Israel's energy minister on Friday warned tensions between
Iran and the
United States were reaching a breaking point and an
Israeli unity government deal was needed to stave off the threat of conflict following an inconclusive
election last week.
Washington has blamed Iran for a Sept. 14 attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities, and on Thursday announced it would send radar systems and Patriot missiles to the kingdom to bolster its defenses.
Iran denies carrying out the attack.
