Attempt to ensnare Iran?

I'm apparently not alone to think that this is orchestrated by Washington. Well, it's not exactly what the BBC is saying but, I repeat, Israel could never do this if the Americans opposed it. Or it wouldn't because of the price - financial and otherwise - it would pay. At the very least they have the American OK for the war crimes they are commiting.

Israel's use of overwhelming force against targets in Lebanon during this conflict has led some experts to argue that the crisis was not set in motion by Iran but is, rather, a pre-emptive trap by Israel to ensnare Iran.

Keep in mind the war-like noises Washington has been making about Iran as part of the "Axis of Evil" for years.
