LONDON (Reuters) – Israel is involved in a covert war of sabotage inside Iran to try to delay Tehran's alleged attempts to develop a nuclear weapon, a British newspaper said on Tuesday, quoting a former CIA agent and intelligence experts.
An intelligence source in the Middle East told Reuters last year Israel planned to target Iranian nuclear scientists with letter bombs and poisoned packages and had set off explosions in Iran. Analysts offered similar accounts and said such tactics would be credible, but no confirmation has been available.
Yes. Because, if left alone, Israel will...If i was Iran, i'd be stocking up on weapons just in case.

And what about all the ones that the Israeli secret operatives don't get caught or blamed for? I assume our western media will portray it as a terrorist element of Iran vying for control no matter what.
This article is creepy. If Iran was trying to nuke the world that would be scary. If their leader was telling the truth and they where only pursuing it for energy purposes then this is even scarier.
Both Iran and Israel scare the crap out of me.
Israel has nukes and might elect a far far right fascist religious nationalist government.
Iran is run by a bunch of religious nutjobs who are funding world wide terror (and have since the 1980s), and possibly working on a nuke.
Not sure which of the 2 would be more inclined to use a nuke, both are probably insane enough to do it.
Israel would definately use them in the event of a possible attack from Iran. Iran would use them if they knew they worked.

I sure hope not. We be close to the end of the world.
Using nuclear weapons is beyond insane. Any nation, Israel or Iran, using nukes, will go down in history along side Hitler. The amount of damage and collateral damage will be felt all around the world.
The areas nuked will be unliveable for generations, the people damaged for generations. The winds will take the fallout across the planet, over land making food for billions and cause mass starvation and death.
If you think that Israel nuking Iran or visa versa wont have environmental impact on the US.. think again. Even the fall out from Chernobyl reached the US.
hardly.I sure hope not. We be close to the end of the world.
Anyone... like Truman?Using nuclear weapons is beyond insane. Any nation, Israel or Iran, using nukes, will go down in history along side Hitler.
That depends -entirely- on how many nukes are used.The amount of damage and collateral damage will be felt all around the world.

The US and USSR tested nukes for decades. Some of them where very big and very dirty. What environmental impact was there on the US?If you think that Israel nuking Iran or visa versa wont have environmental impact on the US.. think again. Even the fall out from Chernobyl reached the US.

nukes come in all ranges of power. A bombs are significantely less destructive than H bombs.I sure hope not. We be close to the end of the world.
At the current rate of proliferation it seems inevitable that they will be used in a future conflict.Using nuclear weapons is beyond insane.
the US didn't, much to your chagrin I'm sure.Any nation, Israel or Iran, using nukes, will go down in history along side Hitler.
depends on the weapon, weather, and geography.The amount of damage and collateral damage will be felt all around the world.
then why didn't this doomsday happen in 1945? That's right, because those nuclear weapons weren't very powerful. I doubt Israel would drop bombs to annihilate itself in the process, buts it possible if Iran were to attempt a total destruction of Israel. Afterall Israel did prep such weapons to be used on Egypt via trucks during their conflict as a saftey precaution.The areas nuked will be unliveable for generations, the people damaged for generations.

How many people died from firebombing tokyo?Truman will forever be remembered as the only leader to use a nuke on human beings.
of course YOU don't. You are far to anti-american to render worthy opinions on anything American. But I'm sure you know that, as well as most on this board, already.When I think of Truman, I dont think of him as a great leader than won WW2, but as the man who nuked Japan to end WW2.
not for propaganda purposes as you would like, no. The US has paid civilians in the Marshall Islands for their suffering. Perhaps you should look into what reparations have been made instead of whining about events that you know little about.Who knows. Seriously, you expect the government of the US, USSR, Britain, France and China to admit that their nuclear testing (above ground) had environmental effects on civilian areas, let alone in the areas they nuked?
So Spanish history books compare truman to Hitler?The US wrote the history books, what you expect. But had someone nuked the US, and the US wrote the history books... then you bet that the person would be on the same level as Hitler.

Stick a fork in it, you're done.
That's not what he's saying at all.
He's saying that if someone nuked the US, Americans would equate that person to Hitler.
And they would be wrong.And since many Americans equate Osama bin Laden and his 3,000 some-odd deaths to Hitler (which is nothing compared to either Truman bombing, or Hitler for that matter), I'm sure they would.
So Japanese history books regard Truman as a Hitler?
And they would be wrong.
There's a clear distinction in the goals and means by wish the two men kill civilians that causes different labeling of their actions: terrorism vs genocide.

The US military is a terrorist organization just like Osama's. No differences. Terrorism is terrorism no matter the intent, rationale, or circumstances :roll:Isn't using atom bombs to make someone comply by scaring them into submission terrorism? The Japanese attacked military targets. We attacked cities.
we've had issues with our military personnel and their civilians that flamed this uproar. That and not all Japanese are happy with the US having military at their country (as can be expected). Overall relations appear strong, nonetheless.Right now they are trying to kick out one of our nuclear ships out of their harbor as we speak. They are very sensitive about it.
