<h3><img src="images/stories/breitbart_logo.png" border="0" alt="Breitbart" hspace="7" align="left" />Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is <a href="http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-determined-to-attack-iran-before-us-elections-claims-israels-channel-10/">determined</a> to strike Iran before the 2012 election. A report from Israel’s Channel 10 news claims that since the harsher international sanctions have yielded nothing from Iran, the time to act cannot be delayed. There was talk that Netanyahu would meet with Barack Obama after the late September UN General Assembly meeting in New York, but that meeting seems to have been scuttled.</h3>
<p>In the last week, Hezbollah MP Walid Sakariya <a href="http://www.timesofisrael.com/irans-nuclear-program-designed-to-finish-off-israel-hezbollah-mp-says/">said</a> that the nuclear weapon Iran is allegedly developing is specifically to eradicate Israel. The retired general said that, once Iran had nuclear weapons, their use would benefit Syria as well as Iran: “This nuclear weapon is intended to create a balance of terror with Israel, to finish off the Zionist enterprise, and to end all Israeli aggression against the Arab nation. The entire equation in the Middle East will change.”</p>
<p>Of course, Iranian officials always state that their nuclear program is only meant to be used peacefully. But now, Egypt’s president Mohammed Morsi, the virulent Muslim Brotherhood’s leader, is visiting Iran, which is the first time since the Camp David accords that the ties between the two countries have been reestablished.</p>
