You're reading: Israel denies seeing US Iran strike plan

JERUSALEM — The Israeli government has denied an Israeli newspaper report that the Obama administration's top security official has briefed the Jewish state's prime minister on U.S. plans for a possible attack on Iran.

The Haaretz newspaper
reported Sunday that U.S. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon laid out
the plans before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an effort
to reassure Israel that Washington is prepared to act military should
diplomacy and sanctions fail to pressure the Iranians to abandon their
nuclear enrichment program.

But a senior Israeli official,
speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a confidential meeting,
said, “Nothing in the article is correct. Donilon did not meet the prime
minister for dinner, he did not meet him one-on-one, nor did he present
operational plans to attack Iran.”
