Channel 2 in Israel, sourcing a `senior American official’, says that
the decision has already been made by the Israeli government to attack
Iran’s nuclear facilities.

`All U.S. intelligence officials are confident the Israeli leadership
has already decided to attack Iran, unless a significant change
happens in the coming weeks or months with the Iranian nuclear
program,’ Channel 2 reports.

The report comes just hours ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s speech to AIPAC in Washington.

AIPAC is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and is widely
considered the most powerful pro-Israel lobby group in the United
States.

`A senior official stressed in a conversation with News 2 there is a
dispute between Israel and the United States on the question of `day
after’, which means the price of attacking Iranian nuclear
facilities,’ Channel 2²s report says.

American officials have warned their Israeli counterparts about a
regional war following an attack on Iran, along with the collapse of
Israel’s stock market and an arms race in the Middle East, according
to the report.

In response to the American official’s statement to Channel 2,
`sources close to Netanyahu’ said the U.S. is doing what it can to
`handcuff’ the Israelis and to `frighten the Israeli public’.
