The petrol prices are falling, the economy is improving (slowly), Iran does not yet have a nuke. In those circumstances Israeli strike, which forces petrol prices back up may have an effect of making Israel less popular in the US, rather then Obama. Israel should be mindful not to bite the hand that feeds it.

Good point. Fuel prices have been falling more recently.

But fuel prices aren't the problem - an Iranian nuke is. Israel isn't in this as a popularity contest. When Iran fails to allow sufficient inspections to verify they have no nuke program this will be a done deal. I'm calling September, but it'll be October at the latest.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Iran does not yet have a nuke. And between the time of having one and being able to use it, is the time when a major, regime changing can of woop-ass should be unleashed by everyone, not just Israel.
Israeli action before Iran has the nuke will not be effective enough and thus counterproductive in the long run.

I'd like to think there's still hope for peace: http://imgur.com/eCbcn
