Israel Tries to Ease Differences with US Regarding Iran
Tension over possibility of military strike
Israeli officials said Tuesday they are in close discussions with the United States over how to deal with the Iranian nuclear program, seeking to ease tensions that have emerged between the two allies over a possible Israeli military strike against Iran.
The dialogue, in which Israel is looking for President Barack Obama to take a tough public position against Iran, suggests the odds of an Israeli attack in the near term have been reduced.

If Israel wants to attack Iran I say go for it. Other countries need to start doing things for themselves instead of the United States spilling the blood of our soldiers halfway around the world.
