Today the President of Israel, Shimon Peres, said that a military strike against Iran is growing increasingly likely by the day.
This comes just days before the report on Iran’s nuclear program is going to be released by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a United Nations body.
Peres has been quite clear that the push for an attack on Iran is gaining steam saying that an attack on Iran was becoming “more and more likely” in an interview on Israel’s Channel Two on Saturday.
Peres made this even clearer in a statement to Israel’s Hayom, in which he said, “The possibility of a military attack against Iran is now closer to being applied than the application of a diplomatic option”. http://theintelhub.com/2011/11/07/israeli-president-says-attack-on-iran-is-increasingly-likely/

SOME US arms control groups have cautioned against overreaction to a key UN report on Iran's nuclear research, saying there is still time to persuade Iran to change its behaviour. Documents provided to the International Atomic Energy Agency give new details of the role played by a former Soviet weapons scientist who allegedly tutored Iranians over several years on building high-precision detonators of the kind used to trigger a nuclear chain reaction, officials and experts said. The agency is due to release a report this week laying out its findings.
Iranian officials expressed indifference about the report. ''Let them publish and see what happens,'' said Iran's Foreign Minister and former top nuclear official, Ali Akbar Salehi, the semi-official Mehr News Agency reported at the weekend.
Dr Salehi said the controversy over Iran's nuclear program is ''100 per cent political'' and the UN's nuclear watchdog was ''under pressure from foreign powers''.
US intelligence officials maintain that Iran's leaders have not decided whether to build nuclear weapons but are intent on gathering all the components and skills so they can quickly assemble a bomb if they choose to.
Iran has consistently maintained that its nuclear activities are peaceful and intended only to generate electricity.
According to the intelligence provided to the IAEA, key assistance was provided by Vyacheslav Danilenko, a former Soviet nuclear scientist contracted in the mid-1990s by Iran's Physics Research Centre, a facility linked to the country's nuclear program.
The disclosures come against a backdrop of new threats of military strikes on Iran.
Israeli newspapers reported last week that there was high-level government support in Israel for a military attack on Iran's nuclear installations.
''One of the problems with such open threats of military action is that it furthers the drift towards a military conflict and makes it more difficult to dial down tensions,'' said Peter Crail, a non-proliferation analyst with the Arms Control Association, a Washington advocacy group.
''It also risks creating an assumption that we can always end Iran's nuclear program with a few air strikes if nothing else works. That's simply not the case.'' http://www.theage.com.au/world/iran-nuclear-report-triggers-appeal-for-calm-20111107-1n3s4.html#ixzz1d4E8uTiK

Israel and the West’s rhetoric has been – to put it lightly – heated when it comes to Iran and it has only intensified over recent days and weeks.
The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, issued a grim warning to Israel, the United States and the United Kingdom, which have all reportedly been weighing an unprovoked strike on Iran.
Lavrov said that taking military action against Iran would be a “very serious mistake fraught with unpredictable consequences”.
Indeed the consequences would be unpredictable to a degree, yet predictable in that the fallout would be far from positive for the region and the world... http://www.activistpost.com/2011/11/russian-foreign-minister-issues-grave.html

Tuon perusteella USA:n maajoukkojen (taisteluun lähetettävien) määrä olisi pudonnut 2003 Irakin sodastakin lähtien.
Pohdimpa sitäkin, oliko USA:n joukkojen lisääminen Afganistaniin toissa kesänä tarkoitettu pelkästään Talibaneja varten? Nythän joukot ovat edullisessa asemassa ja nopeasti hyökkäykseen lähetettävissä maata pitkin Irakista ja Afganistanista sensijaan että joukot pitäisi kuljettaa paikalle suoraan USA:sta tai laskea ensin maihin Irakiin jne.
Maahyökkäys ei vaadi läheskään sellaista valmisteluaikaa kuin 2003. Uskoisin että sotasuunnitelmat on olleet olemassa jo jonkinaikaa ja Iranin maaperä on kartoitettu vuosien aikana satelliiteista (SAR-tutkalla, IP, optroniikalla), tiedustelukoneista ja maasta käsin. Esimerkiksi laivaston SPY-1 tutkalla näkee Persianlahdeltakin aika pitkälle Iranin puolelle mitä siellä tapahtuu.
Tulee mieleen että miksi asiat päätettiin näin pitkälle? Olisiko syynä ollut että ensi yritettiin pakotteilla ja black-opseilla viivyttää ja haitata toimintaa kunnes suunnitelmat, aseet ja joukot + tiedustelu olivat valmiina sekä Irak rauhoittunut.
Jos Iran tosiaan on valmis tuottamaan Plutoniumia niin onko tuo senverran vaativampi operaatio että tuotanto pitää tehdä maanpäällä tai vähemmän salatusti ja tässä vaiheessa nuo laitokset on helpompi tuhota?
Tällaisia operaatioita ei kuitenkaan suunnitella ihan muutamassa viikossa vaan sitä on tehty jo vuosia.
Saas nähdä miten öljyn hinta pomppaa kun sota alkaa.
Nyt onkin mielenkiintoista nähdä miten pörssikurssit heilahtavat kun juhlat alkavat....niin kun ei olisi muutenkin jo tarpeeksi sekavuutta markkinoilla.

Iippojen puhemies oli kovin tohkeissaan tänä aamuna kun se rupesi manaamaan suurta pahaa. Kaikki oli taas niin kovin väärin, ja kun toimittaja kysyi, "Oletteko valmiita menemään yksin?" niin kiertely alkoi. Joten vahdoin kanavaa ja jatkoin lattian pyyhkimistä.
Iran threatens Israel with "destruction"
Tensions in the diplomatic game between Israel and Iran will increase after the IAEA's nuclear report.
Now threatens Iran's Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri with "destruction" if Israel goes on the attack.
- Our response should not be limited to the Middle East, said Masoud Jazayeri to the Iranian TV channel Al-Alam according to AFP.

Hmmm tuleeko isku myös euroopaan?

CBS dokumentti vuodelta 2008 Israelin ilmavoimista jossa haastatellaan silloista komentajaa.
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4336313n
En usko että moni poliitikoista ja sotilasjohtajista ajattelee erilailla kuin haastateltu Ilmavoimien komentaja joka sanoo että mikäli Isrealin ilmavoimat häviää yhdenkin sodan, israel lakkaa olemasta.
Israel ei koskaan salli Iranin saavan Ydinasetta varsinkin Iranin uhkausten jälkeen. Israel aloittaa sodan vaikka yksin ja tekee kaikkensa jotta Iranin ydinohjelma tuhotaan. Vaikka sitten taktisia ydinohjuksia.
Nämä kaksi äärinäkemystä vastakkain, varustettuna tuhovoimaisilla aseilla on tämänpäivän Kuuban ohjuskriiisi ja Pandoran lipas.
Lähitulevaisuus näyttää miten maailmanrauhan/sodan käy.
Euroopan valuuttakriisi kalpenee tämän konfliktin rinnalla joka voi nähdä jopa rajoitetun ydinaseen käyttämisen II kerran historiassa.
Ja jos näin käy, kukaan ei voi sanoa mihin päädytään.

MOSCOW – A Russian scientist accused of helping Iran develop technology necessary to build a nuclear weapon has denied assisting its nuclear program, a Russian newspaper reported Thursday.
A report released this week by the U.N. nuclear agency said a "foreign expert" had assisted Iran with developing an advanced detonator essential for triggering a nuclear chain reaction. The Washington Post identified him as Vyacheslav Danilenko, a scientist who had worked on the Soviet nuclear program.
The newspaper Kommersant reported that it had spoken to the 76-year-old Danilenko, and quoted him as saying: "I am not a nuclear scientist and I am not the founder of the Iranian nuclear program."
Danilenko, an expert in a process that uses explosions to create tiny diamonds for a range of industrial uses, had worked in Iran in the 1990s. The Post said he told investigators from the International Atomic Energy Agency that he thought his work was limited to assisting civilian engineering projects.
Kommersant said that starting in the 1950s and until his retirement he had worked at one of the Soviet Union's top nuclear weapons research centers, ...

Jotenkin tuntuu että ne ovat päättäneet iskeä faktoista välittämättä.

At least one massive explosion at a military weapons depot near the Iranian capital Tehran on Saturday killed several people and was felt at least 45 km miles away, local media reported.
The Revolutionary Guards - Iran's elite military force - said a munitions store at a base in Bidganeh, near the city of Karaj, had exploded, according to a statement carried by the semi-official Fars news agency. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/15-dead-after-explosion-rocks-revolutionary-guards-base-outside-iranian-capital-1.395158
