is not a plan
Obama recently offered to include Israel in the US nuclear umbrella.
Haaretz, quoting an unnamed source, said the Obama administration would pledge under the proposed “nuclear umbrella” to respond to any Iranian strike on Israel with a “devastating U.S. nuclear response.”
As Richard Fernandez aptly points out.. all this does is reduce the threat to Iran, which had faced certain response from Israel. They get upgraded to the “if Barack Obama actually fulfills a promise” nuclear response plan.
A better promise would be that we will hit the areas Israel didn’t irradiate.
