Israel has long been drawing up secret plans for air and ground attack on Iran if negotiations failed to force the Islamic Republic suspend its nuclear programme.
But recently, The Sunday Times, citing Israeli political and military sources, said that Israel’s plans for an attack to knock down Iran’s nuclear sites and another one on Syria are near completion.

Last year UK’s Times Online reported that the inner cabinet of Ariel Sharon, the then Israeli prime minister, gave “initial authorisation” for an attack on Iran at a private meeting in February 2005 on his ranch in the Negev desert, adding that the Israeli army has been using a mock-up of Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment plant in the desert to practise destroying it.

Plans to attack Iran, according to Times Online, are a combination of raids by Israel’s elite Shaldag (Kingfisher) commando unit and airstrikes by F-15 jets from 69 Squadron, using bunker-busting bombs to penetrate underground facilities.

The Israeli leadership reportedly discussed those plans with American officials who promised that Washington wouldn’t stand in Israel’s way if what the Bush administration calls “diplomatic” efforts aimed at persuading Iran suspend uranium enrichment failed.

But the Israeli army’s recent military confrontation with the Lebanese resistance movement; Hezbollah has led to a strategic rethink in Israel.

Israel has acknowledged that it has given too much attention to Palestinian fighters in Gaza and the occupied territories instead of Iran and Syria, who pose a far greater danger to its hegemony and existence.

“The challenge from Iran and Syria is now top of the Israeli defence agenda, higher than the Palestinian one,” said an Israeli defence source.

Before the conflict broke out in Lebanon, Major-General Eliezer Shkedi, the commander of the air force, was given charge of the “Iranian front” to command any future strikes on Iran and Syria.

Israeli defence officials believe that Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear programme means war is likely to become unavoidable.

“In the past we prepared for a possible military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities,” said one insider, “but Iran’s growing confidence after the war in Lebanon means we have to prepare for a full-scale war, in which Syria will be an important player.”

The Israeli army set up a new infantry brigade, named Kfir (lion cub), believed to be its largest.

“It is a partial solution for the challenge of the Syrian commando brigades, which are considered better than Hezbollah's,” a military source said.

According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, Iran and Syria are believed to possess ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel and Tel Aviv.

Israel has assigned emergency budget to build modern shelters.

“The ineptness of the Israeli Defence Forces against Hezbollah has raised the Iranians’ confidence,” said a leading defence analyst.

On the other hand, officials in Washington believe that military attack on Iran’s nuclear sites is more serious than battling the poorly equipped Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon.

Fixed targets are hopelessly vulnerable to precision bombing, and with stealth bombers even a robust air defence system doesn’t make much difference,” said Richard Perle, a leading neoconservative.

American State Department favours launching a new round of talks with the Syrian President Bashar Al Assad in an effort to persuade him end his country’s alliance with the Islamic republic. But hawks believe that Israel should have attacked Syria during the fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“If they had acted against Syria during this last kerfuffle, the war might have ended more quickly and better,” Perle said, adding that “Syrian military installations are sitting ducks and the Syrian air force could have been destroyed on the ground in a couple of days.”

The Syrian President triggered Isralei fears during the war in Lebanon, when he said “If we do not obtain the occupied Golan Heights by peaceful means, the resistance option is there.”

Israeli analysts believe that Syria would try again to take a strategic Israeli post on top of Mount Hermon on the Golan Heights, which it seized in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

The post overlooks the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Israel has set up three elite brigades that proved ferocity during Lebanon offensive under one headquarters, so they can work together on deep cross-border operations in Iran and Syria, according to The Sunday Times.
The U.S., backed by the Jewish State and the European Union, claims that Iran is using its nuclear programme as a guise for some hidden developments aimed at producing nuclear weapons, allegations that had been rejected by Tehran on several occasions.

Iran has repetitively stated that its nuclear programme is solely used for peaceful purposes but Israeli and American intelligence officials — who have met to share information in recent months, if not years- believe otherwise.

FBI agents told FOX News that some of their past investigations were compromised because suspects had been tipped off by Israeli wiretapping specialists. It was discovered that Israeli companies such as Comverse and Amdocs have the capability to tap American telephones. FBI agents also told FOX they believed the Israelis had advance knowledge of the 9-11 attacks. Still another U.S. official informed FOX that some of the detained Israelis actually had links to 9-11, but he refused to describe the nature of those links. The FBI official told FOX's Carl Cameron:

"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11 is classified. I cannot tell you about the evidence that has been gathered. It is classified information."

Then there was that small army of Israeli "art students" who were arrested for trying to sneak into secured U.S. Federal buildings and staking out 36 Department of Defense sites. Some of these suspicious "art students" even showed up at the homes of Federal employees. Ron Hatchett, a Department of Defense analyst, told Channel 11, KHOU news in Houston that he believed that the "art students" were gathering intelligence for future attacks. Here’s an excerpt from the October 1, 2001 KHOU investigative report by Anna Werner:

"Could federal buildings in Houston and other cities be under surveillance by foreign groups? That's what some experts are asking after federal law enforcement and security officials - nationally and in Houston - described for the 11 News Defenders a curious pattern of behavior by a group of people claiming to be Israeli art students."

"Hatchett says they could be doing what he would be doing if he were a terrorist, sizing up the situation: "We need to know what are the entrances to this particular building. We need to know what are the surveillance cameras that are operating. We need to know how many guards are at this operation, when do they take breaks?" Says Hatchett: "This is not a bunch of kids selling artwork."

"A former Defense Department analyst, Hatchett believes groups may be gathering intelligence for possible future attacks. "Some organization, thinking in terms of a potential retaliation against the U.S. government could be scouting out potential targets and looking for targets that would be vulnerable."

And a source tells the Defenders of another federal memo, stating that besides Houston and Dallas, the same thing has happened at sites in New York, Florida, and six other states, and even more worrisome, at 36 sensitive Department of Defense sites. "One defense site you can explain," says Hatchett, "well that was just a serendipitous, …….. Thirty-six? That's a pattern."

A Federal memo stated that these art students may have had ties to an "Islamic terror group". Remember the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946, and how the "Arab terrorists" were actually Irgun terrorists? Remember the Zionist terrorists caught in Mexico with Arab passports? remember the official motto of the Mossad - By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Do War. Are you getting the picture? Can you say "false flag operations."?

Before his excellent work was silenced, FOX's Cameron reported this amazing bit of information:

"Investigators within the DEA, INS, and FBI have all told FOX News that to pursue or even suggest Israeli spying is considered career suicide ."

Did you catch that? If an investigator dares to mention Israeli spying, he has committed career suicide! And if a journalist like FOX's Cameron dares to bring this scandal to light, he is told to shut his mouth. If they persist, they may even be called "anti-Semitic" - a label which has served as the kiss of death for many a journalistic and political career. This means that Zionist Mafia can do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, and however it wants - including orchestrating, financing, executing, and covering up the true story of events in the Middle East, the 9-11 massacre, and the ensuing "War on Terrorism" (war on Israel's enemies).

Now do you remember the Mossad's "warning" about the 200 "Al-Qaeda terrorists" said to have been preparing major attacks in the U.S.? At the time of this writing, we are one year into the largest investigation in American history, and not one of these 200 "terrorists" has yet to be uncovered. But 100 Israeli spies were uncovered, among them many military members, electronics experts, wiretapping and phone tapping specialists, and explosives experts with the skill to bring down tall buildings. Logic and common sense leads to the conclusion that the "200 Al Qaeda terrorists" were in reality, Zionist terrorists sent to frame the Arabs for terrorist attacks and drag America into a war. History repeats itself. But who will teach this history to the American people when the Zionists control the information industry?
