       A retired Army general and leading expert on terrorism says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may soon be compelled to take decisive action against the rogue regime in Iran.


Israel was recently compelled to dispatch two more warships to the Red Sea border with Egypt in response to a warning about another planned terrorist attack from Egypt against southern Israel. Fox News also reports that Iran dispatched its 15th fleet to the Red Sea, allegedly to combat piracy.

Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin (USA-Ret) is an original member of Delta Force and author of the new novel, Kiloton Threat, which deals with the Iranian nuclear program. He reminds that Iranian strongman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is committed to wiping Israel off the face of the globe.

"It is heartfelt. It is essentially expressing his theology that says that the 'Mahdi,' or the 12th Imam, will only return in an atmosphere of chaos and bloodshed," Boykin explains. "And as far as Ahmadinejad and the Supreme Council are concerned, the best way to create that chaos and bloodshed would be to just destroy Israel, particularly using a nuclear weapon."

So the general believes Israel will have to prevent Iran from getting that weapon.

"I think that Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to a very critical point, where he's going to be left with no options except to try and do a preemptive strike on this nuclear program," Boykin "There is absolutely no other option ... other than just taking out the leadership of Iran. But the probabilities of being able to do that are very, very slim."

If Israel is compelled to launch that preemptive strike, Boykin believes it will do so without the help of the Barack Obama-led United States.
