That would explain all the rhetoric about "Iranian backed Hamas" that Israel and the US media were using as their drumbeat for the last several weeks.

Israel has to work fast to destroy Iran soon because Iran's going to be having elections this summer and it doesn't look to good for Ahmadinejad to get reelected. Without Ahmadinejad as their boogey man, it will be a lot more difficult for them to make a case for bombing the shit out of Iran, especially with Obama in office.
