A Middle Eastern SNAFU
United Nations: The European Union and United States are set to toughen nuclear sanctions aiming to punish Iran while seeking to hold back Israel from a military strike, top officials said as the showdown enters a critical phase.
Western moves to pressure Iran have been made more urgent by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stern call for a “clear red line” against Iran’s nuclear drive, diplomats said.
Netanyahu’s conversation with US President Barack Obama on Friday reassured some envoys that Israel and the United States are more in tune over Iran. But they highlighted lingering uncertainty about if and when Israel could launch unilateral action.

The European Union will be first to step up sanctions as part of the international campaign of pressure alongside increasingly frustrating efforts to negotiate a halt to Iran’s uranium enrichment.
Even though Iran’s food prices have risen 50% while the value of the currency has decreased 60%, Iran seems steadfast in its convictions to move forward with their nuclear campaign. The European Union has also taken sanctions against Iran via its selling of oil but that he done little to deter the country’s ruling party.
The Israelis under the leader of Netanyahu seem to be showing little patience as their country is positioned to be the first in line to receive an attack from Iran. And, I am wonder how Americans would feel if either Canada or Mexico or Cuba was pursuing nuclear weapons and had an intense hatred of us? Wait a minute that did happen during the Kennedy administration. As I recall, it did not matter if Americans were Republican or Democrat, they all wanted our Democratic President to put an end to that crisis.

I think it is prudent to simply let Israel have their way with Iran and paint that picture PATRIOTIC.
