our friend. It's a wonder he has such strong U.S. Jewish support.

Has the Kenyan King been watching Season 3 of House of Cards?


LOLOLOL!!!!


Hope and Change!!!

Dems boycott Bibi's speech to Congress tomorrow & Kerry is in Geneva meeting with the Iranians who constantly scream at him at the top of their lungs at every meeting. It's almost like he has battered women syndrome when it comes to them.

Netanyahoo is here to tell the USA that we need to go to war with Iran.

Mobilize the military, mobilize your tax money, and send your kids off to another war.

Or making a deal with the devil.

Is he gonna sing with McCain..?? 😕

It is the same speech. You can't make a deal with the devil so the only alternative is war. Another US war in the Middle East. This needs to be another regime-change war. Israel can't fight that with Iran, they can just carry out limited bombing. The USA needs to fight it.

Kids, money, tanks, and planes......sent them.

Seems likely like our last 2 regime change middle east wars destablised the region and allowed an increase in the power of terrorist organizations due to a power vaccum/ stability void. Also the prevailing American opinion seems to be no more wars.

Robert Johnson made a deal with the devil.

😟

Perhaps just one more regime-change Middle East war will result in peace and democracy (favorable to the USA) breaking out everywhere there.

Wait....I forgot Libya.

Perhaps just two more regime-change Middle East wars will result in peace and democracy (favorable to the USA) breaking out everywhere there.

Wait...I forgot Yemen.

Perhaps just three more regime-change Middle East wars will result in peace and democracy (favorable to the USA) breaking out everywhere there.

Wait...I forgot Somalia.

Perhaps just four more regime-change Middle East wars will result in peace and democracy (favorable to the USA) breaking out everywhere there.

So did Charlie Daniels.

I know Charlie Daniels

You sir are NO Charlie Daniels.
