Israel,
Fighter Jets, Submarines, Satellites and Iran

Jerusalem,
Israel ---- July 5, 2009 ...... As Israel receives explicit consent
from Saudi Arabia to use their airspace to two defend both nations
from a nuclear Iran, Israel maintains several other options to
defend herself from an Iran nuclear threat.
The
Sunday Times of London reported today that Israel Mossad
director Meir Dagan has held secret talks with Saudi officials
to discuss the possibility of using Saudi Arabia airspace for
a air strike to take out Iran's nuclear weapon manufacturing facilities.
"The
Saudis have tacitly agreed to the Israel air force flying through
their airspace on a mission which is supposed to be in the common
interests of Israel and Saudi Arabia," the Times quoted a
diplomatic source as saying.
Israel and
Saudi Arabia have no formal diplomatic relations but Mossad has
"working relations" with the Saudis, the newspaper added,
citing an Israeli defense source.
But perhaps
more potent than combat jets are the dozens of Israel navy submarines
patrolling the world's many seas.
An Israel
submarine sailed through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea in a
trek that many are interpreting as a direct warning to Iran.
An Israel
defence official said the Dolphin-class submarine made the passage
last month from a Mediterranean naval base to take part in maneuvers
off the Israel Red Sea resort of Eilat.
Israel does
not publish details of the type of armaments it possesses but
some foreign media reports say Dolphin-class subs can fire nuclear-tipped
cruise missiles. Officials said the voyage was made overtly, with
the vessel on the surface.
Iran has repeatly
stated that they would "wipe Israel off the map". A
threat not taken lightly in Jerusalem.
The IDF has
and continues to go through several war exercises in preparation
of a defensive war with Iran.
As recent as last month, children in every school from Metulla
in the North to Eilat in the South ran into protected rooms during
an Israel civil defense drill to prepare the children for such
a war. Those traumatic moments of running into cement sealed rooms
will be remembered by the children, their teachers, their parents
and the Israel government.
"Israel
has several options of defending herself in a war with Iran, Syria
and terror groups Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah," said
an Israel security analyst. "Our war would not be with the
Iran people, but rather with an oppressive government for which
the Iranian people don't want. As such, any action that Israel
would take would avoid the civilian population. But should the
Iranian government attack Israel, our invisible submarines could
turn all of Iran into a desert. A greater defense that Israel
could use could come from above. And I am not talking IAF combat
jets, but rather satellites that may or may not be equipped with
precision laser weapons that could burn and evaporate a building
from the heavens above. Any war with Iran would represent a one
way ticket to 72 virgins for the present Iran regime."
