U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently said that an Israeli strike on Iran, amid the Islamic Republic’s nuclear threat, is “not in anyone’s interest.”

“The U.S. has worked very hard with Israel on all levels from the military, intelligence, strategic, and diplomatic level to make sure we were sharing information,” she told ABC News. “It’s our very strong belief, as President Obama conveyed to the Israelis, that it is not in anyone’s interest for them to take unilateral action.”

According to reports, Clinton stressed that diplomacy is path that is in “everyone’s interest” but did not offer any alternatives if talks with Iran fail.
