Israel will probably attack Iran in September, former CIA officer Robert Baer, who spent 21 years in the Middle East, told a Los Angeles radio station. While Baer didn’t reveal the sources behind his prediction, he referred to former Mossad Chief Meir Dagan’s warnings that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was determined to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. Israel to attack Iran in September, ex-CIA officer says “It is almost certain that Netanyahu is planning an attack, and in as much as I can guess when it’s going to be, it’s probably going to be in September, before a [UN General Assembly] vote on the Palestinian state,” he pointed out. Netanyahu is “also hoping to draw the U.S. into the conflict – and in fact, there’s a warning order inside the Pentagon to prepare for conflict with Iran,” Baer said. The retired senior CIA officer predicted that Israel would attack the Natanz nuclear facility, as well as “couple of others to degrade their capabilities.” “The Iranians will strike back where they can, and that will be in Basra and in Baghdad,” where the U.S. has a reduced troop presence, Baer said. “Our special forces are already looking at Iranian targets in Iraq and across the border (in Iran) which we would strike. What we're facing here is an escalation, rather than a planned out-and-out war... It's a nightmare scenario. We don't have enough troops in the Middle East to fight a war like that. I think we are looking into the abyss," he added. Israeli PM’s cabinet did not comment on the statement. Israel sees Iran as the biggest threat to its existence after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for destruction of the Jewish state. Israel also claims that Iran is developing a nuclear bomb, which Iran denies, claiming that its nuclear program’s goal is energy production. Israeli officials have not ruled out a possibility to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities if sanctions did not give desired results. Robert Baer (thedeadbolt.com)
