Israel and Iran better prepare for bombs. We all know about Iran’s President’s hatred for Israel and his desire to wiped them off the map, but I think Iran is going to wait for an attack from Israel. If they wait to be attacked then they can say they had a reason to wipe Israel off of the face of the earth.

Russian S-300 anti-air weapon already delivered to Iran

DEBKAfile Special Report

Despite the efforts of US and Israeli leaders, Moscow has begun delivering the highly sophisticated medium-range air defense S-300 system to Iran for securing its nuclear and strategic sites against potential attack.

The RIA news agency reported Wednesday night, Dec. 18: “Moscow has earlier met its obligations to supply Tor-M1 (short-range) systems to Iran and is currently implementing its contract to deliver S-300 systems.”

DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose the S-300 deliveries began two weeks ago.

Their installation, coinciding with the return home of members of Iranian air defense officers from training in Russia, means that air or missile attacks on Iranian sites will henceforth be extremely difficult and carry a high price.

On 9th October, DEBKAfile’s Moscow sources reported that Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert failed in the key mission of his trip to persuade Russian leaders to refrain from selling this advanced weapon to Iran and Syria.

On July 9, US Secretary of State Robert Gates said: “Based on what I know, it’s highly unlikely that those air defense missiles would be in Iranian hands any time soon.” Clearly, Gates was misinformed and his intelligence wrong, since five months on, those missiles are on their way to Iran.

We have been talking with Iran for years and diplomacy has not solved anything. Israel is scared about Iran’s new missiles and nuclear weapon programs. Israel is also scared about Obama wanting to meet directly without preconditions and his foreign policy plans. I think the only question now is, when?
