Earlier today both the U.S. and Britain spoke out against possible Israeli attacks on Iran. This news comes as tensions continue to rise in the region due to Irans supposed building of a of nuclear bomb. Both the U.S. and Britain are asking that Israel wait a bit longer for the sanctions imposed by the European Union to take full effect. As of now, the sanctions are too premature to have had any real effect. Israel has been happy to accept the sanctions, but still has yet to rule out military force if the sanctions prove to be weak.This all comes in the wake of Iran announcing that it will cut oil distribution to France and Britain, a major blow to the efforts of the European Union. As a side note, the European Union makes up about eighteen percent of Iran's oil exports.
