Report: Israel nears attacking Iran
Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:47:25 GMT

Top US politicians have reportedly said that Israel is seriously considering taking unilateral military action against Iran.

As the dispute over Iran's nuclear program heats up, top US advisors and experts on Middle East affairs, released a report on Wednesday, saying "Israel's time frame for action (against Iran) is growing shorter."

The experts at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) said Israel feels an urgent need to take action against what it called "Iran's advancement in acquiring nuclear weapons."

In the article: "Preventing a Cascade of Instability," the bipartisan group reiterated that the Israeli officials were alarmed that "Tehran might soon acquire upgraded air defenses and disperse its nuclear program to additional locations."

Several authors of the report however have met with high-level Israeli officials to evaluate their perspective, and noted that Israel is not interested in becoming part of an "American nuclear umbrella".

"A declared US guarantee would clarify a situation of ambiguity that may already work to Israel's advantage," the report noted. Also, "many Israelis fear that a declared US guarantee could come at the price of circumscribing Israel's freedom of action in confronting existential dangers."

This is while former US ambassador to the United Nations Nancy Soderberg, noted that the timetable for an Israeli attack might be "significantly" moved up if Tel Aviv was under the impression that Russia was going to supply Iran with the S-300 surface-to-air missile system which would get in the way of any Israeli attack.

The 10-page document urges for more international sanctions and expanding financial pressure on Iran.

LOOOOOL!

The dog that barks does not bite :D

They have been threatening for years. It is psychological warfare but it does not work anymore, if it ever worked, no one is fooled :p Let them bark some more if it makes them feel better :cool:

I have to find a quote by Sun-Tzu ... but basically it says the same thing ... if you talk about attacking you are not going to attack because you have a weakness .... if you want to attack, you just do it and don't talk about it because you are in a position of strength.

Israel can't do a damn thing to Iran, and neither can the US. Imagine the US trying to invade France ... are they thinking Iran is still a defenseless third world country as it was 50 or 100 years ago ? It is a country of 70 million people, 3 times the size of France in area, with lots of military capabilities (thanks to help and technology transfer from China especially) that can sink the whole US navy, sitting ducks, in the lake called the Persian Gulf !! And a population that is very creative, well-educated, and committed to the defense of their country. And with lots of fanatic people who are brainwashed to die to defend their country... as well.

people in the U.S. think the Iranians are all terrorists rofl

from what I have heard from friends who have been there, there are few places they would rather visit! Iranians are extremely friendly and welcoming to outsiders and are a great deal more inteligent and educated than americans by a long shot.
haha

but don't you think this means something more grave?

if they do attack it will probably involve nukes no?

[unbornawakened]

Has anyone used nukes since Hiroshima and Nagasaki ? Is Iran that important to commit such a crime ? And do you think Iran has no nukes (I think they do, they bought some from fallen Soviet States) or could not make them very quickly (they have the technology) ? And you think Iran does not have chemical and bacteriological weapons ? Did they not launch a satellite into orbit just a few weeks ago (which means they have ICBM technology).

I've been watching a lot of reports from Iran and reading a lot of material both about the country and written by Iranian academics and I have to agree with you from what I have learned they are, on the whole, a really intelligent, kind and hospitable people. Ahmanijedad apparently lives in a modest two bedroomed apartment and owns two suits.

Brizinski will not let them.

He has other plans on his agenda.

I read a report which said he had his eye on China and Russia, and would manipulate situations between smaller countries to ensure that America wouldn't have to get its hands dirty.
