"The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma'an has cited a Kuwaiti
newspaper report Saturday, that US 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.









Following Obama's threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.



According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the
decision to strike 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 that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties
with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of
State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the
Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran."

Re: Interesting....Sorta doubt that.


Israel could nuke them. Obama couldn't prevent that. Israel is going to have to make a decision quickly or get nuked, IMO.

You mean "allies" that attack our ships (USS Liberty) and recruit Americans to spy for them (Jonathan Pollard)?

That happened 30+ years ago. I thought Obama said it didn't count unless

it happened within the last 6 months?
