Israel 'will' launch its much-predicted military strike against Iran, should Washington's overture to Tehran prove to be of no avail.

He, however, went on to warn that if such talks do not soften the Iranian president's approach "we'll strike him."
President Barack Obama's administration has pledged to lean towards making a major diplomatic overture to Iran -- one that is expected to end 30 years of diplomatic animosity between the two countries as well as resolving Iran's nuclear dispute.
Peres refused to reveal details of the military plan to take out Iran's nuclear infrastructure, but confirmed that Israel would not launch a unilateral strike against Iran.
