Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Wednesday that any decision by the Zionist entity on an Iran attack was “very far away”.

Asked whether the United States was asking Israel to let them know ahead of any assault against Iran, Barak replied: “We don't have a decision to go forward with these things. We don't have a decision or a date for taking such a decision. This whole thing is very far away,” Barak told Army radio ahead of a planned visit this week by U.S. armed forces chief General Martin Dempsey.

"I don't think our ties with the United States are such that they have no idea what we are talking about," Barak said.

Asked to further explain what he meant by "far away," Barak said he did not want to make "forecasts." “It's certainly not urgent. I don't want to relate to it as though tomorrow it will happen."
