DEBKAfile reports that Iran launched its first ever spy satellite on February 3, 2009. The implication of the satellite is that Iran now has the capability of launching an ICBM. Given the fact that Iran now has nuclear capabilities it is reasonable to believe that they are now capable or very near capable of launching an ICBM with a nuclear warhead.
The DEBKAfile piece makes this alarming statement,
DEBKAfile's Iranian sources report the new satellite is designed for tracking, research, telecommunications and carries digital measuring instruments. They stress that it is a feather in the hat for Iran's "Military Group" – the team of scientists and technicians working on its clandestine nuclear bomb program. They are clearly moving ahead undisturbed by UN sanctions or technical difficulties toward rapidly finishing work on nuclear warheads for their ballistic rockets.
Clearly, the Iranians are planning to use their new nuclear military power. And with Russia apparently in their corner together they present a very dangerous alliance and threat to Israel and the United States.
Most in the elite media pay little attention to the conflict
between Israel and a Russian backed Iran. But in reality that conflict is under way. When Russia invaded Georgia last year they raided an Israeli air base, which they overtook and in so doing captured some Israeli military equipment. Apparently, the Israeli Air Force planned to use the air base to launch an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities if necessary. Too, Israel assisted Georgia in fighting off the Russians to capture the breakaway capitol of South Ossedia, which greatly angered the Kremlin and will likely bring a Russian reprisal upon Israel. The conflict has commenced and the next strike will undoubtedly be much more decisive.
