#1 There seems to be a cold war going on between Russia and Israel right now, because the Russians have been very active in unmasking Israeli espionage ops in other countries.

They bring in high tech electronic surveillance equipment to locate the Israeli spies, then once identified, the local tyrant's secret police can roll up a whole group at once.

Which makes you wonder both what started it, and how the Israelis will pay back the Russians.

#5 From the JP article, "...Iranian Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi also said Iran has built a plant to make nuclear fuel plates and rods in Isfahan..."

At first I thought that the Mullahs were planning to make nuclear vehicle license plates. If both the front and the back were made of a thick piece of PL 239 and if a car ran into your rear the combined mass would be enough to go critical.

cool

#7 Phaiger Trotsky4912: A specialist FSB unit provided electronics surveillance information to Hezbollah against the major "Al-Alam spy ring" in Lebanon, with over 70 individuals accused of working for Israel captured.

Add to that the more recent announcement by Egyptian counterintelligence about the arrest of several Israeli agents, that were also probably narked by the FSB.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the Russians were trying to punish Israel for their work against the Iranian nuke plant. But it could be anything under the sun that has put a bee in their bonnet.

#8 Russia should be careful. On of their own nuclear reactors could have an accident.
