Iran ready to strike at Israel’s nuclear heart
June 29, 2008
Iran has moved ballistic missiles into launch positions, with Israel’s Dimona nuclear plant among the possible targets, defence sources said last week.
The movement of Shahab-3B missiles, which have an estimated range of more than 1,250 miles, followed a large-scale exercise earlier this month in which the Israeli air force flew en masse over the Mediterranean in an apparent rehearsal for a threatened attack on Iran’s nuclear installations. Israel believes Iran’s nuclear programme is aimed at acquiring nuclear weapons. The sources said Iran was preparing to retaliate for any onslaught by firing missiles at Dimona, where Israel’s own nuclear weapons are believed to be made.
Major-General Mohammad Jafari, the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, told a Tehran daily: “This country [Israel] is completely within the range of the Islamic Republic’s missiles. Our missile power and capability are such that the Zionist regime – despite all its abilities – cannot confront it.”

OPINION-OBSERVATION:
The Iranian government and other associated mad minions have upped the propaganda and rhetoric recently probably to the highest level that I have seen on the internet, fwiw.
ISLAMABAD: The government has increased security around foreign embassies and the offices of international donor agencies in the federal capital in the wake of the military operation in the restive areas of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), sources said on Saturday.
Sources in the Interior Ministry told Daily Times that fresh instructions have been issued to all departments concerned to make foolproof security arrangements around important government buildings, especially foreign embassies and missions situated in and outside the diplomatic enclave.
“Security has already been enhanced in the capital but we have issued fresh instructions to all the departments concerned to remain extra vigilant in the wake of the operation in the NWFP,” a senior Interior Ministry official said. He said security agencies feared that militants might target foreign missions in the federal capital.
He said security agencies feared that militants might target foreign missions in the federal capital, much like an unidentified suicide bomber attacked the Danish embassy in Islamabad on June 3, killing at least eight people and injuring nearly 30 others.
