According to an unnamed source within the Israeli security, U.S. President George W. Bush will open a third front in the Middle East – in Iran this time – if the ongoing talks with Teheran regarding its nuclear program fail.

The information made it to the wide public via the Israeli Web site DEBKAfile.com, which quoted Israel National Radio reporting that a "highly placed security-political" official sustained that the U.S. President would launch Iran’s invasion some when between Nov. 4, the date of the U.S. presidential election, and his last day in office in January 2009 if the diplomatic efforts prove to be unsuccessful in convincing Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program.

The talks held at Geneva between the western powers and Iran ended in deadlock on Saturday. The Bush administration decided to send a senior American official to the table.
Secretary of state for political affairs William J. Burns attended the discussions. It was the first time in three decades when a senior American official attended diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Iran since the two countries broke off diplomatic ties in 1980.

The United States, France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China took part at the talks and tried to convince Iran to accept a compromise. Iran answered with a document that did not address the issue of its nuclear program. Teheran’s diplomats made it clear that they considered the issue nonnegotiable.
