A senior US military official said on Friday Iran had become the biggest threat to the United States and Israel's president said the military option to stop the Islamic republic from obtaining nuclear weapons was nearer.
The National Post cited the odd anonymity for the American military official:
“The biggest threat to the United States and to our interests and to our friends … has come into focus and it’s Iran,” said the U.S. military official, addressing a forum in Washington. Reporters were allowed to cover the event on condition the official not be identified.Israeli President Simon Peres called Iran the greatest danger to Israel and beyond:
"Iran is the greatest danger, both for Israel and for the entire world," he told Druze leaders while visiting a northern Israeli village.The list of "greatest danger" seers includes Frances Townsend, Condi Rice, Rep. Michael McCaul and Ret. Army General John Keane. Keane attended this summer's annual Bilderberg meeting, where war with Iran was a topic.
With an IAEA report due on Iran's nuclear weapons development, how far off are hostilities? Will Israel lead the attack or will it be the entire world? Stay tuned.
Update: WaPo says Iran at threshold of nuclear capability. WaPo Publisher Donald Graham is a regular Bilderberg attendee.
