The NY Sun published a fascinating article detailing Israel’s Secret War with Iran! These are a few of the excerpts from the story.
Israel and America are intensifying a clandestine war against Iran that has run hot and cold since the Islamic Revolution in 1979 but has grown more urgent as Iran races to obtain an atomic bomb.
Nonetheless, the Israeli journalist compiles a picture that suggests that the West has had some successes in the war to stop the Iranian bomb. Mr. Bergman reports, for example, that in January 2007 Iran determined that some of its nuclear suppliers in Europe were fronts for Western intelligence services, specifically Britain’s MI6.
And Mr. Bergman writes that between February 2006 and March 2007, at least three planes “belonging to the Revolutionary Guards crashed in Iran, while carrying personnel connected with the security of the nuclear project.” Specialized pipes for centrifuges sold to Iran have been modified, he writes, and specialized computers sold to Iran for its nuclear laboratories contained viruses that sabotaged the code.
The secret efforts appear not to be limited to modifying equipment: On January 18, 2007, an Iranian expert on electromagnetics who worked in an Isfahan enrichment facility, Ardeshir Hosseinpour, died in his apartment, Mr. Bergman writes.
Mr. Bergman also details a success for the CIA in the shadow war against Iran, when General Ali Reza Askari defected to the American side in February 2007. Mr. Bergman reports that General Askari was closer to the reformist President Khatami and felt threatened by his old rival in intelligence when President Ahmadinejad came to power in 2005.
General Askari, for example, warned Mr. Khatami after the attacks of September 11, 2001, that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards had given shelter to key Al Qaeda operatives fleeing American troops in Afghanistan. He said in his debriefings, according to Mr. Bergman, that Iran had entered into joint nuclear projects with both Syria and North Korea.
The defector also claimed that Iran erected a secret enrichment facility near the known centrifuge area in Natanz. - Source - NY Sun
Israel is going to do all it can to stop the Iranian Nuclear Weapons program — and hopefully it’ll be stopped without a shot being fired!
Until next time…

To stop the madness without war would be great–but to begin with, they need to take out Amadinejad and the Ayatollah bunch–the rank and file Iranians, I think, are good people caught in a system they can’t seem to change. It’s hard to fight an enemy that actually wants to die-and is determined to gain rulership of the whole world!
