Thus The New York Times today. “The Obama administration is taking steps it hopes will force Iran to reconsider almost stalemated nuclear negotiations,” elaborates the newspaper, “and forestall an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.” Good luck. And enjoy the hopes. But forcing this and forestalling that will not go too far. For months, every single day I open the online editions of key newspapers on the planet just to check whether or not Israel has attacked Iran yet. For it will. Sooner or later, it surely will. There is hardly any question about it. It is perfectly clear why Iran is pushing its nuclear weapons. And it is perfectly clear what Israel will do in response. In short, the Obama administration is forcing and forestalling in vain. The only question is what it will do once Israel attacks and Iran responds in kind. All the rest is for the birds. The game is set already. It is only a question of day. Good luck, everyone.
