John Bolton, a former United Nations ambassador appointed by President George W. Bush, has predicted that the state of Israel will attack Iran's nuclear sites before the next US president is sworn in.

In an interview with UK's The Telegraph, Bolton said the Arab world would be 'pleased' at news of such an attack. "It [the reaction] will be positive privately," he said. "I think there'll be public denunciations but no action."

However, Bolton panned the idea that an attack on Iran would be carried out by American forces, stating: ... "the administration has essentially given up that possibility. I don't think it's serious any more. If you had asked me a year ago, I would have said I thought it was a real possibility. I just don't think it's in the cards."
