Israeli pressure on Iran

Israel officials are putting pressure on the U.S. to do something about Iran's nuclear program -- though it's not clear to me what they want done.

Industry and Trade minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer said yesterday he's worried about U.S. "appeasement" towards Iran.

And Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the U.S., said the "clock [is] ticking" towards an Iranian nuclear bomb that could "wipe Israel off the map." Oren made his comments during a "conversation" with Jeffrey Goldberg, whose main role at The Atlantic appears to be copying down statements from his friends in the Israeli government. (You can view some video of the conversation here, but the parts about Iran are mysteriously missing.)

But what do they want done? More economic sanctions? The John Bolton solution? I don't see any constructive ideas here -- just criticism.
