With recent talk from new Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggesting he may strike Iran, tensions in the region have escelated even beyond their normally high levels.
This news, in conjunction with U.S. General David Patraeus' comments that Isreal might attack Iran even without U.S. backing, has placed this front on center stage alongside the North Korean rocket launch.
Normally, talk coming from the Israelis and Iranians concerning threats of violence would not surprise anyone. Such talk has occured for decades, but what we haven't seen is increased security threats on U.S. soil in relation to those tensions.
The NYPD has plans to increase security in heavy Jewish areas in preperation for a potential conflict between the two Middle East nations.
The fact that Israel and Iran are headed for a military showdown does not surprise anyone; the fact that American police officers are actively planning for possible physical retaliation should be more of a head turner.
