'Just World News' with Helena Cobban: Does Obama understand Israel's war goal in Iran?
Helana Cobban on Israel's motives in attacking Iran: "There is good reason to believe that the goal would be not the direct physical destruction/incapacitation of Iran's nuclear programs but rather, to trigger an all-out US-Iran war in the course of which, Israel's planners hope, the US would do the dirty work in Iran that it is unable to do itself." This makes sense if you review military experts on how difficult it would be to simply stop the nuclear program, and why regime change (through war) may be the option some Israeli strategic planners are considering.
