Obama To Tell Netanyahu US Gearing Up For Iran Strike -- Times of Israel

During upcoming visit, president will convey message that window for American military operation opens in June, TV report says.


When he visits Israel next month, US President Barack Obama will tell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a “window of opportunity” for a military strike on Iran will open in June, according to an Israeli TV report Monday evening.

Netanyahu will be asked to refrain from any military action and keep a low profile, avoiding even the mention of a strike, the report said, citing unnamed officials.
