Report: Israel massing planes for attack on Iran in Georgia, Azerbaijan
Could it be that the Iranians are getting paranoid or is this for real? Israel is massing warplanes in the Caucasus for an attack on Iran, it was revealed yesterday.By the way, this report also confirms the report of American troops being massed in Azerbaijan (from an Azerbaijani source).
Preparations are underway to launch the military attack from Azerbaijan and Georgia, reports our sister paper Akhbar Al Khaleej, quoting military sources.
Israel was, in fact, training pilots in Turkey to launch the strike and was smuggling planes into Georgia using Turkish airspace, they said.
However, Turkey was unaware of Israel's intention of transferring the planes to Georgia, the sources said.
The unexpected crisis between Israel and Turkey following an Israeli commando raid on an aid flotilla bound for Gaza Strip hit Israeli calculations.
Azerbaijan-based intelligence units, working under the cover of technicians, trainers and consultants, have helped with the preparations, the sources said.
Military equipment, mostly supplied by the US, was transported to a Georgian port via the Black Sea.
Georgian coastguard and Israeli controllers are co-operating to hide the operations from Russian vessels, said the sources.

If any of these reports are true; wonder how big is the pucker factor with Ergrodan right now?
hehe
I think something is afoot. And all of the sweet-talking in Jerusalem and Washington is just that. If there is a war, Iran will be hit from so many directions, it won't know where to retaliate.
Heh
Carl,
When Iran is attacked, Israel will likely be attacked by Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Jordan. Read Psalm 83. Israel will be hit hard as well, especially the north. Read Isaiah 17. 9th of Av is July 19. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
