WikiLeaks: Mubarak asked for military strike against Iran.
WikiLeaks revealed Sunday that Arab nations supported a military strike on Iran in order to prevent the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear weapons, the Guardian reported.
Saudi King Abdullah and other Arab leaders also toed the line with this view, according to the secret files, and asked the US to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. The leaders of Jordan and Bahrain called on the US to put a stop to the program, even if it means using military means, the files say.
"Leaders in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt referred to Iran as 'evil', an 'existential threat' and a power that 'is going to take us to war', the Guardian reported.
The following analysis was made on this site on October 27th
Obama and Israel
So what is the Obama agenda? The Muslim world is divided between Shiite and Sunni Muslims. It is also divided between Arab muslims and others. Iran regards herself as the leader of the Shiite world and has a grand plan for leadership of the Islamic nations. Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the gulf states, amongst others, all fear the Iranian leadership challenge to the Arab world (Iranians are not arabs). Imagine if Iran developed a nuclear capability. That would upset the balance of power in the area. Every time Iran threatens Israel with annihilation, a shiver must run through these countries. And if you are not yet convinced, Saudi Arabia recently allowed Israeli planes to land in a deserted area of the kingdom, close to the Iranian border.This would also explain why the US administartion,during the last year, has supplied these nervous Sunni countries with anti-missile batteries for sums amounting to at least ten billion dollars. Obama also knows that a solution to The Palestinian Issue (even temporarily), would hold him in good stead with these countries and help create an Anti-Iranian coalition. He pressured Israel into a ten month freeze on settlement expansion. Then he kicked up a fuss about building in Jerusalem. Something that no American President before him had ventured. Anybody remember all the election promises...(Jerusalem the capital of Israel etc.)

Iran - A Contrary Opinion
I have said it before and I will say it again. Iran is more of a danger to the Sunni Arab World than it is to Israel. The combination of sabotage and sanctions are having a demoralising effect on Iran. And if what I have said so far could be considered as controversial, try this one. It suits Israel that the Iranian leader behaves like the lunatic that he is. He is by far the best PR advocate Israel could hope for. Definitely better than any "hasbara" (public diplomacy) put out by Israel. I am aware of the many articles creating fear and anxiety in the Jewish world about the danger to Israel, and I would like to say, without diminishing these opinions, that Israel has a plan A, B and C as regards the above. More important, The Iranian president should be just as worried about Israel as The Jewish Homeland is about him.
And now to what is happening inside Iran.
1.All European states, closed off their skies to IranAir and private airlines in October. This important step was barely noted by the media here, yet as both Germany and Austria also join the boycott, no state would be willing to fuel Iranian planes – and without refueling they can’t fly. No dignified company would risk its permit to enter the United States.
2.All major energy companies have already cut off their ties with Iran. This includes the British-Dutch Shell, the French Total, the Italian ENI, the Norwegian Statoil, and others. This means that Iran is already having trouble getting refined fuel. Lloyd’s, which insured the numerous trucks exporting fuel from Iran, ended its business relationship with Tehran. Now, these trucks cannot enter some states.
3.As the government in Tehran is facing a real crisis, it announced that on November 21st it shall put an end to fuel subsidies for private vehicles. Up until now, each driver received his first 60 monthly liters of fuel at the cheap price of 10 cents per liter, and dozens of more liters at a low cost. Yet in November this arrangement shall draw to an end, which may provoke the angry street.
4.Iranian GDP growth has fallen from over 6% in 2009 to below 2% in 2010, and these are their figures.
Like I always say...Follow the Money.
5.A top-secret Iranian Imam Ali Base was struck by a triple blast Tues. Oct. 12. The site held most of the Shehab-3 medium-range missile launchers Iran had stocked for striking US forces in Iraq and Israel in the event of war.
6.The cyber attack by the stuxnet virus on nuclear facilities in Iran has been well documented.
7.Another little known fact....There are only two countries in the world with spy satellites. One is the US and
the other is...you guessed...Israel.Don’t buy into Iranian propaganda. The sanctions and sabotage are forming a chokehold around the Ayatollah regime and Teheran doesn’t know how to free itself. (Next move will be to cut off the ports).
