“Against the background of the growing political tensions in the region, on September 19 Israel conducted a brief but full-scale military exercise on the Golan Heights that was designed to test the level of combat readiness of the Israeli Army in the event of a sudden attack. The observers believe that the most probable reason for such an attack from the states neighboring the Golans would be a potential Israeli strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The exercise in the Golans only took a day, but was quite intensive. Military units from all regions of the country were engaged in it. In its turn, that exercise was just a part of a series of such full-scale exercises of different types; combat arms and services, as well as testing the readiness of the civilian population for a potential beginning of a military conflict. In late August the Israeli Home Front Command together with the rescue services conducted an exercise simulating the evacuation of civilians from buildings as well as tested the civilian population warning systems that warned people of a missile strike via mobile telephone text messages. Bomb shelters were also inspected.”

“Iran has misled the British Intelligence Agency MI-6 on its nuclear program according to a statement made in an interview with the Arabic daily “Al-Hayat” by the vice-president of Iran, Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani who is also the head of the Iranian delegation to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna.

According to him, afterwards, the same misinformation came into the hands of the agency itself.

“We monitored the activities of the British Foreign Intelligence Service and sometimes we gave them false information in order to protect our nuclear facilities and our interests,” said the politician.

“Sometimes we showed weakness, where we are strong. Sometimes we showed strength where we are weak,” he added.”

i wonder if he was smiling when making that announcement. i’ll bet few at mi6 smiled on hearing that piece of news, though.

“Iran’s Ambassador to Beirut Ghazanfar Roknabadi says although Israel is the main reason behind all international problems, Washington continues to support the Zionist regime.

“The security of the Zionist regime [of Israel] is the most important issue for Washington officials and they consider it sacred,” Roknabadi added in an interview with Lebanon’s Al-Manar television.”

it’s fairly easy to understand this. i wonder why it is so difficult for most western pundits to come out and say it?

On January 17, 2012 – Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel, head of the Israel Occupation Force (IOF) planning department, told reporters in Jerusalem that once Iran poseses nuclear arsenal, it will make hard for Israel to defeat Hamas and Hizbullah.

”If we are forced to do things in Gaza or in Lebanon – under the Iranian nuclear umbrella it might be different,” said Amir Eshel.

This guy is an idiot. We all did that for the Iraq war and what did it accomplish?

Nothing.

The government does not listen to anyone. They do what they want. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.

“The Chief of IDF General Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz ordered troops from the Northern and Central commands, reinforced by reservists, to simulate an emergency. The IDF insists the drill is a routine scheduled event, but for unknown reasons withheld from making public how many troops and what military vehicles are being involved in the war games.”
