Several years ago Bush & Cheny vowed not to leave office with the Iran issue unresolved, however recently their position in regards to the issue appear on the face to be "hands tied" so to speak, althought this may be a calculated move to save face.. IMO Israel feels the need to act now as there is uncertainty on political/US support from the new US regime and perhaps they feel compelled to force Bush/Cheney into action while they still have the opportunity to do so.

But... there would be no need for "air strikes" if Iran would quit with the nuclear capability development. Add in their outspoken abject hatred of Israel plus all their sabre rattling over the decades and, well, Israel would have to be stupid not to be prepared to take out Iran's nuclear facilities.
So are you sure it is Israel that is the instigator here?
