Ex-Mossad official: Iran nuke submarine idea cover for uranium enrichment Iran’s recent rumblings about developing a nuclear submarine are a cover for its desire to start enriching uranium at higher levels, former Mossad official Sima Shine said on Monday. Speaking as part of a videoconference...

Sure. Wouldn't be the first intelligence failure on the side of the Israelis with regards to Hezbollah. They completely missed their anti-ship cruise missile capabilities around the Second Lebanese War as well.

The head of the research division of Israel's military intelligence basically said the same: https://www.israelhayom.com/2019/09/26/iran-could-fire-cruise-missiles-at-israel-from-iraq/ I leave it up to your wisdom to judge whether Israel has a good grasp of Hezbollah's precision-guided...

The 'war between wars', the name the Israelis gave to their campaign against Iranian entrenchment in the region, is ending according to generally well-informed Israeli journalist Ben Caspit. This is a pivotal moment in modern Iranian history guys. Iran has reached a kind of balance with its...

More: All air defense systems on alert amid Iran attack fears — general Israeli Air Force chief Amikam Norkin on Wednesday said the military’s multi-tiered network of air defense systems were “on alert” amid a general threat of attack by Iran. In recent weeks, the military has begun to...

Israeli newspaper Haaretz, leftist and usually highly critical of Netanyahu, is mentioning this now as well: Iranian Threat to Israel Is Real, Even if It Serves Netanyahu’s Interests "The prime minister speaks in closed forums in almost apocalyptic terms about the possible confrontation with...

Because the Arabs never fielded similar weaponry as Iran does right now. They manage to deter the Arabs for so long because the Arabs lacked capabilities to hit rear areas in Israel. Notwithstanding the widely unreliable and imprecise SCUD missiles they have had, and never knew how to use...

Nah. I do believe that Israel's current intelligence assesment, based on credible indicators, is that Iran has made a firm and strategic decision to no longer cope with Israeli attacks on its assets in the region. The cruise- and drone attacks on those Saudi facilities really changed the...

Who cares about some illerate, barbarian warrior from the empty grassland in Central-asia. You can have all those figures. Please tell me, which great city did the Turks ever build? And while you are at it, please tell me more about the great scientific contributions of the Turks in history...

I always thought that Germany had a decent education system, but I'll guess since your forefathers likely migrated to Germany to clean toilets as guestworkers you haven't enjoyed the fruits of that great system. Kurds are not from South India. And the Turks settled in the Middle East at the...

You seem to suffer from reading comprehension problems. I specifically said that no Persian army was ever decisively defeated by a Turkish army in history. Now, since you mention Chaldiran...I thought that the Safavid Empire wasn't Persian? It is all fine by me though. Also, the Ottomans never...

Fun fact: in the only two wars the Persians ever faced the Turks, the Turks got decimated. The Turks never defeated us. They might have ruled the lands of Iran once, but only because Iran was destabilized and fractured at that time. It didn't follow a military defeat. Also, they took over...

The same reason why they park their AC outside the Persian Gulf: Iranian missiles.

Praying Mantis is exactly the reason why Iran moved away from its conventional doctrine. Also, all sophisticated assets in hands of Iran today were absent in that era. Using that historical analogy is sheer ignorance. There is a reason why the US has stationed its carrier in the northern part...

Such a meaningless statement. Forgot how Mattis, one of the most competent American commanders post-WW2, shut down his officers when they they claimed Iran was no match? https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/12/james-mattis-iran-secretary-of-defense-214500 Or when the US spent $250...

Such a shitty article. Already a mistake in the first paragraph: The UAV that Iran shot down did have some defense against attacks: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/25/middleeast/iran-drone-shooting-capabilities-npw-intl/index.html

Whatever lay behind the indecisive Trump administration response to the alleged Sept. 14 Iranian missile and drone strike on Saudi oil facilities, one thing is clear. The United States’ ability to project power into the Persian Gulf region via carrier strike groups, the go-to U.S. option in such...

The reality is that every regional and international actor knows the main culprit of the attack, and Iran knows that they know. Plausible deniability on the other hand provides Iran with much more diplomatic and political leniency and that is the only reason why it denies involvement. Russia...

Who cares. The most important thing is that Saudi and the Americans know that Iran was behind the attack. And the message Iran send was loud and clear. The fact that Iran denies it at the international stage of public opinion is irrelevant. Same why Russia didn't acknowledge its little green...

You are such a clown. Ever heard of the concept of plausible deniability? Iran basically struck the most important energy facility in KSA in the knowledge that its regional adversaries would know that it was behind the attack itself, even if it denies it so in the public domain.
