Worthy Christian News Blog » Is the United States Trying to Prevent an Israeli Attack on Iran?

Ha’aretz reported today:

The security aid package the United States has refused to give Israel for the past few months out of concern that Israel would use it to attack nuclear facilities in Iran included a large number of “bunker-buster” bombs, permission to use an air corridor to Iran, an advanced technological system and refueling planes.

However, it appears that in compensation for turning down Israel’s “offensive” requests, the U.S. has agreed to strengthen its defensive systems.

During the Barak visit, it was agreed that an advanced U.S. radar system would be stationed in the Negev, and the order to send it was made at that time. The system would double to 2,000 kilometers the range of identification of missiles launched from the direction of Iran, and would be connected to an American early warning system.

The system is to be operated by American civilians as well as two American soldiers. This would be the first permanent U.S. force on Israeli soil.

A senior security official said the Americans were preparing “with the greatest speed” to make good on their promise, and the systems could be installed within a month.

At first glance, it appears that there’s no possible way that Israel will be able to strike Iran! But as I thought about it, it reminded me of what Sun Tzu said in the “Art of War.” He stated, “In conflict, straightforward actions generally lead to engagement, however surprising actions generally lead to victory.”

Nevertheless, it appears the United States is prepared to set up a defensive military installation in the Negev within the month. Perhaps, it’ll be operational in time for the U.S. Elections November 4th — wouldn’t that be a coincidence!

Until next time…
