Well its a bold strategic move - it buys Israel sometime basically to beef up its air defences , Israel knows in a even fight vs Equal strength force it will get rubished out quite fast
Its only chance is to join international peace efforts
Israel can't afford , Turkey , Pakistan , Eygypt to be part of coallition force against it
It mis judged its own moves by supplying Phalcons to India and now angering Turkey would spell desaster for its force - and if Saudia Adds in Israel will dead goose.
Together with angry iran it can't afford to be so childish to attack and kill Turkish aid workers
The goal is simply to , seperate Iran from russia / china / turkey
The recnet PKK attacks also seem to spark the move as it could have been negatively seen in Turkey and escalated things
US hold , a wild card for the nations in region
1- Iran (Revolutionary guard - Hizbo connection)
2- Turkey (The same old genocide tag card)
3- Pakistan (Now the Kerry Lugar bill + Taliban+ Mumbai)
4- Saudia (Binladin - Sunni militant tag + Money lundring)
5- China (Tiwan human rights trump card)
6- North Korea (South Korean sub , weapons card)
7- Japan (The fear of North Korea trump card)
8- Egypt (The human rights trump card by Mubarak)
9- Libya (The airplane bombing trump card)
10- United Nation (All Presidents who don't aree get ousted)
Infact based on reviewing all the American allies , US always like to hold a hidden card up their sleeves to pressureing these governments
The tactic is when every these nations try to nationalize operations the media releases mass publishing on these key focus points weeks at time , and that pressurizes gov into accepting Ameircan terms
@ Present , Iran is put on Sanction for a end of year engagement
US is actively moving in carrier fleets to North Korea and Gulf , also US is first installing , anti missile shields in Europe as well in case a larger war erupts and if it miscalculates Iran's strength.
Recently poland has agreed to install missile defence sheild to the dismay of Russians , who in their part may sell the S300 to iran anyways even if they had publically said no.
Also US is trying to create shortage of food, money and oil in Iran to create a destabalizing environment similar to 10 year santion on Iraq.
So the game plan right now is to keep iran seperated from regional powers !!! divide and conquer
