Iran will retaliate if hit -- Nov. 10, 2004
Iran threatened on
Monday to strike back at Israel or any other country that
attacked its nuclear facilities
Iranian officials have also warned they can strike back at
Israel with its medium-range Shahab-3 missile, which can
also hit U.S. military bases in the Gulf.
Zolqadr denied Iran was developing nuclear weapons, saying the
Islamic state preferred to rely on a volunteer militia force,
which he said numbered 10 million,
to defend the country.

Iran believed to already have nuclear ability -- June 1, 2005
All this, if true, alters completely the Middle
East and world strategic equation. For now the United
States troops in Iraq and Southern Europe are under the threat of
Iranian nuclear attack. All of the Middle East and
most importantly Israel is
under the Iranian nuclear threat. There is also the
likelihood that, should this report be fully verified, a number
of other nations will rush to go nuclear. Former American
Secretary-of – State Henry Kissinger has envisaged the
acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran as leading to an
exponential increase in the threat of nuclear disaster.
The fact that Iran has most likely deceived the world again is no
surprise

Russia,
Iran to sign nuclear deal this summer -- May 27, 2004
The document must be signed before the end of the summer
for Bushehr's first 1,000-megawatt reactor to go on-stream in
2005. The plant was originally supposed to start up in 2003.
Washington has branded Iran part of an "axis of evil"
of states seeking illegal arms and also fears Iran
would use Bushehr as a cover for the transfer of other sensitive
nuclear technology.
Iran, which sits on the world's second largest gas reserves after
Russia, also denies the U.S. allegations. It says it needs
nuclear energy to meet booming demand for electricity and keep
oil and gas reserves for export.
Once the protocol is signed, Russia
will ship fuel to Iran to start up the reactor.
Spent fuel will be sent back to a giant storage facility in
Siberia after roughly a decade of use.
An official from a nuclear fuel plant in Siberia was quoted as
saying that up to 168 nuclear fuel units would be immediately
dispatched to Bushehr after the signing to start up the reactor.

Iran considers witholding oil...
April 2-2002
[ Iran is not an Arab
nation , but it is Moslem. Iran is "Persia" in the
Magog war ]
If they decide to use oil as a weapon certainly
Iran will consider it. It will be effective if all Muslim
countries would take such a decision," he said on the
sidelines of an Organisation of the Islamic Conference meeting on
terrorism.
Arab oil producers, who account for half of
world supplies, have not used the oil card since the 1973
crisis, despite repeated calls by Iraq and others to
do so.

may cut off oil supply at Straits of Hormuz ( Gulf of Oman )
March 4, 2005
If they do, we will have

About 40 percent of the world's crude oil shipments
passes through the two-mile wide channel of the strategic Straits
of Hormuz. Iranian forces are deployed at the head
of the channel. Oman and the United Arab Emirates are located on
the other side.
Teheran could easily block the Straits of Hormuz and use its missiles
to strike tankers and GCC oil facilities, according
to the new edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com.
Within weeks, the rest of the world would be starving for oil and
the global economy could be in danger.

Iraqi oil as a weapon .... April 2-2002
(Russia to benefit)
Iraq pumps out 200,000 barrels of oil a day and
is the fifth-largest producer of oil for the United States
despite sanctions that allow Iraq to sell only enough oil to pay
for humanitarian and medical relief for its citizens.
If ... [Ed: 2005 :" If
Iraq" ] were to succeed in such a push, the
impact could devastate the U.S. economy. Oil prices would
skyrocket, gas lines would return and President Bush could
imagine a future like that of Jimmy Carter, whose presidency sank
in the midst of a 1979 oil crisis.
Markets, however, do fear a repeat of the
economically devastating 1970's gas lines when OPEC imposed an
oil embargo on the United States because of U.S. support for
Israel during the Middle East conflicts in 1973.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,49297,00.html

dependent upon Russian oil exports, and then when the Magog war

Iraq -- the best air defense systems in the world.
The Iraqi air defense system is one of the toughest, most complex
systems that we see in the world," Brig. Gen. John Rosa,
deputy operations director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said.
"It's very capable. They're constantly working to improve
it, and they have been."

Iraq laying underground fiber optic cables http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20020917-122032-3592r
Of particular concern is the newly laid, buried fiber optics
cable system that is linking together far-flung nodes of the air
defense system, allowing the Iraqis to improve their targeting
against coalition aircraft by tracking them across the sky and
passing off coordinates and radar signatures.
"When you start to lay in communications underground, you
change the nature of your tactical and operational level
communication," Martin said
U.S. European Command enforces the northern

Central Command enforces the southern
no-fly zone.
While a war with Iraq would be run by Central Command,
European Command would coordinate many combat and support
aircraft and services; in Afghanistan, it provided nearly all the
humanitarian relief and continues to provide most of the supplies
to Central Command's troops. In the Persian Gulf War, U.S. Air

3. SYRIA
Israel Heads For War With Syria ---March 11, 2005
Israel's military has been preparing for the increasing
prospect of a war with Syria
in a confrontation expected to include Iran and Hizbullah.
Northern Command said a weakened Syria, under
pressure from the United States to withdraw from Lebanon, was
likely to approve an Iranian-Hizbullah campaign against
Israel.
"We might have to fight those countries, which could
drive them back a dozen years," Maj. Gen. Benny Gantz, chief
of Northern Command, said. "We can drive Lebanon and Syria
50 years back. It's an option."
Gantz told the LIC-2005 conference on Wednesday that Hizbullah
-- backed by Iran and Syria -- has become a strategic threat to
Israel. He cited the 15,000 missiles and rockets deployed by
Hizbullah along the Lebanese border with Israel and the Shi'ite
organization's increasing support of Palestinian insurgency cells
in the West Bank

The sources said the Iskander-E has been deemed a

first-strike capability to destroy or neutralize military
airports and critical
facilities in northern and central Israel .

Russia to supply Syria with long range missiles -- Jan. 13, 2005
Russia has plans to sell Syria missiles that
would place nearly the entire Jewish State within striking range.
The Iskander-E missiles offered to Syria
have a 175-mile target-radius,
which would place
most of Israel’s major cities,
as well as the nuclear reactor
in Dimona, at "the mercy" of the
anti-Israel Syrian regime Israel is not subject to Syrian-Russian
"mercy"; Israel's chesed comes from God Almighty !
Israel’s Channel Two TV also said Russia
planned to sell Syria an unspecified number of SA-18
shoulder-fired missiles, which could
threaten Israeli aircraft over Syria and southern Lebanon and be
passed to any of the Syrian-backed terror groups

Syria expanding militarily-
Sept 19-2002 (CBN)
If it wanted to, Syria could offer the council
some interesting intelligence on international security, since Damascus
hosts many of the world's worst terrorist groups. Ten are
Palestinian groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad,
who are arming suicide bombers in Israel. Others are Lebanese
groups like Hezbollah and Amal, who have been attacking Israel's
northern border and have kidnapped or killed
scores of Americans.
Other images show bunkers and launchers for two
brigades of Scud missiles. This force is designed for a
massive first-strike salvo. If all the Scuds in Syria were
launched, there would be enough to target each major city in
Israel with up to a dozen missiles each.

4. NORTH KOREAN AND CHINESE SOLIDARITY WITH SYRIA
Syria's vice president of the republic, Mohamd Masharqa, recently
returned to Damascus from the Democratic republic of Korea (North
Korea). He stressed on Syria's firm and principled stance toward
the process of peace in the Arab region which is based on the UN
resolutions and the principle of peace for land. North
Korean leaders affirmed that "any aggression against Syria
is an aggression against their country"
The Syrian vice president also visited the people republic of
China, where he held talks with Chinese officials in Peking city.
During these talks, Masharqa lauded China's stance toward the
Arab people's just causes, including the liberation of the
occupied Arab territories and the restoration of the Palestinian
usurped rights.
The Chinese officials reiterated China solidarity with the Syrian
people struggle for the liberation of the Golan and for finding a
just and comprehensive solution in the region. (IMRA)

They said the United
States would help finance the effort.
The training would focus on the PLO's Badr force, which numbers
around 1,000 in Jordan. The force was based in Jordan in the
1970s and 1980s and many of its members moved to the West Bank
and Gaza Strip when the PA was established in 1994.

US Soldiers stationed
in Jordan--March 28, 2003
Then there is the military base at Jafr, 50 miles
away in the desert, where locals say they have seen hundreds of
US soldiers arrive in the last few months, plus trucks carrying
tanks and armoured vehicles.
It is an open secret that small teams of US, and possibly
British, special forces are operating in western Iraq out of
Jordan.
Out at the Jafr military base, Blackhawk helicopters could be
seen flying in
The Jordanian government has admitted there are 6,000
US troops here, but says they are only here to protect
Jordan from Iraqi missile attack and train Jordanian troops.
But reporters have seen US army Jeeps speeding towards the Iraqi
border. If Ms abu Tayi's claim about the tanks is true, it would
raise new questions about how heavily involved this front is
likely to get.
The possibility that American soldiers are in the base at Jafr is
certainly infuriating the people of Maan, which is a problem for
the Jordanian authorities. While the Jordanian capital, Amman, is
a sleepy, peaceful place, Maan has been the most restive city in
the country for decades. In 1984 the late King Hussein had to
come here personally to calm protests. Last week, when protests
against the war broke out all over Jordan, Maan's were by far the
most violent.

Jordan to be base for US military --July 11-2002
That may be just the first step
towards a deeper involvement for Jordan, which is not only one

strategically located between Iraq and Israel. Comparisons are
being made with Pakistan, which allowed US special forces to
operate from its territory but denied their existence.
. It has agreed to allow a US-manned
radar station and American search and rescue teams to
operate out of the country to pick up US pilots.”
The US is an important aid donor to Jordan, and Washington’s
annual military and economic assistance is expected to increase
by $100 million (£64 million) to $325 million this year.
Diplomats said Washington recently approved the sale to Jordan of
a state-of-the-art radar system capable of monitoring all Iraqi
military moves. [Ed. note: and monitor all of Israel too]

Although leaked Pentagon documents appear to show that Turkey,

attack that could involve up to 250,000 American troops and
forces from Britain and other key US allies.

US Special Forces in Jordan--July
4-2002
Washington has developed military cooperation with Amman for
years as part of its regional strategy, and there have been
several indications in recent months that Jordan
might become a base for U.S. military operations against
Iraq.
Russian military intelligence sources, as well as sources in
Syria, say U.S. Special Forces are already in the country.
The United States has slowly built up military cooperation with
Jordan over the last several years with an eye toward a second
Iraqi campaign. Starting in the late 1990s, the United States
gave the Jordanian air force 16 F-16s as part of a $215 million
arms transfer package that Washington promised Amman in 1996,
after the government signed its peace treaty with Israel.
The United States military also conducts exercises
regularly with the Jordanian armed forces. In March, a detachment
from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, held a 10-day
exercise called Infinite Anvil in Jordan. Involving a reported
100 Marines and sailors,
The U.S. forces could be based at the Muafaq Salti Air
Base in Azraq, 50 miles east of Amman on the road to Baghdad, or
the King Faisal air base, with supplies and support coming from
ships in Aqaba.

EGYPT
leading the war against Israel
Egypt is leading this campaign...
The various terrorist organizations are from the same
roots. As Arafat himself said,
Fatah and the Islamic Jihad are two wings of the same
bird." Asked if Hizbullah is also included in this
equation, he said with derision, "Can there possibly be any
doubt about this?"
Dr. Stav continued his point regarding Egypt: "This
is a war being waged against us by Egypt and Syria, via
their
emissary, the PLO. The Karin-A weapons ship was headed for
Egypt, where the 50 tons of arms would have been unloaded and
trucked to Gaza by the Egyptian Army. We are at war, and the only
thing that can be done is to
totally smash the PA, in order to show the Arab world that we
have understood the message and that we are ready for the next
war, and to uproot their confidence that they will defeat
us. This is a zero-sum game: Every concession or show
of defeatism by Israel is an Arab victory, and every show of
Israeli deterrence is a victory for us - showing the Arab world
that it's not worth its while to war with us. How ironic it
is that the world's superpower is standing by us, yet we are not
utilizing this fact sufficiently."
[Regarding the Egyptian threat, Dr. Stav told Arutz-7
three months ago that Prime Minister Sharon and Foreign Minister
Peres were to blame for not trying to stop Egypt's preparations
for war with Israel. "Egypt is one of the poorest
nations in the world," he said, "yet it spends 20% of
its budget on re-arming. It has one of the largest
armies in the world, with 450,000 soldiers and
another 400,000 in auxiliary frameworks, and is
outfitted with some of the most modern weaponry.
It has no viable enemies anywhere else, and therefore the
conclusion is that this army is being built up to fight a war
against Israel. They announce this openly:
[Egyptian Defense Minister] Tantawi said recently that the army
is preparing for the fight with the 'Zionist enemy' . Egypt
stands at the center of the campaign to de-legitimize Israel
diplomatically, as we saw [at the anti-racism conference] in
Durban. What happened in Durban was planned two weeks beforehand
in Cairo. In addition, Egypt stands behind the
campaign of Arab terrorism in Israel today [which] is designed to
damage Israel as much as possible in order to make the coming war
against Israel that much easier. What Egypt is
worried about is that Israel may seriously strike out at the
Palestinian Authority, which would ruin the long-range Egyptian
plan."]--Arutz 7, March 13-2002
Middle East Newsline reports
that Egypt has completed a major ground military exercise
near the Suez Canal. The exercise was conducted by
the Egyptian Third Army and consisted of live fire by infantry
and land platforms. The last stage of the exercise began on
Wednesday. The official Egyptian news agency, MENA, said
the exercise was meant to train combat skills of the
infantry. The Third Army exercise included tanks, armored
personnel carriers, artillery and anti-tank units. The army
was also provided air support in an exercise meant to simulate a
ground offensive

Egypt takes
over PA authority -- Oct. 10, 2005
PA sources said that over the last few months,
Egypt has dominated several key areas of Palestinian government,
particularly in the Gaza Strip. They said Egypt approves PA
decisions regarding the deployment and training of Palestinian
security forces, security operations and policy, development
projects and senior appointments.

Egypt to control waters up to Ashkelon -- Aug. 27, 2005
A second unpublished clause will place within
range of Egyptian air force surveillance Israel’s big air
forces bases in the Negev and its armored and ground
forces’ deployment around the evacuated Gaza Strip
Egyptian border guardsmen are ranged on their side of the
Rafah border ready to cross over upon the protocol’s
signature. For Israel, these concessions signify the end of the
Sinai Peninsula’s demilitarization, one of the most valuable
defense assets the Begin
government attained in return for withdrawing from Sinai under
the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty.
[ Ed: Will this bring Jimmy
Carter back into the equation? Time wil tell ]
Our exclusive sources learn that Israel is also willing to let
Egypt build a new 300-meter naval pier for six 300-ton
naval ships on the shore of Rafah, the town divided between Egypt
and the Gaza Strip. The craft are roughly the same
size as Israel’s “Storm” missile vessels. Command
and storage structures will be built on the wharf.
It is a little-known fact that the Egypt has one of the largest
and strongest navies in the Arab world; it is considered by
experts to be superior to the Israeli navy.
Ships from Lebanon or other hostile countries will be free
to put into Gaza port without undergoing Israeli inspection of
their passengers and cargos. The Egyptian navy will be in place
for blocking any attempt by an Israeli vessel to inspect or
interdict a suspect terrorist vessel entering Gaza waters
Under another secret clause, Egypt’s Gaza border force will
be provided with a fleet of 8 military helicopters - not just
light reconnaissance craft as claimed by Sharon and Mofaz. The helicopters
will carry missiles and sophisticated surveillance instruments.
Their deployment along the 14-km Philadelphi strip means the
helicopters will be placed at 1.75 km intervals along the route.

Israel
approves of Egyptian forces at Eastern Sinai -- Dec. 4, 2004
"Israel has approved in principle the deployment of
Egyptian special forces, heavy weapons and armor in eastern
Sinai.
Israeli officials said the government of Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon has agreed to an Egyptian proposal for the deployment of 750
border guard troops in eastern Sinai. They said the troops
would be equipped with armored combat vehicles, medium-
to heavy weapons and would patrol the Israeli-Egyptian as well as
the Egyptian-Gaza border.
Under the 1979 Israeli-Egyptian peace
treaty, Egypt could deploy a limited number
of border guards in eastern Sinai. The Egyptian border guards
could not be
equipped with anything other than light weapons.

US
Troops Needed ... April 2- 2002
The MFO was set up by Egypt, Israel and the U.S. to
monitor the 1978 Camp David peace accord. The force patrols the
Sinai, a triangle of desert, which Egypt lost to Israel in the
1967 war and regained via a U.S.-brokered peace treaty with
Israel in 1979. Israel withdrew from the Sinai three years after
the treaty with Egypt. The MFO, which flies a distinctive orange
flag, was then fielded to ensure the peace.
