JERUSALEM, July 27 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has written to U.S. President George Bush complaining about U.S. rapprochement with Iran, an Israeli news Web site claims.
The Web site, DEBKAfile.com, says unnamed Israeli sources have told it Olmert complained "bitterly" in a letter that Bush did not forewarn him he would make "strategic steps toward rapprochement with Iran."
U.S. diplomat William Burns was sent by U.S. Secretary Condoleezza Rice to observe negotiations in Geneva last weekend between the United Nations Security Council countries and Iran on demands it freeze its uranium enrichment program in return for a foreign aid package. Some say the United States broke its pledge never to negotiate with Iran by sending Burns to the meeting. The Bush administration denies it.
DEBKAfile.com's source told it Olmert's letter claims Bush had "broken the promises he gave in face-to-face meetings with the prime minister earlier this year" and warned that Iran will have all components necessary to assemble a nuclear weapon by early 2009.
The Web site says its source claims Bush has not responded to the letter.
