US 'unaware' of Iran attack decision   

Gulf Today - 16 August, 2012

Israel has not yet decided whether to strike Iran over its suspect nuclear programme, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said on Tuesday, as Tehran dismissed the threat of an imminent attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Ehud Barak in recent days had stiffened their rhetoric on Iran, suggesting they were thinking more seriously of military action against Tehran’s nuclear facilities.

When asked about the issue at a press conference, Panetta offered reassurances, echoing the White House line that there is still time to negotiate a solution to the nuclear showdown.
