Israeli navy in Suez Canal prepares for potential attack on Iran

Two Israeli missile class warships have sailed through the Suez Canal ten days after a submarine capable of launching a nuclear missile strike, in preparation for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The deployment into the Red Sea, confirmed by Israeli officials, was a clear signal that Israel was able to put its strike force within range of Iran at short notice. It came before long-range exercises by the Israeli air force in America later this month and the test of a missile defence shield at a US missile range in the Pacific Ocean.

But each has the same legal rights?

Legal rights? Under what law?

I’m calling for a second, third, and fourth opinion for a possible troll sighting on this one......

(and it’s not softwarecreator, guys)

Another reason China wouldn’t nuke America is we owe them too much money. They aren’t stupid, just amoral.

[metmom]

Amen. The people in Iran hate the islamic regime. The Iranians I know are neat people.

It’s only the islamists who need to go.

[califamily4W]

Today, I'd rather have second place in charge.

I just did the dental floss test on our globe. Moving into the Red Sea does not reduce the distance to the nuclear facilities in Iran. But it does fan out Israel's nuclear forces into a strategic triad; land, sea, and subsea. If missiles are going to fly, overflight is not an issue, unless they believe the US assets in Iraq would be ordered to shoot down a preemptive or retaliatory strike by the brethren of Jesus. We will be praying for them. Are we in the last half of the 39th chapter of Ezechiel?

Doesn’t suprise me a bit. The Egyptians and Saudis fear Iran more than they hate Isreal.

Are we in the last half of the 39th chapter of Ezechiel?

No.

[metmom]

And they would know. It would do well to pay attention to their reaction to Iran.

Why several dates in August?

[justa-hairyape]

Good points, but firing from the Red Sea will open the Sauds and Egypt up to Iranian counter attacks. So the Sunnis must have come to the realization that the Shia must be stopped from going nuclear. Dont know why anyone expected US troops to be pulled out of Iraq before this Sunni/Shia conflict was settled.

Israel has decided to go ahead. Taking into account political geopolitical, military preparedness, and climatic conditions, there are two windows:

there are two windows: between July 21 and 24 and between August 6 and 8

[romanesq]

Sorry, still don’t understand what these windows mean on the calendar.

Prayers for Israel.

[unkus]

Yep...you’re looking good.

Screw the Bastards!

They have no idea what they’re up against.

And , I don’ care if I post my expressions in the “open”.

We’re Americans!!!!!!!!

[ChristianDefender]

Can you explain why Israel can have nukes and Iran can’t? I realize that Israel didn’t get them on their own (your money) but in terms of “sovereignty of a nation” explain why one sovereign nation can have them and why one can’t and then explain how you would deal with China on the issue. Thanks for your help.

Uh-oh! Big Trouble Dude... INCOMING!

Who'd likely stab you if offended, a muzzie or a jew? - my .02 cents :-)
