oracle when you sat down together a couple of weeks ago you said it was not in israel's interest to launch a military strike on iran why do you think israel should not strike you when i don't think that the israeli force is large enough or strong enough to actually. destroy the iranian nuclear weapon project might cause them some damage but it would not. destroy it so it would not achieve anything do you think that the u.s. would consider carburated with israel in such a strike but quietly it's first of all there's no quietly in this issue because things were planned to come out sooner or later so to begin with. on the one hand i think president obama has not ruled out an american strike yet even though his military is very reluctant to get into another war in the middle

east i don't think he would do it during an election year so can't let the reason for its all to launch a strike now before there's a new american leadership in place. there is a sink there is a future in the united states and that is what we are going to do that an israeli attack mode draw the united states into that war probably prematurely it would force the united states to get into war because any reunion konqueror attack would almost undoubtedly be targeted against the united states as well as against israel so you know it would be drawn this root cause i think such an action without an american consent would cause agree damage to israeli israel's relations strategic relations with the united states for an extended period of time do you think that the past sanctions will simply declared against

iran are enough to satisfy the israeli government not in order to strike the might satisfy for time being i think the general. attitude in israel is that the sanctions are not enough and they are not going to convince iran even if they would be much for would not convince iran not to continue its nuclear weapon project how do you measure iran's capability to launch a counter attack iran has a couple gritty of launching missile attacks on israel direct attack on israel. with a few hundred thousand. what would be the effect of mr sutton what what is their accuracy of these missile i don't know all. gone supposedly would be worse off than we have been in one thousand nine hundred one when we were under

iraqi missile attack them and it was cost no one actually got killed but there's no guarantee that that is not going to want to happen we had an old arrow which we didn't have then which would be able to intercept least some part of the u.s. missiles attacks and the greatest damage would be as in the case of katyusha rocket attacks cannot make damage to its road because under such attack everything comes to a standstill and what about arab support for his reign strike on iran you mentioned american involvement but surely it's also needs arab assistance in the form of landing rights and even feeling assistance many arab countries are very cautious of iran and. the for example saudi arabia has been urging the united states around for many years now they are terrified we really are terrified

on the other hand assistance to israel is still out of their agenda in the open israel would have to fly over arab countries but it is their own sole before and it can be done without their consent or with. korver consent and we could get assistance or landing rights from countries like i don't believe saudi arabia would do it but the united arab emirates and my do that. just remember that the distance from the united arab emirates to northern iran is as far as from israel maybe even longer so. this kind of a landing rights would be helpful only in case of attacking targets were told and you run another. covertly. might be but

again it's problematic or might be given by a job. on the north side of the rain and border they have no good relations with israel trouble is that to get from israel to observer ahead you have to overfly turkey and at the moment i don't see with the current relations between israel and turkey i don't see the giving any israel any if we look across the border with syria why is serious so important for western nations could it be that it's the last obstacle before any invasion of iran that is a tough one why syria is important. is it important. to the west and the state i don't see any western country in the intervening in syria as they did in libya and yet there is so much attention and focus on syria and particularly army president bashar assad's handling of the situation so how do

you explain that well. that would be expected from the west it's much closer to europe and with traditional relations traditional relations with countries like france. and when such atrocities take place them and they cannot stay quiet is there a connection between what is happening in syria and what is happening in iran where there is a connection or obvious connection because iraq is syria has been. the us that region has been iran's closest alley for over two decades i mean. this is all in the mean out of iran into lebanon into into the whole region into influencing israel if us of the region falls apart. iran is standing to lose

a very strong rally because any government will take place to take the government in syria whether it be a western ally and democracy which is not very likely or muslim muslim brothers who are sunnis were very hostile to shoes she ate in iran. any rigi. would be either hostile to iran or far from corporate in with iran as much as. bashar al assad's regime has been so iran is standing to lose and rigid supply of weapons to the syrian opposition enough to upset the regional arms balance but right now no plate no what i hear i think saudi arabia's told and started to supplying them with

weapons but we're talking about like weapons so this as far as or as long as that is what is happening i don't think this will change them in the balance of power in the belief that they're still very weak but the possible that they can be somewhat tenuous interventions in syria and iran doesn't seem likely i don't see the european european union or nato or going into syria and i don't see the european union or nato. taking part in an attack against iran this could be nato could but you know who would try to draw all the europeans into attacking targets in iran. doesn't seem very likely if disappear thank you very much for joining us now you're welcome.
