Report: Israel To Deploy Nuclear Submarines Off Iran Coast

Haaretz ^ | May 30, 2010

Israel is to deploy three submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles in the Persian Gulf, the Sunday Times reported on Sunday.

According to the Times report, one submarine had been sent over Israeli fears that ballistic missiles developed by Iran, and in the possession of Syria and Hezbollah, could be used to hit strategic sites within Israel, such as air bases and missile launchers.

Good thing so few members of the Revolutionary Guard subscribe to Haaretz or are Freepers.

Good move, Israel.

Persian Gulf:

Average depth 50 m (160 ft)

Max depth 90 m (300 ft)

I doubt it.

Israel wants publicity for this move.

I'd like to think the Israelis have better control over their intel than the US. Instead of an unexpected "leak", this may be useful psyops. Whether true or not, the Iranians and their puppets will now have to expend resources to look for a sub.

Israel stations nuclear missile subs off Iran

When I was in the Gulf in the late 80s I was on an Anti-Sub Warfare (ASW) based tin can. I ended up working in CIC the whole time because the Gulf is considered too shallow for subs...

I'm not an expert on Israeli weapons but this is the first I've heard of nuke subs. If so the towelheads in Iran may be putting in calls to the towelheads in the Bekaa Valley.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I think the subs are diesel-powered with nuclear armed missiles.

[Recon Dad]

I googled the topic and there were references to Israeli nuke subs, so I guess Iran has something to worry about.

Persian Gulf: Average depth 50 m (160 ft) Max depth 90 m (300 ft) I doubt it. The media reported it so it must be true....sarcasm off

And to tell you the truth I'm getting tired of FR's believing crap like this...

[Mr. Mojo]

Israeli fears that ballistic missiles developed by Iran, and in the possession of Syria and Hezbollah..........

Unlike last time, Israel should retaliate directly against Iran and Syria for any missiles launched against Israel by the Hezzies. And the retaliation should include cruise missile assassination strikes against Assad and Ahmadinejad. ...and Israel should make their intentions very clear to those two.

[Mr. Mojo]

The subs in question are German diesel subs. They’re very quiet for diesels, though. And they’re armed with nuke-tipped cruise missiles.

[Chode]

take out all their electric generating plants and their refinery and make them live in the dark for the next 5 years or till they get their minds right...

[Michael Barnes]

Hey Iran, the shit just got real, didn’it?

[70th Division]

OH but Iran is building Nuke stuff for energy not bombs. I am sure they will be fine. Just turn on the Nuke generators. (Sarc)

[Grampa Dave]

Maybe it will be time for some preemptive strikes the next time the Islamofacists in charge of Iran threaten to destroy Israel.

Israel should know by now, Lord 0haha and his anti Israel thugs will not support Israel nor block Iran from destroying them.

I doubt it.


Plenty of water in the Indian ocean. The Iranian coast is not just the Persian Gulf.
