Threatening Iran

Israeli leaders spent last week talking tough about Iran and
threatening possible military action. The United States and the other
major powers need to address Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, but with more
assertive diplomacy — including greater financial pressures — not more
threats or war planning.
The Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, who is bedeviled by a
corruption scandal that could drive him from office, led the charge.
“The Iranian threat must be stopped by all possible means,” he said in
Washington, a day before meeting President Bush at the White House.
