MY THOUGHTS
Despicable is the best word to describe the behavior of US President Obama. He has sent messages via European nations that the United States will not support or defend Israel from an Iranian attacks so Iran will leave US interests alone. Therefore, Israel is no longer an American interest. The despicable behavior of this President is outrageous. The problem with many Americans is that 50% of the population gets some kind of government handout, and their love of money trumps the Scriptural command to pray and support Israel, support life, and Biblical marriage. This is another commentary that proves Israel only has God on their side, and those who have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Ezekiel speaks of a time where Tarshish and her young lions will not support Israel. The United States and its European allies are those very nations. I do not see Israel attacking Iran if there is no support from anyone in the world. Israeli jets would have to go through Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, or through the Red Sea/Persian Gulf, which means the United States have to give the ok for any of the routes above. However, Iran seemingly can attack Israel as long American interests are not harmed. The selfishness of the American foreign policy is sick and hellish. Sadly, too many people are in love in this world and are very blind. One day, God will send a strong delusion to the world, which will coincide with the rise of the Antichrist.
The judgment of God is here and is coming with a firestorm. The love of many and self will be the downfall of many. Israel, in my opinion, is less likely to attack Iran now, but it is more likely Iran will attack Israel. Another report showed the Americans made a deal with the Russians that America will not militarily back Israel if Russia will not militarily back Syria and Iran. Russia will not keep their promises, and a surprise attack is coming, and the world will know God backs Israel, but they will not generally accept that reality. Time will tell, but I can see God and Ezekiel talking about the coming opportunity to spread God's promises to a lost world.

SCRIPTURE
The United States has indirectly informed Iran, via two European nations, that it would not back an Israeli strike against the country's nuclear facilities, as long as Tehran refrains from attacking American interests in the Persian Gulf, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday.
According to the report, Washington used covert back-channels in Europe to clarify that the US does not intend to back Israel in a strike that may spark a regional conflict.
In return, Washington reportedly expects Iran to steer clear of strategic American assets in the Persian Gulf, such as military bases and aircraft carriers.
Israeli officials reported an unprecedented low in the two nations' defense ties, which stems from the Obama administration's desire to warn Israel against mounting an uncoordinated attack on Iran.
The New York Times reported Monday that US President Barack Obama is promoting a series of steps meant to curb an Israeli offensive against Iran, while forcing the Islamic Republic to take the nuclear negotiations more seriously.
