Israel launches 'Iran Command' for war
(Press TV) -- Israel has reportedly started to set up an 'Iran Command' within its air force as part of preparations for a possible war against Iran.
According to reports by unnamed Israeli military sources, the regime's air force has launched 'Iran Command' to coordinate operations to 'confront the growing threat from Tehran'.
(Which is really just the threat that Israel's ruling Extemists will start an illegal and unnecessary war.)
The command's operations are aimed at improving coordination among Israeli ballistic missiles and air and missile brigades which deploy the Arrow and Patriot missile systems.
The report comes amid ramped up Israeli rhetoric against Tehran over the country's nuclear program.
(Which the IAEA and intelligence community confirms is solely for the generation of electricity, a right protected under the NNPT.)
Earlier this week, Israeli deputy prime minister Shaoul Mofaz accused Iran of running a nuclear weapons program and threatened to launch a military strike on Iran with the help of US if Tehran continues with its nuclear program.
(However, these LIES are no different than the LIES these same Extremists told to their citizens in order to feign a justification for an illegal and disastrous war of aggression.)
This is while Iran insists that it is conducting its nuclear program under the regulations of the UN nuclear watchdog and insists that its program is aimed at generating electricity for a growing population.
(Which is confirmed by the UN ...)
Israel, believed to be the sole possessor of 'at least 150 nuclear warheads' in the Middle East, seeks to persuade US President George W. Bush to halt Iran's nuclear program by military rather than diplomatic means before the end of his term in office.
(However, the 'nuclear issue' is a canard, and this war was planned long before it was even brought on-line.)

Olmert makes it clear strike on Iran 'remains on table'
Jason Koutsoukis Jerusalem
June 9, 2008
PRIME Minister Ehud Olmert last night refused to discount the possibility of a military strike against Iran.
(Well, yeah. If nobody stops them, the 'Neo-Cons' are going to attack Iran.)
Comments on Friday by his Transport Minister, Shaul Mofaz, that Israel would attack Iran if it continued its nuclear program sparked international uproar at the weekend, pushing oil prices to a record $US140 ($A146) a barrel for fear of interruption to the supply of 4 million barrels a day to world markets from Iran.
(The market is saturated with oil, reserves are high, and the price has nothing to do with supply. Iran's program of nuclear power production has nothing to do with the plot against the country. It's the excuse, not the reason, for a war that was planned before the program even got off the ground.)
Just back from talks in Washington with President George Bush, Mr Olmert said a strike against Iran remained an option. His spokesman, Mark Regev, told The Age that Israel believed the world had to take tangible steps to halt the Iranian nuclear program.
(So Israel demands that 'the world', whose inaction and silence is the only reason Israel is able to perpetuate its war to eliminate and annex Palestine, creates a war for no viable reason - since all relative bodies confirm that Iran has done nothing wrong.)
"The sanctions decided upon now are important, but they are not nearly sufficient," he said. "It remains very important for other nations to increase the pressure on the regime in Tehran, and we've been talking about a number of ideas with the international players."
(But the illusion of this crisis has only been created in order to feign a justification for another long-planned, illegal war.)
Mr Regev said these included an embargo on Iran's refined petroleum exports, sanctions on Iranian businessmen travelling abroad, and beefing up financial sanctions against Iranian banks.
"All options, including the military option, must remain on the table," he said. "We are among all those who want to see a peaceful solution to the Iranian problem. But we should be serious about diplomacy only if serious diplomacy will itself have a chance to succeed."
(And it is designed to fail, so this is a sort of double-edged statement.)
Earlier, other Israeli officials had added to the international criticism of Mr Mofaz, condemning his remarks as being more about getting voters' attention before early elections expected within months. Mr Mofaz is one of handful of politicians jockeying for the leadership if a corruption scandal forces Mr Olmert to resign. Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai accused Mr Mofaz of "cynically exploiting" Israel's strategic interests, and turning them into a political tool to improve his standing in the ruling Kadima party.
"This is an inadmissible and very harmful statement," he said. "Mofaz should stay silent and leave those responsible for defence to deal with it."
Israeli media yesterday reported one high-ranking security official as saying Mr Mofaz was only "speaking for himself".
A deputy leader of Kadima, Mr Mofaz is responsible for the dialogue between Israel and the US. His comments were seen as a hint that a plan to attack Iran had been agreed between the Israel and the US.
"If Iran continues with its program for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it," Mr Mofaz told Israel's Yediot Aharonot newspaper.
(There is no such program. This should be enough to end the discussion in its tracks, but we live in an age of Madness.)

Israel attack on Iran 'unavoidable'-Olmert deputy
Fri Jun 6, 2008
By Dan Williams
JERUSALEM, June 6 (Reuters) - An Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites looks "unavoidable" given the apparent failure of sanctions to deny Tehran technology with bomb-making potential, one of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's deputies said on Friday.
(Meaning that, even though there is no legal justification for this Act of Aggression, these Extremists will pursue war anyway, just as their opposition has maintained all along. This war, which is about Regime Change and resource theft, was planned along with the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq, and has nothing to do with this program or the current president.)
"If Iran continues with its programme for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective," Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz told the mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
(There is no such program.)
"Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable," said the former army chief who has also been defence minister.
(This is not what the war is about. It was the excuse, not the reason, only that the LIES disseminated by these Extremists fell apart, since the evidence refutes them, and they've lost all credibility.)
It was the most explicit threat yet against Iran from a member of Olmert's government, which, like the Bush administration, has preferred to hint at force as a last resort should U.N. Security Council sanctions be deemed a dead end.
(Iran, using the 'logic' of 'pre-emptive war', Iran would be well within its rights in attacking the US or Israel. Only that Iran doesn't want war, Israel does, and they expect Americans to die fighting it for them.)
Iran, which denies seeking nuclear weapons, has defied Western pressure to abandon its uranium enrichment projects.
(Because the NNPT gives them the right to use this technology to generate electricity.)
The leadership in Tehran has also threatened to retaliate against Israel -- believed to have the Middle East's only atomic arsenal -- and U.S. targets in the Gulf for any attack on Iranian turf.
Mofaz also said in the interview that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, "would disappear before Israel does."
(Only that he never actually said this. The media which was complicit in LYING the public into an illegal war in Iraq is still at it ...)
Mofaz's remarks came as he and several other senior members of Olmert's Kadima Party prepare for a possible run for top office should a corruption scandal force the Israeli prime minister to step down.
Iranian-born Mofaz has been a main party rival of the Israeli prime minister, particularly following the 2006 elections when Olmert was forced to hand the defence portfolio to Labour, his main coalition partner, at Mofaz's expense.
Mofaz, who is also designated as a deputy prime minister, has remained privy to Israel's defence planning. He is a member of Olmert's security cabinet and leads regular strategic coordination talks with the U.S. State Department.
Israel sent warplanes to destroy Iraq's nuclear reactor in 1981.
A similar Israeli sortie over Syria last September razed what the U.S. administration said was a nascent nuclear reactor built with North Korean help. Syria denied having any such facility.
(And the evidence supports this.)
Independent analysts have questioned, however, whether Israel's armed forces can take on Iran alone, as its nuclear sites are numerous, distant and well-fortified. (Editing by Ori Lewis and Charles Dick)
(That's alright, since the US has already agreed to fight this war for Israel, even if Israel starts the war.)

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.
