Israel Accuses Iran Of Sponsoring Rocket Attacks From Syria

Politico: Israel says Iran is sponsoring rocket attacks

As Congress nears a vote on the Iranian nuclear deal, Israel says Tehran is responsible for a “indiscriminate and premeditated terrorist attack” from Syrian territory.

Israel says Iran was behind rocket attacks into its territory from Syria last week, raising new questions about Tehran’s regional aggression in the wake of last month’s nuclear agreement.

Following the rocket attacks, which Israel says were coordinated by an Iranian military commander, Israeli diplomats have filed a formal complaint with the U.S. and its partners in the July 14 nuclear accord charging Iran with “an indiscriminate and premeditated terrorist attack against Israeli territory without any provocation.”

No Israelis were injured in the Thursday attack, and some see the complaint as diplomatic theater by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, designed to undermine the deal ahead of a planned mid-September vote in Congress.

WNU Editor: I suspect that the Israelis are monitoring the communications, and are probably able to connect recent attacks to the Iranian presence in the region. But as to what impact it will have on the Iranian nuclear deal .... I do not have any reason to believe that the White House even cares.
