Don't surprise me with strike on Iran, Obama warns Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flies to the US for talks with President Obama next week, having already been warned not to "surprise" Washington with an Israeli military operation against Iran, according to the liberal daily Haaretz.
On the eve of talks which are seen as crucial to defining the future of the Middle East peace process, the US President was reported to have dispatched an unnamed envoy to warn the Israeli leader of US concern that Israel could act unilaterally against Iran.
The message was said to have been conveyed to Mr Netanyahu after an earlier meeting in Washington at which an envoy representing the Israeli Prime Minister had discussed the US President's initiative to open dialogue with Tehran. That meeting was reportedly held with the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and the President's national security adviser, James Jones.
