JERUSALEM – The red light Washington has been showing Jerusalem regarding an Israeli air strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities has changed color recently, according to the previous head of Israeli military intelligence.

“The American stance on an Israeli strike has changed dramatically recently,” retired Gen. Amos Yadlin said in an interview on Israel Army Radio on Wednesday. “The music I’ve been hearing lately from Washington says ‘If this is truly an overriding Israeli security interest, and you think you want to strike,” then the light hasn’t changed to green, I think, but it’s definitely yellow.”

Yadlin is former military attache in Washington and still has close ties with officials there. He was one of the eight Israeli pilots who destroyed Iraq’s nuclear reactor in 1981 and was intelligence chief in 2007 when a structure being built for Syria’s secret nuclear program was destroyed by aircraft, reportedly Israeli. He retired from the armed forces three years ago.
