So here's the scoop! Remember New Years, fun day right? Not for Iran! On December 31st, 2011 President Barack Obama signed the NDAA bill which put several sanctions on Iran. Iran got pretty pissed and gave a direct attack threat to Israel, complaining that the US always has Israel's interests in mind(which they do, cause nobody else likes Israel). Israel got pretty uptight and scared and found out quite recently that there is a base in Iran with people working on developing Nuclear weapons. Israel doesn't like this one bit, and has decided to step out of their comfort zone (seeing as Israel is usually the one that wins while on defensive mode) and has stated that they will be attacking Iran to rid it of it's dangerous weapons that threaten the existence of Israel.
Now, what do we make of this? Either Israel really is scared, or they are giving one of their well known empty threats to push the US in the general direction. They may want US to intervene in Iran peacefully, rather than them intervening with violence. It just might work!
