TEHRAN (JWN and agencies)—Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused Turkey of agreeing to install an early warning system that is designed to protect Israel against Iranian missile attack if war breaks out between Iran and Israel.
“The missile defense shield is aimed at defending the Zionist regime. They don’t want to let our missiles land in the occupied territories [Israel] if one day they take action against us. That’s why they put it there,” Ahmadinejad told the Iranian nation in a televised address late Tuesday.
Turkey, a NATO member, agreed in September to deploy a NATO early warning radar system in the country’s southeast as part of the organization’s missile defense system.

This is despite the fact that Iran has recently test-fired long-range ballistic missiles capable of hitting anywhere in Europe and is trying to develop nuclear warheads for them.

IMO Israel has a working ABM system that depends not upon conventional ABM warheads but nuclear warheads.
Why try to swat an incoming missile with a pop when you have more potent capability?
And Jericho3 gives Israel the ability to strike any point on the globe with 1MT+ warheads.
Mess with Israel at your peril...you have been warned.
Ahmadinejad is a friend of Israel????
CIA operative spreading disinformation in hopes of having Mahmoud liquidated by his own regime.

I believe Turkey has refused to share info with Israel. NATO's ok with that, so Iran should be pleased.
Let’s spread that rumor!
Make it viral!
Ha Ha Ha!

Luk 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Luk 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Luk 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Luk 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
Luk 12:20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
