Israel, U.S. Diverge Over Iran Strategy
The United States and Israel are openly disagreeing over how urgently they should address the Iranian nuclear crisis, with Jerusalem warning that Tehran is closer to having a nuclear bomb than Washington appears ready to assess, the New York Times reported Saturday.The dispute centers around U.S. President Barack Obama's willingness to hold direct talks with Iran after comprehensively reviewing U.S. strategy. Israel has urged Washington to complete any new diplomatic initiatives quickly -- "by late spring or early summer," according to one Israeli intelligence official -- but the Obama administration is considering waiting for the completion of Iran's presidential elections in June.
