After conceding this week that Israel was not on the way to a unilateral attack on Iran, Defense Minister Ehud Barak played down speculation that Israel and the U.S. were waging a covert war against Iran.
Barak denied accusations of involvement in two explosions that took place in Iran last month, one of which killed at least a dozen members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. Iran has said it was an accident that occurred while explosive weapons were being moved.
He claimed that severe sanctions and the promise of “all options on the table” were still the primary strategies to curb Iran’s progress towards nuclear weapons, which even the latest IAEA report concluded there is no evidence for.
But most knowledgable observers recognize that the U.S. and Israel have been waging a concerted clandestine war of cyber-terrorism, commercial sabotage, targeted assassinations, and proxy wars against Iran.
This has been going on for years – most consistently since former President George W. Bush “asked Congress to approve $400m for a program of support for rebel ethnic groups, as well as intelligence gathering and sabotage of the nuclear program” – but may have been escalated recently in exchange for Israel keeping a preemptive strike option off the table for the time being.
Barak "denies" and ergo, must be true.
its all part of our "war OF terror".
What is one more lie in the long string of lies that compose the Israeli foreign policy?
Israel will murder anyone in any place that it wants. Israel answers to no one and it does not respect anything or anyone. The Israeli government and people get very upset when they are treated like they treat others. They are very good at the game of blame. They seldom accept that they created much of the problems. No one forced Israel to start the 1967 which ben gurion begged them not to start. It was a quick military wonder but it will be the downfall of the chosen. As big and powerful as the USA and Israel are they are not able to rule the world. The USA is broke and things are going from very bad to depression. The USA will not be able to afford the continue warfare for the benefit of a very few. It is time to understand Israel should be cut lose and dual citizens should be given help to move to one or the other. A man cannot be servant to two masters. All the special laws created to benefit a few should be quickly repealed and Israel treated as any other nation with no foreign aid to any country. A rogue nation should be isolated not encouraged.
Of course, Stuxnet was a spontaneous creation somewhere out there in the Inter Tubes – just a wild spoor that knew it's purpose for living was to attack the Iranian scientific network. How lucky for Israel…
Sabotage of Iran is good. More is better. I would like to see Israel facilitate enough nuclear accidents in Iran to turn that entire country into a giant Chernobyl. That would serve those Islamic Vermin right for daring to challenge the power of the world's rightful ruler (The USA).
While the rest of the world would like to see Iran facilitate just one nuclear accident in Israel. A big one!
First they brag about it, then they deny it. Of course our Media believes every word they say, because Iran is 'bad, caca, no-no'.
How's this news? Show me one time – only one – when Israel has told the truth about anything!
