U.S. to Israel: will assess Iran sanctions

The United States told Israel it plans to tighten economic sanctions on Iran and assess their impact at year-end, a top Israeli official said on Saturday in comments that appeared to play down military options for now.

Washington has stepped up commercial pressure on Tehran since the United Nations in December imposed sanctions over Iran's refusal to suspend activities the West fears are aimed at

The US dances to Israel's tune yet again with regard to our foreign policy.

It is very obvious that Deputy Israeli Prime Sinister Mofaz has dictated to Washington precisely what the timeline will be before any potential attack on Iran, whether that's the end of the year (in another 6 months) or sooner.
