Israel issues a warning on Iran

Israel has tried to be clear that they will not tolerate a nuclear Iran, but people are not paying much attention. They are now on record saying that they will make a move before this happens. They are arguing for legitimate sanctions, but no one wants to follow their recommendations. If other countries would stop using Iranian banks and boycott all oil services and parts for repairs, it would severely destabilize Iran's rulers. The Israelis are even targeting Switzerland and Austria "in an attempt to lobby them against the Iranian threat. Both countries have announced massive long-term investments in Iranian gas and oil fields for the next decade." The Israelis compared investing in Iranian oil fields to investing in German steelworks in 1938. Hopefully those companies and countries get the message and stop trying to profit off of an evil regime. This is the same thing that emboldened Saddam Hussein, who profited billions in the Oil for Food Scandal, in which French and German companies were complicit. Note that they are not doing the business with Iran now, but why is anyone, especially in Europe? It is destabilizing the Middle East and the world. Of course, the Chinese and Russians would be willing to step right in, which is another problem in itself.
