Mounting sense of crisis over Iran

Israel’s defence minister has warned of his country’s readiness to act against Iran if it feels threatened.

Ehud Barak, speaking in Tel Aviv, said Israel had “proved in the past that it won’t hesitate to act when its vital security interests are at stake”.

He spoke as Iran’s testing of missiles that could reach Israel stoked tensions between the two, and with the US.

But Mr Barak added that diplomatic solutions should be pursued before other options were taken up.

“Currently the focus is international sanctions and vigorous diplomatic activity, and these avenues should be exhausted,” he said.

US warning

Over the past two days, the Iranian military has tested missiles, including one that it says could reach Israel.

Iran has been accused of altering an image of a missile test, possibly to exaggerate its military capabilities.

The two images show marked differences. The top photograph shows one of the missiles still in its launcher after apparently failing to fire from a desert launch pad. In the bottom image four missiles take off.

Defence analyst Mark Fitzpatrick of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies told AFP: “It very much does appear that Iran doctored the photo to cover up what apparently was a misfiring of one of the missiles.

“The whole purpose of this testing was to send a signal so Iran both exaggerated the capabilities of the missile in their prose and apparently doctored the photos as well.”

Why the hell would Ahmadinejad need to fake a missile test photo? The saber rattling is deafening in Israel and US, already. Why is he provoking two knee jerks before they leave office? Does he share the same Armageddon fantasy with these idiots?

BlueBloggin posts have suggested Bush will manufacture an incident to justify aggression against Iran before elections. Bush already has covert agents in Iran shaking up their politics, he needs little excuse to start a bombing campaign. He knows better than to blatantly use American troops … until his preparations and provocations are successful. These three players are committed to self-destruct at the expense of their countries. Enter Russia with a big grin. Who is watching the spectators?
