Former Israeli leader recounts aborted 2012 strike plan against Iran and mentions discussions with President Obama The passage provides a concrete lead that a senior Israeli official (likely former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) discussed a planned 2012 Israeli strike on Iran with President Obama, indicating high‑level coordination and a decision point that was ultimately aborted. It names specific dates, military readiness, and political actors, offering actionable angles for further investigation (e.g., communications records, joint exercise timelines, decision‑making memos). While the claim is not previously documented in mainstream sources, it lacks direct evidence (no documents, emails, or corroborating testimony), placing it in the moderate‑to‑strong lead range. Key insights: Reference to a planned Israeli attack on Iran in summer 2012, with operational readiness confirmed.; Claim that the decision rested with Israeli Prime Minister (referred to as "Bibi") and President Obama after military/intelligence support was secured.; Mention of political opposition within Israeli ministries and senior military/security officials.
