Israel laying foundation for Iran war
Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:29:32
Israel has reportedly unveiled plans to prepare for missile strikes it believes will be launched by states like Iran and Syria.
(In response to attacks its planning on both states, as well as Lebanon.)
During the five-day preparation operation, Israel will reportedly simulate conventional and non-conventional missile strikes to test emergency response against Iran and Syria as well as the evacuation of cities.
The operation is slated to begin on April 6, according to the WorldTribune.com.
Although the operation seems to be an innocent attempt to improve defense capabilities, pundits are beginning to question whether the exercise may be aimed at laying the foundation for a strike on Iran's nuclear energy facilities.
Analysts claim this news echoes the latest developments and points to a war on Iran as it follows a recent report that a US nuclear submarine had been deployed to the Persian Gulf.
Another reason that has caused speculation that the Islamic Republic will come under attack is the sudden resignation of US Admiral William "Fox" Fallon.
Admiral Fallon played one of the most decisive roles in US foreign policy by overseeing military operations in the Middle East. He was well-known for his opposition to the Bush administration rattling sabers with Iran.
(He famously said that 'an attack on Iran will never occur on my watch'.)
Another development that has worried analysts is that Saudi Arabia reportedly started taking measures to prepare for nuclear fallout a day after US Vice President Dick Cheney met with Saudi officials during his Mideast tour.
As the details of Cheney's recent discussions with his Arab allies remain unclear, question have been raised regarding the timing of such drastic measures.
According to popular government-guided Saudi newspaper Okaz, Saudi Arabia will start the implementation of 'national plans to deal with any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards that may affect the Kingdom following expert warnings of possible attacks on Iran's Bushehr nuclear power reactors'.
This is while Iran maintains that as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, it is entitled to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
(And indeed, this is true.)
Tehran has warned on numerous occassions that any attack launched against it shall be met with a 'crushing response'.
(Just as any state would when threatened with unprovoked, illegal Aggression.)

The largest threat to the region doesn't come from Iran: it comes from Israel's success in having had the US "neutralize" countries which it believes to be an existential threat to it's existence.
However, there's just one little problem with this approach concerning Iran.
Russia's diplomats have stated unequivocally that any attack against Iran will be perceived as an attack on Russia.
Well, that, and the fact that none but a small Fringe in America supports the Extremists in DC.
