Guardian: US military commanders have warned their Israeli counterparts that any action against Iran would severely limit the ability of American forces in the region to mount their own operations against the Iranian nuclear programme by cutting off vital logistical support from Gulf Arab allies.
US naval, air and ground forces are dependent for bases, refuelling and supplies on Gulf Arab rulers who are deeply concerned about the progress Iran has made in its nuclear programme, but also about the rising challenge to their regimes posed by the Arab spring and the galvanising impact on popular unrest of an Israeli attack on Iran.
The US Fifth Fleet is headquartered in Bahrain and the US air force has major bases in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Senior US officers believe the one case in which they could not rely fully on those bases for military operations against Iranian installations would be if Israel acted first.

Israel leadership has been giving signals they have to make a preemptive strike on Iran is essential. The Obama Administration has been stern on their position and prevented Israel from such a drastic action.
With Romney. is he gets elected, they will easily prevail over him as that is part of an unfinished business for them.
That is the biggest fear right now.
In my opinion, the world should not support the American & Israeli Agenda to attack a sovereign Muslim country called Iran. If they attack Iran and with the support of Arab states, then the whole area (ME) will burn and destroy. The warning of World war III is already given to the world and advised to solve all problems by means of discussions and dialogues on the basis of equality and honor.
Today, already we are seeing what happened in Libya and what is happening in Syria. These counties are being destroyed to make Israel strong so that it can grab more Arab lands and become more powerful.
Pakistan is another example of destruction , where destruction is on rise and it is being weakened internally by creating hatred between different power units of the country, between different sects of people specially Shia & sunny, Pathan & Mohajir, Mohajir & Sindhi’s, hatred between different sects etc etc.
These are very well planed agenda to weaken the Muslim world by so called defenders of democracy and human rights.
They are not sincere in their actions. Their intentions are very vast, they want to rule the world.
God protect us and the world from these evil designs of these group of countries. It will bring only destruction and nothing else.
