The Proper Course

With Iran rapidly making strides to be able to fulfill the threat, is Israel able to take a wait and see approach toward a nation that has publicly pledged since the late Ayatollah Khomeini came to power to destroy the Zionist entity? I would contend the Jewish State does not have the luxury a larger, more powerful country would in dealing with the threat of possible nuclear attack. Iran is not a normal adversary either. North Korea, under an evil but sane leader, stages a nuclear test but does not nuke Seoul. The 12th Imam worshipping End Time religious fanatics running Iran are content to test their super weapon on Tel Aviv and the largest concentration of Jews in the world that happen to live there. As world powers and the Obama administration reach their "historic agreement" with Iran, Israel's hand is forced. Ironically, the push to avoid having to confront Iran by the Western Powers means that the Jewish State will almost certainly have to launch a unilateral preemptive strike, which will, at the least, throw the Middle East into a regional war, and could be the spark for a third world war.
