IDF Preparing Options for Strike at Iran Without U.S. Assent

[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - The IDF is drawing up options for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities that do not include coordination with the U.S. "It is always better to coordinate," one top Defense Ministry official explained, "but we are also preparing options that do not include coordination." Israeli officials have said it would be difficult, but not impossible, to launch a strike against Iran without receiving codes from the U.S. Air Force, which controls Iraqi airspace. Another Israeli official said, "There is still time and there is no need to rush into an operation right now....The regime there is already falling apart and will likely no longer be in power ten years from now."
