| Iran Achieves a Four-Front Missile Command, Breakthrough on Nuclear Missile Warheads |
| 2008-06-02 |
| DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps have created a separate missile command, in which Syria’s missile force is to be integrated. The joint command was formalized in a new mutual defense treaty signed by the Syrian defense minister, Gen. Hassan Turkmani in Tehran last week. Israeli military sources judge the operational merger of Iranian and Syrian missile corps to be a major strategic hazard to the Jewish state. Western and Israeli military experts connect it with other indications that Iran’s program for developing missiles capable of delivering nuclear payloads has gone into high gear and reached an advanced stage. They believe the Iranians have beaten most of the technical difficulties holding it up. On May 26, the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, which often goes easy on Iran, released a harsh report confirming Iran’s progress in “missile warhead design.” The new missile command was cautiously announced last week by the IRGC commander, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari. He said: “An independent command might be created in Sepah (IRGC) in order to fortify the structure and activities of the missile section.” Military experts comment that Tehran’s centralized control of four hostile missile fronts will virtually neutralize the American and Israeli anti-missile defense systems in the region; the Arrow and the Patriot missile interceptors could handle incoming missiles from one or maybe two directions – but not four. |

| #4 NUCLEAR ISLAMISM-JIHAD RISING. Pragmatically, Israel may indeed have 00's of nuke warheads, but its a relatively small country compared to IRAN + ALIGNED, and IRAN, etc. won't need 00's to obliterate Israel. AS A NUCLEARIZING, FIRST-GENERATION NUC STATE, IRAN FOR NOW WILL ONLY NEED A SCORE OR MORE STRATEGIC WARHEADS, including RELIABLE DELIVERY-TARGETING SYSTEMS, for agz Israel + Local-Regional Deterrence, and can focus most of its indigenous nucdev mil efforts on TACTICAL/BATTLEFIELD NUKES = CBRN/WMDS, + SRBMS + IRBMS [read - Israeli Air-Ground = Conventional Forces] includ for MILITANT-TERR PROXIES [Covert Opers = Sappers?]. In the absence of any US-Iran conflict, the defeat = destruction of the vaunted IDF ["Moderate" Muslim Govts?] is now paramount. IMO, ISRAEL IS BEING GEOGRAPH "CONTAINED/ ISOLATED" IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE AS PER ANY FUTURE REGIONAL "LIMITED" NUCLEAR WAR [Preemptive/ Limited First Strike]. UNFORTUNATELY, SHORT OF MASS EMIGRATION THE PALEOS IN GAZA-WEST BANK WILL BE ALL BUT "EXPENDABLE" FODDER IN A "FINAL WAR" TO DESTROY ISRAEL, whether they side wid Iran or not. AGAIN, ISLAMIST IRAN + ISLAMIST MILITANT-TERR NEED TO KEEP THE US, ISRAEL, + ALLIED AMAP OUT OF CENTRAL ASIA + PERIPHERALS, OR IN THE ALTERNATE CONTAINED AND MILPOL DIVERTED. |

So, would ya' care to name these so-called military experts because they sure as hell don't what it is they're talking about. Oh, you must mean the Palestinian or Iranian military experts, right? Somebody needs to redefine their definition of what "front" means. |

| #1 For some reason this made me think of an old Tom Lehrer song Little Johnny Jones: So long, mom, I'm off to drop the bomb, So don't wait up for me. But while you swelter Down there in your shelter, You can see me On your tv. While we're attacking frontally, Watch brinkally and huntally, Describing contrapuntally The cities we have lost. No need for you to miss a minute Of the agonizing holocaust. (yeah!) Little johnny jones he was a u.s. pilot, And no shrinking vi'let was he. He was mighty proud when world war three was declared, He wasn't scared, No siree! And this is what he said on His way to armageddon: So long, mom, I'm off to drop the bomb, So don't wait up for me. But though I may roam, I'll come back to my home, Although it may be A pile of debris. Remember, mommy, I'm off to get a commie, So send me a salami, And try to smile somehow. I'll look for you when the war is over, An hour and a half from now! Maybe there is a Hebrew translation. |
