American sources told Fox News early Sunday, Nov. 6 that all the senior Israeli ministers who were formerly against attacking Iran's nuclear sites are now for it after receiving updates proving that Iran already has a nuclear weapon. The ministers believe that new sanctions would not be tough enough. DEBKAfile: Washington's uncritical references to Israeli plans signal Tehran that because of the level it has reached in its weapons-geared nuclear program, the US can no longer hold Israel back from exercising its military option.
And so after ten days after feverish, unattributed Israeli news reporting on an imminent attack, the administration has drawn certain lines: Israel should go forward with its plans to strike Iran, while Washington will stress "diplomatic strategy."
This phrase, new to official US comments on the nuclear controversy with Iran, does not rule out the military option. All in all, public US administration comments on Israel taking military action on Iran in own its hands have been unusually mild.
