Worse still, as roachboy said unless it's in the next week or so, Israel could find itself without the backing or protection of the US.
It would be a very, very stupid move on the part of Israel to attack Iran.

Except that there is no love lost between the Arabs and the Persians as the long war between Iran & Iraq so pointedly demonstrated. Jordan should just be rebranded Palestine. I can't see any reason not to, and it would relieve the unbearable, and unfair stress that the Palestinians feel these days.
