The powderkeg in the Middle East might be close to blowing. I've been monitoring this site (thanks to Peter Presland for the introduction) and I'm not sure what to make of this latest piece from the pro-Israeli Debka File, but it seems that at their latest meeting, Netanyahu has persuaded Obama to see things his way, at least on the domestic front.

It could indicate that Obama is keen to make concessions in order to forestall a pre-emptive strike on Iran by IDF forces, but the scrolling newsflashes indicating that British, German, UAR and Kuwaiti airports have refused to refuel Iranian planes are disturbing. Iran has no refining capacity and the latest Zionist sponsored sanctions are going to bite Iran domestically, and they already have a degree of internal unrest.
I think Debka sometimes indulges in wishful thinking, but I wonder how long Iran can hold out in the face of unending provocation. It doesn't look good.
