The U.S. ambassador to Israel was on Thursday quoted as playing down speculation that an attack on Iranian nuclear sites by either country was imminent, saying that the allies agreed force should remain a last resort.

"I don't think any decisions have been made to attack Iran in the near future," YNet, an Israeli news Web site in Hebrew, quoted Richard Jones as saying.

"Use of military force is a last option and Israel and the United States are cooperating on this matter."
