Questo è quanto riportato ieri sul Washington Post da David Ignatius (e ripreso oggi dal Corriere della Sera):

Panetta believes there is a strong likelihood that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June — before Iran enters what Israelis described as a “zone of immunity” to commence building a nuclear bomb. Very soon, the Israelis fear, the Iranians will have stored enough enriched uranium in deep underground facilities to make a weapon — and only the United States could then stop them militarily.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t want to leave the fate of Israel dependent on American action, which would be triggered by intelligence that Iran is building a bomb, which it hasn’t done yet.

Resta da capire se si tratta di un gioco delle parti, di un modo per aumentare la pressione su Teheran o se davvero il governo di Washington sta prendendo le distanze da quello di Tel Aviv.
