Will Israel act alone to strike Iran?

This question was raised in the Israeli media Thursday, and quickly made its way onto news sites and news television stations around the world.

According to an exclusive report in The Jerusalem Post, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) is drawing up options for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities that do not include coordination with United States.

"It is always better to coordinate" with America the paper quoted a senior Defense Ministry official as saying. "But we are also preparing options that do not include coordination."

America has thus far remained steadfast in its refusal to approve or assist in an Israeli strike against the Iranian effort to produce nuclear weapons Israel fears will be used against the Jewish state.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has for years been openly advocating the destruction of Israel while pushing on in his quest to turn Iran into a nuclear power in defiance of world opinion.

Israelis accuse Ahmadinejad of denying the Nazi-perpetrated Holocaust while planning to carry out a holocaust of his own.
