Israel to Iran: Do What we Tell you or Else

It looks like Israel is going ahead and bomb Iran. This is very bad since it will probably drag us into a greater Middle East conflict:
ISRAEL has warned Iran to either co-operate with the West over its uranium enrichment program or face military action.

[...]Mr Prosor, who served Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, as his senior adviser on Iran, said that time for resolving the nuclear issue was rapidly running out. But he was non-committal about the possibility of Israel launching military action.

[...]AN ISRAELI cabinet minister has cancelled a trip to Britain out of concern he could be arrested on war crimes charges, an aide said yesterday.

Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter, a former head of the Shin Bet domestic intelligence service, was to have taken part in a conference on Middle East peacemaking but backed out on the advice of Israel's Foreign Ministry, the aide said. Mr Dichter was among the planners of the 2002 assassination of Hamas commander Salah Shehadeh in an Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip.

The operation also killed 14 Palestinian civilians.
