Boiling Point in Iran

Tensions between Israel and Iran have been growing since last year, and it is evident that things will only get worse. The article discusses the time frame of when an aerial attack from Isreal against Iran's nuclear facilities would be. It also discusses the involvement of America in a military conflict between the two, citing the amphibious landing drills that have been started by the U.S. military. The decision to fight Iran will not be Pinetta's or Obam's decision but the Israeli's. If a war was to break out, the region would become chaotic with countries such as Syria coming to the aid of Iran and countries like America and the Saudis coming to the defense of Israel. I have a feeling that Israel won't wait much longer sitting idle while Iran develops a weapon. An airstrike could occur late this spring in my opinion.
