Iran ready to strike at Israel’s nuclear heart
by Uzi Mahnaimi
Iran has moved ballistic missiles into launch positions, with Israel’s Dimona nuclear plant among the possible targets, defence sources said last week.
The movement of Shahab-3B missiles, which have an estimated range of more than 1,250 miles, followed a large-scale exercise earlier this month in which the Israeli air force flew en masse over the Mediterranean in an apparent rehearsal for a threatened attack on Iran’s nuclear installations. Israel believes Iran’s nuclear programme is aimed at acquiring nuclear weapons.
The sources said Iran was preparing to retaliate for any onslaught by firing missiles at Dimona, where Israel’s own nuclear weapons are believed to be made.
Major-General Mohammad Jafari, the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, told a Tehran daily: “This country [Israel] is completely within the range of the Islamic Republic’s missiles. Our missile power and capability are such that the Zionist regime – despite all its abilities – cannot confront it.”
An editorial in a government newspaper, Jomhouri Eslami, said: “Our response will hit right at their temple.”
The sabre-rattling coincided with a visit to Israel yesterday by the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullen, for talks with his Israeli opposite number, Lieutenant-General Gabi Ashkenazi. This intensified speculation that Israel was seeking US approval for a possible attack on Iran.
“Although the visit had been planned well in advance, we got the feeling he was coming to make sure we’ll obey the strict timetable agreed with the US,” said an Israeli defence source. He refused to elaborate.
President George Bush has approved the linking of Israel to a US infrared satellite detection system that could spot Shahab missile launches within seconds.
This should enable the Israeli air force to destroy such missiles in the booster stage. The system will also give the Israelis about 15 minutes to seek shelter before any warhead hits.

If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
This can be over quick as long as we don’t let the UN get involved in calling for a cease fire.
Every military target must be destroyed. If they hide with the civilian population then so be it. This is not the time to show weakness!
Any nation who attacks Isreal IS attacking US!

very true. any attack on Israel should be considered an attack on US soil. The Israelis are our best friend in the world and i could speak in religious terms about my feelings about them too but i will hold that for now. we just have to get it right and use overwhelming force to make sure they cant pull off an effective counter-attack.
June 29th, 2008 at 1:31 pmhehe Bush bots
June 29th, 2008 at 1:32 pmBush bots, ok birddog, if that’s what you think, ok by me.
Does that make you a libturd or just not willing to counter Iranian aggression?
June 29th, 2008 at 1:48 pmBOMB IRAN NOW. It is not worth the lose to let them fire the first shot.
Birddog how are we bush bots for wanting to bomb Iran when Bush doesn’t have the balls to pull it off. Bush is acting like a chicken. He should of attacked Saudi Arabia after 9-11. Iraq is a start. But we need to destroy Iran and the Saudis.
June 29th, 2008 at 8:51 pmthere’d be a certain amount of irony if they caused another chernobyl that killed all the palestinians…
June 30th, 2008 at 2:40 amIran is full of bluster about its capabilities. They need to find out the hard way what a real military can do to a schmuck regime such as Tehran has.
@Birddog?
WTF is a Bush Bot. Or are you just being a dickhead?

Typical of the ‘tolerant’ Left. If anyone decides not to be a victim they become the embodiment of evil.
June 30th, 2008 at 7:16 amThey launch those missiles and the nukes will fall from the sky like rain all over Iran’s military installations.
