Israel Preparing for War against Hizbullah or Iran
2011-11-14
[An Nahar] The Israeli army is conducting intense training over a possible strike against Iran, which may possibly lead to a war with Hizbullah, reported the Jerusalem Post on Saturday.

The training comes at a time when the media spotlight has focused on a possible war between Iran and the Jewish state over the former's nuclear ambitions.

A war against Iran also entails preparing for a war with Iran's close ally Hizbullah, added the Israeli newspaper.

The army is focusing on achieving a victory against the party should a war erupt with it, it said.

A high-ranking army officer stressed that the army is working on being as prepared as possible should a war break out, said Jerusalem Post.

On Tuesday, a U.N. report said there was "credible" evidence suggesting Iran's atomic program was being used to research putting nuclear warheads in ballistic missiles.

Hizbullah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

warned on Friday that "a war against Iran and Syria will not remain limited to Iran and Syria," and that it would rather spread to the entire region.

#4  CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Israeli DM Elud Barak] "NOT EVEN 500 ISRAELIS WILL BE KILLED".

ARTIC > BARAK = believes that, despite on-going media rhetoric, Israel will NOT launch any milstrike agz Iran in the near-term ALBEIT HE ALSO DOES BELIEVE THAT THE PROVERBIAL
"LAST/FINAL CHANCE" IS HERE FOR ANY PEACEFUL OR DIPLOMATIC/NEGOTIATED RESOLUTION TO THE PROB OF IRAN'S NUCPROGS, i.e. short-of-war for the World to stop Iran, + by extension Pro-Violence Radical Militants-Terrorists, from dev or acquiring NucWeaps.

versus

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS/TOPIX > REPORT: KUWAIT READY FOR [US, Israeli] MILITARY STRIKE AGZ IRAN.

HHHHMMM, yet Kuwait also repor claims there is no agreement wid the US to take in up to 4000 US Troops in the wake of the US-NATO pullout from Iraq.

Which is interesting because IMO Kuwait clearly is expecting Iran to attack it in retaliation for any US, Israeli strike agz its NucProgs -"DESERT STORM II", SAVE THIS TIME AGZ THE IRANIANS NOT SADDAM???

BASE-TOO-FAR QATAR + Bahrain are repor meeting wid KSA + other GCC Nations to discuss security agz Iran + how the GCC should respond iff-n-when a US, Israel milstrike does indeed occur.

#1  Nasrallah will go down history as the schmuck who sacrificed lebanon for his megalomaniac political dreams.
I hope he gets personally terminated when the festivities begin.
