Israeli intelligence: Iran Will Wait for Bush Exit
The Israeli intelligence community has reported its conclusion that Iran has decided to maintain restraint until the departure of U.S. President George Bush and that its allies hope for the election of Sen. Barack Obama.
The intelligence community has assessed that Iran and Syria would continue preparations for war with Israel and the United States but would seek to maintain regional calm until the new administration takes office in January 2009.
“They are unlikely to begin a war with Israel while President Bush is still in office,” Israeli military intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin said.
