#2 Iran bites back:
Tehran warns Israel against attack on Syria as arms tension mounts
Iran has pledged to "cut off Israel's feet" if it attacks Syria, fuelling tensions over one of the Middle East's most combustible flashpoints after the US publicly warned Damascus not to risk starting a war.

Mohammad Rida Rahimi, the Iranian vice-president, made the statement today at the end of a visit to Syria that was billed as underlining the strategic relationship between the two countries.

"We will stand alongside Syria against any [Israeli] threat," Rahimi said at a news conference with the Syrian prime minister, Mohammad Naji Otri. "If those who have violated Palestinian land try anything, we will cut off their feet," he promised.

The sabre-rattling followed a spate of US statements accusing Damascus and Tehran of arming the Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah with sophisticated weapons that could threaten Israel.

#4 Israel is building up its deep water navy--two advanced corvettes and two--negotiating for a total of nine--Dolphin-class attack submarines. Looks like some of this will be ready by 2012. In time to blast the 12 imam out of his turban.

#5 Israel already has three Dolphin submarines, at least 150-200 nuclear warheads, the ability to design/mate nuclear warheads to both cruise missiles and long-range tactical and strategic missiles, and has been researching solid-rocket missile engines since at least the early 1970's. At least two of the Dolphin submarines are suspected of having 650mm torpedo tubes capable of housing long-range supersonic cruise missiles, and one is suspected of being ALWAYS on patrol somewhere in the Indian Ocean (source). If Iran does something stupid, the sun could rise there at midnight.
