Robert Baer tells LA KPFK radio that strike on Tehran likely to happen before vote on Palestinian state, that PM wants US to be involved.
羅伯特貝爾告訴 LA KPFK電台說，襲擊德黑蘭可能發生在巴勒斯坦國表決之前，即總理想要美國參與。
Israel will probably attack Iran in September, a former CIA officer who spent 21 years in the Middle East, including in Lebanon and Syria, has told a Los Angeles radio show.
以色列將可能在九月襲擊伊朗，一位在中東地區包括黎巴嫩和敘利亞花去21年的前中情局官員告訴一洛杉磯電台節目。
While Robert Baer didn’t reveal the sources behind his prediction, he referred to former Mossad chief Meir Dagan’s warnings of an Israeli attack on Iran as “no bluff.”
雖然羅伯特貝爾沒有透露他的預測背後的來源，但他提到前莫薩德首席達甘對以色列攻擊伊朗為“沒有虛張聲勢”的警告。
Baer told the KPFK Radio on Tuesday recent comments made by Dagan that an Israeli attack on Iran could lead to a regional war, “tell us with near certainty that [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu is planning an attack, and in as much as I can guess when it’s going to be, it’s probably going to be in September, before a [UN General Assembly] vote on the Palestinian state.”
貝爾週二告訴 KPFK電台，對達甘最近發表的評論即以色列襲擊伊朗可能導致地區性戰爭，“幾乎肯定的告訴我們[總理本雅明]內塔尼亞胡正在計劃攻擊，及盡我所能猜測它將是何時，它可能會在九月，在 [聯合國大會]表決巴勒斯坦國之前。“
Netanyahu is “also hoping to draw the United States into the conflict – and in fact, there’s a warning order inside the Pentagon to prepare for conflict with Iran,” Baer said.
The retired senior CIA officer predicted that Israel would attack the Natanz nuclear facility, as well as “a couple of others to degrade their capabilities.”
“The Iranians will strike back where they can, and that will be in Basra and in Baghdad,” where the US has a reduced troop presence, Baer said.
“We’ve started to look at Iran’s targets in Iraq and across the border,” he said.
Baer, however, said a regional war was unlikely.
“What we’re facing here is an escalation, not a planned all-out war,” he said.
There was no response from the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem.
