32. Israel has been clamoring for war with Iran but so does Saudi Arabia
according to this latest article:

US and Israeli Tech Teams Develop "Malworm" to Take Down Iran's Computer Software

Several senior US intelligence officials confirmed large contingency planning drills for an intervention if Israel attacked Iran. Planning for such an intervention was seen as "pretty far advanced," a US official said in July.

These officials reported they were resisting such notions with all the force they could. But one cautioned, "This is no drill."

But matters became more complicated when the FBI uncovered an Iranian terrorist operation targeted in Washington, DC, that could have supported long-time American hard liners as well as Israeli supporters of some type of military attack on Iran.

A compounding factor is the Saudi position - telling President Obama the Saudis strongly support a military campaign against Iran. Saudi officials are now signaling the Israelis that Saudi King Abd'allah is in favor of a strike on Iran.
