I'm Just Blown Away

It seems every six months or so we see a leak to the Jerusalem Post from Israeli defense officials stating plans to attack Iran. This time around the difference is that Israel is openly saying it's not going to wait for the US to approve of an attack.
Israel is drawing up plans to attack Iran's nuclear facilities and is prepared to launch a strike without backing from the US, it has been reported.

Officials in the Israeli Defence Ministry told the Jerusalem Post that while they prefer to act in consultation with the US, they were preparing plans that would allow them to act in isolation.

"It is always better to coordinate," a senior Defence Ministry official told the newspaper. "But we are also preparing options that do not include coordination."

Will Israel go off the reservation, or is that the plan all along?
