‘Israel prefers US to do the job in Iran’

RT:

It would be more convenient for Israel if the US attacked Iran because they have the capacity to do so, journalist and author Yossi Melman told RT.
The Israeli intelligence expert argues that Tel Aviv’s possible strike on Iran is highly unlikely.

RT: How involved are Israeli spies inside Iran?
Yossi Melman: Iran is considered by the Israeli government and intelligence as the number one priority and therefore there is a lot of intelligence involved in order to get information. But when you say Israeli spies it doesn’t necessarily mean that Israel is recruiting and trying to send its own spies into Iran. There are other means of collecting information.
RT: Is Israel behind the assassination of Iranian scientists and also hacking the Iranian computer systems?
YM: I can’t reveal my sources but it’s our understanding that Israel was behind it. It’s based on some logic that it was a pattern identified with previous operations in other parts of the world. It’s part of the Mossad tradition in some rare cases to carry out its assassination attempts, and some other information which I don’t want to detail.
RT: The western world tried to use diplomacy to prevent North Korea from acquiring nuclear power, but it didn’t help. Do you think it’s the same situation with Iran?
