Washington - Wenn Israel glaube, dass wegen des iranischen Atomprogramms ein Militärschlag nötig sei, könnten die USA "einem anderen souveränen Staat nicht sagen, was er zu tun hat", sagte Biden dem Fernsehsender ABC. Israel könne für sich selbst entscheiden, was es in Bezug auf Iran oder einen anderen Staat tue. "Ob wir zustimmen oder nicht, sie sind berechtigt, das zu tun."

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his top deputies have not formally asked for US aid or permission for a possible military strike on Iran's nuclear program, since they fear the White House would not approve, according to two Israeli officials, The Washington Times reported on Tuesday.
A senior anonymous Israeli official was cited by the Times as saying that Netanyahu determined that "it made no sense" to press the matter after the negative response President Bush gave the Israeli prime minister's predecessor, Ehud Olmert, when he asked early last year for US aid for possible military strikes on Iran.
"There was a decision not to press this because it was probably inadequate for the engagement policy and what we know about [US President Barack] Obama's approach to Iran," he said.
