William writes: Ephraim Sneh, Israel's Deputy Defence Minister, has always made it clear, both in public and in caucus with the Next Century Foundation, that Israel intends to be able to bomb Iran. Iran has made it clear in caucus with this Foundation that if bombed by Israel, she will attack Israel and if bombed by the US she will attack the USA - one or other but not both. The USA is, according to our information, putting pressure on Israel to launch a joint attack. In this the USA asks a lot of Israel, given the remaining longe Hizbollah rockets. This issue is gravely troubling.Agence France-Presse - 24 February, 2007
Israel is seeking permission from the United States to fly its jets over Iraq to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, The Daily Telegraph newspaper said Saturday, citing sources. A senior Israeli defence official told the conservative British broadsheet in a dispatch from Tel Aviv that negotiations were taking place for the US-led coalition in Iraq to provide an "air corridor" over Iraq if the Jewish state decided on unilateral action.

Whenever I have been privy to NCF encounters - on or off the record - with Senior Iranians, they have always made it entirely clear that their policy was to strike against ISRAEL if attacked by the US.
Wrong Davis - Completely wrong. They have made a particular point of saying - and delivering messages accordingly - that if they are hit by USA they hit USA AND NOT ISRAEL - by Israel they hit Israel and not USA - by both they hit both. This they are very very clear about.
