'...There are various aspects to Biden's statement: it might be based on actual facts, and this would imply that the Americans have information regarding a possible Israeli strike against Iran - especially in view of Israel's air force training last year, particularly on airborne fuel-filling. In this case, Biden's words would not only be an attempt to thwart Israel's plans, but also avoid in advance the responsibility of any potential strike and its ensuing Iranian direct or indirect response (through the South Lebanon and Gaza fronts). On the other hand, the statement may be a continuation of the Obama administration's courting of Iran and its desire to negotiate with it on the nuclear issue as well as the regional issues that include Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan, through a peaceful approach and a call to Iran to meet the United States halfway...... Will he be successful? What will be the stance of the US lobbies that support Israel? "
