Nuclear Iran

...Iranian leaders say the return of their Islamic messiah -- known as the Mahdi, or Twelfth Imam -- is drawing near. In their view, using nuclear weapons against Israel or the West could hasten his appearance.

"He will come back and save them. So an attack and a conflagration is an incentive,"  Says Harold Rhode, a senior adviser to the Hudson Institute, and former foreign affairs specialist at the Pentagon. 

Iran expert Dr. Michael Ledeen, a freedom scholar with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said when Iranian leaders threaten to destroy America and Israel, we should take them at their word.

"Obviously, their nuclear program is closely related to their messianic vision," he said.

Iran Accuses Mossad of Drug Smuggling

So this is the latest   Iran's Interior Minister says that the Mossad is forcing drug dealers to lower their prices (by threatening them), apparently in order to get the entire country addicted. And, of course, the drug dealers are listening to their Mossad masters.

Then, when every Iranian is busy being deeply fascinated with a single blade of grass, Israeli warplanes can swoop in and take over the country!

This is a bit much even for Iran!  But I guess the old adage is true.  Just because you're a paranoid Iranian Islamic Fundamentalist, doesn't mean that the Mossad of Israel isn't out to get you!

My Arabic isn't perfect, but here's my translation of the PA News article: 

Iran's Interior Minister accused "Mossad" of his country's drug smuggling

Iran's interior minister Saturday accused the Israeli intelligence service Mossad, of forcing drug smugglers to sell at a discounted price in the Islamic Republic.

Quoted by state television Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said "smuggling heroin and hashish in our country is included on the agenda of the spy agency in the Zionist regime." He added that the information obtained by Iran indicates that the Mossad was "drug smugglers sell at one fifth the price" in Iran, adding that those who refused faced threats.

Iran has a long term problem of the smuggling of drugs from its eastern neighbor Afghanistan, which is a source of ninety percent of global production of opium.

Drug trafficking, is a crime punishable by death in Iran.  67 people in Iran have been executed this year eighty percent of them after being convicted of smuggling drugs.

Iran accuses CIA and Mossad of killing nuclear scientists

It was again reported today that Iranian nuclear scientists are being killed.

An Iranian nuclear scientist has been killed and another wounded in two separate but similar attacks in the capital, Tehran.  The scientists were targeted by men on motorcycles who attached bombs to the windows of their cars as they drove to work, officials said.  The scientist killed was Majid Shahriari, a member of the nuclear engineering faculty at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran.
 
"Mossad and the CIA are the enemies of Iranians and always seek to hurt this nation. They particularly want to stop our scientific progress," said Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, Iran's Interior Minister according to Iranian state television.

Iranian media reported in January, that nuclear scientist Masoud Ali Mohammadi, was assassinated in the same manner by counter-revolutionaries, Zionists and agents of the "global arrogance"

Israel beats Iran

At the World Masters Weightlifting Championship in Poland, Israeli competitor, Sergio Britva, took first place in his class. Britva lifted an astonishing 300kg of weight, beating the second-placed competitor, the Iranian Hossein Khodadadi, by 4 kilos.

Israel's Sergio Britva

The two athletes mounted the podium to receive their medals, together with the third-placed competitor from Germany. Britva and the German shook hands. But when Britva offered his to Khodadadi, the Iranian refused it.

Khodadadi was rebuked by the Iranian authorities just for standing alongside an Israeli. According to Radio Zamaneh, “the Head of Iran’s National Athletic Organization had earlier written a letter to the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, to receive instructions on how to handle situations where Iranian athletes have to confront Israeli athletes.”

This is the first time since the 1979 Revolution in Iran that an Iranian athlete has appeared beside an Israeli athlete in an official championship.

Head of Iran's weightlifting committee at the Masters Weightlifting Championships, MirRasouli Raisi, said that everything had been done in coordination with the Iranian embassy in Poland.

Khodadadi claimed that they were not able to remove their flag from the hall and all he could do was to appear in unofficial attire so that their presence would not be deemed official.

He added that if they had not attended the ceremony, they would have had to return all the medals they had received on the previous days and disqualified Iran from participating in further competitions.

At 1′26″ in the video above, you can see Britva mount the podium draped in an Israeli flag. He shakes hands with the German to his left. He turns to his right, but the Iranian declines. That doesn’t seem to bother Britva, who is deservedly delighted with his victory. Then, at 2′30″, with Khodadadi and Britva still together on the podium, a stirring rendition of Israel’s national anthem, Hatikvah, strikes up. Britva stands erect and solemn, choking back tears of pride and joy. His image then dissolves into another of the Israeli flag atop the Iranian and the German.

It was both symbolic and ironic to see Israels' flag flying higher than the flags of both Germany and Iran in Ciechanow, Poland. Germany, who in the Holocaust sought to eliminate the Jews off the face of the earth and managed to destroy the Jewish Community of Ciechanow, Poland, and Iran who today is working toward wiping Israel off the map.

Nasrallah's present to Ahmadinejad - an Israeli rifle seized in 2006

http://twitter.com/idfspokespersonDuring his visit to Lebanon, Nasrallah presented Ahmadinejad with this rifle. which is reported to be an Israeli assault rifle seized in 2006.

The rifle came with a row of  bullets in a large dark red case, which was affixed with a Hizbullah emblem.

What rifle is this? 

"This is almost certainly an FN Fal 7.62 rifle, which has not been used by the IDF since 1974," an IDF spokeswoman said. "We can therefore conclude that it was not taken from the Second Lebanon War," the spokeswoman added.

The IDF began using the FN FAL in 1955.  The FAL version ordered by the IDF came in two basic variants, both regular and heavy-barrel (automatic rifle), and were chambered for 7.62 mm NATO ammunition. In common with heavy-barrel FALs used by several other nations, the Israeli 'heavy barrel' FAL was called the Makle'a Kal, or Makleon.

The IDF FALs were originally produced as selective-fire rifles, though later light-barrel rifle versions were altered to semi-automatic fire only. The Israeli versions are distinguished by a distinctive handguard with a forward perforated sheet metal section, and a rear wood section unlike most other FALs in shape, and their higher 'Commonwealth'-type sights. The Israeli FAL first saw action in relatively small quantities during the Suez Crisis of 1956, and by the Six-Day War in June 1967, it was the standard Israeli rifle. During the Yom Kippur War of October 1973 it was still in front-line service as the standard Israeli rifle.

Fire at Iran's Shahab-3 Missile Site

A massive fire is raging in the storage facility of Iran's Shahab-3 ballistic missiles.  According to online sources, the site was top secret and housed most of the Shehab-3 missile launchers that Iran had stocked for striking US forces in Iraq and Israel in the event of war - some even set to deliver triple warheads.

More than 18 Revolutionary guards were killed and 14 others wounded in an explosion Tuesday at a base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRG) Corps in the Western Iranian province of Lurestan, reported Iran's official news agency IRNA Wednesday.

A Deputy Commander of the Corps said that blast resulted from a fire that spread to a munitions depot at the corps's base in Khoramabad, 300 miles southwest of the capital, Tehran, and close to Iran's Kurdistan region.

The base houses underground launching and storage facilities for Iran's medium-range Shahab-3 ballistic missiles, said research group Global Security  (From RTTNews).

The Shahab-3, has a range of about 1800-2500 km, and the reported accuracy of this missile is anywhere between 2000 meters to 30 meters (depending on the version). That is enough to precisely hit and destroy even a well protected target. According to some reports, these missiles even have steering nozzles on their re-entry vehicle which make them capable of evasive maneuvers disallowing interception.

Stuxnet Computer Virus, Who done it?

The mysterious Stuxnet worm took center stage at the Virus Bulletin 2010 conference with a prominent security researcher dropping a raw hint that Israel may be behind the industrial-strength malware attack.

Ever since the discovery of the worm, which Microsoft says dates back to January 2009, there has been incessant speculation that Stuxnet is a nation-state attack against Iranian nuclear plants. There have even been online murmurings of biblical references and public confirmation that the Iran’s Buescher nuclear reactor was the main target.

Now comes this disclosure suggesting a direct link to Israel.

Symantec security researcher Liam O Murchu (photo above) says he found the “05091979″ date in the Stuxnet code, a possible link to the May 9, 1979 execution of Jewish Iranian businessman and philantropist Habib Elghanian.


And in the New York Times’ David Sanger and John Markoff report there is biblical text possibly linking Stuxnet to Israel:

Deep inside the computer worm that some specialists suspect is aimed at slowing Iran’s race for a nuclear weapon lies what could be a fleeting reference to the Book of Esther, the Old Testament tale in which the Jews pre-empt a Persian plot to destroy them.

That use of the word “Myrtus” — which can be read as an allusion to Esther — to name a file inside the code is one of several murky clues that have emerged as computer experts try to trace the origin and purpose of the rogue Stuxnet program

That's it??? A secret code!! Intentionally left in the software...

Cyber Security experts are cautioning against reading too much into anything deliberately left in the code by the Stuxnet authors because, at this level, there could be all kinds of decoys and misdirection.

This Code was blamed on Israel but the true origin surprised everyone.

"Nobody is willing to accept responsibility for this particular piece of malicious software which is a curious, complex and powerful weapon," said one Whitehall expert on the Stuxnet code.

The Iranian authorities acknowledged the worm had struck Bushehr and a statement conceded that the plant would come into operation later than planned.

So far the evidence linking Israel to Stuxnet is about as credible as this story of Obama's secret relationship with Iran.

Should Israel Bomb Iran's Nuclear Reactor in Bushehr?

In an editorial, the Washington Times calls on Israel to bomb Iran's Bushehr reactor on Friday.

Bushehr Power Plant

"...It's doubtful America will take action. The State Department's response to the latest IAEA report on Iranian enrichment violations merely said, "We are hopeful that Iran will express a willingness to come to the table. We stand ready to have that dialogue." Not exactly the kind of rhetoric that instills fear of consequences.

Israel is the only country likely to mount a military strike, and the Bushehr site is an exposed facility that could be taken out with conventional weapons. It's located on Iran's west coast, less than a third of a mile from the shore; air forces would not have to spend much time overflying Iran to attack it. The plant also could be hit using sea-launched cruise missiles from Israeli submarines. With an effective range of at least 900 miles, the subs wouldn't have to transit the Strait of Hormuz to mount the attack.

The strike needn't happen before Friday. Mr. Bolton set that deadline because he was concerned that destroying an operational plant would create a radiation hazard, but a strike that left the site radioactive would hinder Iranian attempts to get it back up and running. Civilian casualties would be minimal because the site is located nine miles downwind of the city of Bushehr, and potential fallout would drift over either the Gulf close to Iran or the immediate area, which is arid and sparsely populated.

The most dangerous fallout could be political. Russia, Iran's nuclear sponsor, is likely to voice strong objections; the usual anti-Israel suspects will howl; and the United States may not be as sturdy a champion for Israel as it was in the past. But the time has come to demonstrate resolve in face of an imminent threat from Iran. The Free World depends on Israeli power..."

What do you think?  Should Israel drop the bomb on Iran?

The Long Arm of IDF Naval Commandos

IDF Naval Commandos intercepted the Iranian cargo ship, the "Francop", which was laden with roughly 500 tons of weapons hidden amongst civilian cargo.

The 36 weapons containers were sent from Iran and were en-route to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon. This shipment contained enough weaponry to keep the Hezbollah terrorists supplied for a full month of fighting.

From the IDF Spokesman:

"After being boarded, the ship was then "requested" to make way to the Israeli Naval Port of Ashdod for a complete inspection and inventory of the illegal weapons cargo.

The naval commando force boarded the vessel and conducted an initial search. The search was conducted in accordance with the usual search protocols as dictated by International Law.

Following the initial search and after it became clear that the vessel was carrying weapons, the vessel was directed by the Israel Navy to dock at the Israeli Ashdod Naval base for additional searches and a detailed inspection of the hull’s cargo. It should be emphasized that the captain of the ship agreed to the search. The Israel Navy conducted all activity without any force.

The weapons found onboard the ship originate from Iran, and were intended for the Hezbollah terror organization, for use against the State of Israel and its citizens. The weapons uncovered at sea last night constitute a harsh violation of UN Security Council Resolutions 1747 and 1701 that strictly forbid Iran from exporting or trading any form of weapons."


"The overnight operation was authorized by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense of the State of Israel. Commander of the Israel Navy, Maj. Gen. Eliezer Marom, commanded the operation from a forward command cell. The IDF Chief of the General Staff authorized the operation, after the confirmation of intelligence information gathered by the IDF."

And of course the Iranians are as glib as ever:

In Tehran, Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem dismissed Israeli allegations the ship carried arms.

"Unfortunately, some pirates sometimes take action in the name of inspection and prevent the sailing of commercial ships," he was quoted as saying by the state IRNA news agency during a visit Wednesday. "This ship was carrying goods from Syria heading to Iran and was not carrying weapons making materials."
