Israel stations nuclear missile subs off Iran
"Three German-built Israeli submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles are to be deployed in the Gulf near the Iranian coastline.

The first has been sent in response to Israeli fears that ballistic missiles developed by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, a political and military organisation in Lebanon, could hit sites in Israel, including air bases and missile launchers."

OH'bama!

Israel recoils as US backs nuclear move
"According to the top-selling Yediot Aharonot daily, the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was 'furious with the Obama administration for having failed to prevent the resolution from passing... and for choosing to support it.'

'The American support for the resolution, after decades in which it supported Israel on this issue, came as a complete surprise,' the paper said.

'In the secret talks that Netanyahu held with Obama's men... Israel was promised that the resolution would not focus on Israel and that if it did, the Americans would vote against.'

The left-leaning Haaretz daily said Israel had been 'sacrificed by the US on the altar of a successful conference' in what constituted 'a diplomatic victory for Egypt' which has campaigned against Israel's nuclear arsenal."

Syria accused of arming Hezbollah from secret bases - Times Online: "Yossi Baidatz, an Israeli intelligence officer, told the Knesset this month that the amount of arms being sent to Hezbollah by Syria and Iran could no longer be described as “smuggling”. He said it was an “organised and official transfer” of weapons and that the Scuds were “only the tip of the iceberg”."
