‘Risk of Israel, US strike on Iran has tripled’
The chance of a military strike on Iran has roughly tripled in the past year, the senior geopolitical risk analyst at Barclays Capital said on Thursday.
New York-based analyst Helina Croft, writing in a note titled ‘Blowback: Assessing the fallout from the Iranian sanctions’, said even increased sanctions without an all-out military strike was increasing the risk of a spike in oil prices.
“We still contend that the risk of either an Israeli or US strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities remains low, but it has risen, in our view, from 5-10% last year to 25-30% now,” Croft said.

I think the risk is high but Israel can’t pull a raid of the magnitude required to knock out Iran’s nuclear plants…without the help of the US Airforce because there are too many sites and the distance is too far….
However, with a pansy administration like we currently have in Washington, Israel won’t be able to depend on us for anything…
Here’s an example of the government’s cowardice….The Congress voted 100% to close the World Bank to Iran but the Obama regime asked them to not do it….GO Figure….Liberal Pussies…
