Israeli Minister Warns Pentagon of Iranian Nuclear Plants, Hints at Strike NewsMax.com Breaking News

Informed sources in Washington tell NewsMax that when Israeli Defense Minister Director General Amos Yaron visited the Pentagon during the last week of August, he raised Israeli concerns about Iran's growing capabilities to build nuclear weapons.

With the help of Russian scientists, Iran has made dramatic advances and is believed to be far ahead of neighbors like Iraq in building new weapons of mass destruction.

That worries the Israelis.

The last time Israel was confronted with such a problem, it acted. In 1981, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin ordered air strikes against Iraq's Osirak nuclear facilities.

One source reveals that an Israeli strike on Iran's facilities is all but certain and that Yaron has hinted strongly it may just happen.

Israel will likely tie any action against these facilities with a broader air attack on Iranian-backed missile units now operating in Lebanon.

In recent months, the Israeli government has been carefully linking Iran to anti-military activities in Lebanon in a carefully crafted PR strategy to demonstrate to the world that Iran is no innocent bystander, but a partner with key Arab countries, like Syria, bent on destroying Israel.

Take, for example, New York Post Uri Dan's column of Aug. 26, entitled "Iran Exporting Its Brand of Terror to the Border." Dan is considered a long-time member of Ariel Sharon's kitchen Cabinet.

Dan begins, "Iran has turned central and southern Lebanon into a powder keg with a devastating arsenal of 8,000 Katyusha rockets."

He adds that Iran has actually put members of its Revolutionary Guard in control of missile units that have a long range and can hit Tel Aviv.

Dan also alleges that Iran and Syria are coordinating military moves to "open a second front" against Israel if the Palestinian crisis blows. When Israel strikes against these missiles, expected a broader sweep, which will include air strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran.

Gee, what a shock, where does anyone think the first two Iranian nuclear bombs will be aimed...Israel and the USA of course...

Just one more step towards an inevitable Mid-East War that will no doubt bring us on the verge of World War III. It's not a matter of "If" it's a matter of "When".

Those UN sponsored schools aren't working:

Tent = Tenet
amirican = American (LOL, AMIRican)
Eivel = Evil (Satan never was a good speller)


I hope spelling is needed in Nuke bomb making!

Iran's Revolutionary Guard is essentially a separate entity from the rest of the military, they have their own units, command structure, communications networks, etc. The principle difference between regular units and Revolutionary Guard units is that the Revolutionary Guard is tasked with spreading revolution, i.e. Islam and Islamic goals and fundamental beliefs throughout the region. Since about 95% of Iranian Muslims are of the Shiite sect, its a good bet that they will be vigorous in these actions.

So yes, It's a safe bet that Iran's Revolutionary Guard will be involved in anything it can to spread Islamic influence, and hurt Israeli/western concerns and delivering Katyusha rockets to Hizbollah is a pretty easy thing...

Does anyone actually think Iran will go nuclear? Although I support Israel, this may be them drumming up support from us and giving themselves excuses for use of force. Just a thought.

[TheBlueMax]

Please, they've been trying to "go nuclear" for over ten years. Iran is just as determined as Iraq to possess nuclear arms, maybe more so.

[A+Bert (Outta here)]

More insanity- Does Israel have nuclear weapons. My opinion of a bunch of jerks and the sooner you kill each other off the better. China the way of the future.

[Poohbah]

Let's put it this way--the Israelis have had nukes since about 1968.

Even when it looked like the sky was falling in 1973, they managed to act with restraint.

Are you willing to bet on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps--the Iranian military branch charged with spreading Islamic revolt around the world--exercising similar restraint?

Ain't going to happen. If it was going to it would have already taken place.

When it comes to religious nuts of any kind I refuse to take bets. Be they Christian, Jewish or Moslem. History is on my side.

Thank God my name is not in the newspapers, but the words, "American" and "Tenent" and "Evil" are.

Further I was making a joke - and pointing why the Isaelis have Nukes and others do not.
