"... decreased likelihood of Israeli attack on Iran?..."

" ......... The answer to this is not clear-cut. The effect here does not have to do with the mere exposure of the site, but rather, with the influence of this exposure on global public opinion and mostly on the global powers’ conduct vis-à-vis Iran.

 The way it appeared in the past two days at least, there is room for hope that the revelations, which made headlines worldwide, will in fact reduce the likelihood of Israel taking the step that it is so uninterested in taking.

 Although the new revelations do not fully incriminate Iran in respect to the suspicions of developing nuclear weapons, they prove that it blatantly lied to the International Atomic Energy Agency and that it hid critical information about its nuclear project........

According to Israeli estimates, the revelations will encourage the major powers to respond. The first sign of this was the unusual press conference held by the leaders of the US, France, and Britain...."
