'Israel seriously considering military action against Iran'

Sure, if I was in their position I would be too. Tensions between Israel and Iran are heating up after IRRG boasted of their ability to destroy Israel's nuclear facilities. While the Obama administration hopes that diplomacy can change the Mullahacracy's mind, they are determined to acquire nukes. Once Iran acquires nukes, and if Ahmadinejad is still in power, the Mullahacracy will use them.

In this diplomatic game, Iran has the advantage. The Western world is pinned, do nothing and Iran will acquire nukes, attack Iran and the entire Middle East could possibly erupt in war. A third possibility is a peaceful coup inside Iran, but I don't know how likely that will be.Jerusalem Post

WASHINGTON - Israel is seriously considering taking unilateral military action to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, according to a report by top US political figures and experts released Wednesday.

The report also says Israel's time frame for action is growing shorter, not only because of Iranian advances, but because Teheran might soon acquire upgraded air defenses and disperse its nuclear program to additional locations.

The report, "Preventing a Cascade of Instability," was put out by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP). It also argues that international sanctions against Iran need to be intensified urgently for the engagement the Obama administration is planning with Teheran to be effective.[...]

he bipartisan group also recommended increasing security guarantees and the supply of missile defenses and other protective measures to allies in the Middle East, both to reassure them of America's commitment to them and to dampen the perceived effectiveness, and hence appeal, of nuclear weapons for Iran.

Looks like the only real option is "attack Iran and the entire Middle East could possibly erupt in war" only because that could result in "the entire Middle East could possibly turn into a parking lot" saving future generations from having to deal with this crap.
