any risk says the u.s. is trying to satisfy israel comes to keeping tabs on iran. but not sure that iran will go ahead with this idea if things remain as they are right now however if we see some sanctions increase store for more tired or harsher sanctions then we might resort to other tricks that might have up at the sleeve including taking some measures in the trade of hormones but i think that you can also look at this from another angle president obama has been accused a lot by birth the israelis and by republicans of being too soft on iran and recently a number of senators even sent a letter to obama urging him to make the military option appear more credible it might also be related to some internal factors inside the u.s. and also related to american genuine american fears that israel might go ahead and
