Israel last month asked the United States for permission to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida reported on Friday.
The paper quoted a "US diplomatic source located in Jerusalem," but the report's credibility was not confirmed.
According to the sources, after the opposition riots broke out in Iran following June's presidential election results, Israel asked the US government for a green light to strike the country's nuclear facilities, along with other vital facilities in Iran.
The source added that the Obama administration ignored the Israeli request, that was sent by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with President Shimon Peres's signature as well.

I urged an attack during the riots. It was the best time to do it. Israel is just too concerned about the U.S. right now. Shamir couldn’t give a damn that Reagan would be pissed when they bombed the Iraqi reactor in 1981 (he was). Israel needs to act in Israel’s needs.
This smells of originating from the Iranian propaganda ministries, suggesting that the riots emboldened Israel.
I agree.
I think this report is BS. WHY would the Israelites ask for PERMISSION? From the US, of all countries? Might as well ask the UN for permission! LOL.

Kuwaiti newspapers are tabloid rags. This is not a legit source.
