Mossad e o Exército Israelense se negaram a criar plano de ataque contra o Irã

POR LUIS MIRANDA | THE REAL AGENDA | 18 NOVEMBRO, 2012

Todo mundo sabe que Benjamin Netanyahu, o primeiro-ministro israelense, e o seu ministro da Defesa, Ehud Barak, mal podem esperar para bombardear o Irã. Todo mundo, também, está consciente de sua incapacidade de convencer os seus militares sobre a inevitabilidade de um ataque iraniano a Israel.

Também está claro que o governo liderado por Barack Obama não gostaria de realizar um ataque ao Irã – pelo menos não neste momento – apesar do espírito de luta mostrado por Netanyahu, principalmente ao longo dos últimos dois ou três meses. Se George Bush ou Mitt Romney tivessem sido presidentes nos últimos quatro anos, o ataque ao Irã seria teria uma melhor chance de ocorrer do que durante o tempo que Obama está no cargo.

O que não se sabia é que tanto Mossad quanto o exército israelense se recusaram a preparar um plano para atacar o Irã. O plano foi solicitado por Netanyahu, de acordo com o Canal 2 da televisão israelense. O atual primeiro-ministro pediu a elaboração de planos específicos e ainda ordenou que o país se preparasse para um ataque iminente em 2010. Mossad e o Exército, ao contrário do que Netanyahu tinha em mente, se recusaram a criar ou implementar tais planos.

Gabi Ashkenazi, então chefe de estado, e Meir Dagan, chefe do Mossad, mostraram a sua oposição aos líderes políticos e deixaram claro que um ataque ao Irã seria equivalente a uma declaração de guerra, o que eles consideravam um erro estratégico de primeira ordem.

Uvda foi o programa do Canal 2 que fez as revelações na noite de segunda-feira em Israel, segundo foi anunciado pela imprensa local. A reportagem fala de uma reunião que aconteceu em 2010 e contou com a presença de sete ministros do Executivo.

Imediatamente após a reunião e pouco antes de Ashkenazi e Dagan saíram dessa reunião, Netanyahu ordenou a elevar o nível de alerta chamado “P Plus”, o código usado para a preparação para um ataque militar iminente.

Dada a incerteza do Primeiro-Ministro, Ashkenazi e Dagan se recusaram, informou o jornal Yedioth Ahronoth. “Você pode estar tomando uma decisão ilegal em ir à guerra”, Dagan disse a Netanyahu.

O chefe do Mossad estava se referindo às implicações políticas da declaração desta suposta declaração de guerra. O fato de que Netanyahu ordenou ao exército e  Mossad a se prepararem para um ataque significa que o primeiro-ministro tentou forçar seus ministros a aprovar tal decisão e deu a si mesmo o poder de tomar decisões sobre ir à guerra sem consultar ninguém.

Uvda quis confirmar esta versão dos acontecimentos com o ministro Ehud Barak e ele os confirmou. O ministro da Defesa Barak aparentemente se distanciou de Netanyahu após a reunião por causa de sua intenção de atacar o Irã. Netanyahu disse que não iria deixar o Irã produzir uma arma nuclear.

Enquanto Teerã sustenta que suas instalações nucleares são utilizadas apenas para a energia, o Ocidente suspeita dos planos do Irã e o primeiro-ministro israelense considera uma ameaça existencial para o seu país.

No seu recente discurso à Assembléia Geral das Nações Unidas no final de setembro, Netanyahu deu a entender que o ataque ao Irã poderia esperar até a primavera ou até mesmo o próximo verão.

O primeiro-ministro calcula que, a partir deste momento, o programa nuclear do Irã poderia chegar a um ponto em que seria capaz de produzir uma bomba nuclear dentro de semanas. Washington tem se mostrado relutante até o momento em participar de aventuras militares juntamente com Netanyahu.

Mossad y ejército israelí se negaron a crear plan de ataque contra Irán

POR LUIS MIRANDA | THE REAL AGENDA | 9 NOVIEMBRE, 2012

Todo el mundo sabe que Benjamin Netanyahu, el primer ministro israelí, y su ministro de Defensa, Ehud Barak, no pueden esperar para bombardear Irán. Todo el mundo también es consciente de su incapacidad para convencer a sus fuerzas militares y de inteligencia con respecto a la inevitabilidad de un ataque iraní contra Israel.

También está claro que al Gobierno que preside Barack Obama no le gustaría llevar a cabo un ataque contra Irán — al menos no en este momento — a pesar del espíritu guerrero mostrado por Netanyahu, que ha quedado más claro durante los últimos dos o tres meses. Si George Bush o Mitt Romney hubieran sido presidentes en los últimos cuatro años, el ataque contra Irán tendría una mejor oportunidad de ocurrir de lo que ha tenido durante el tiempo de Obama ha estado en el cargo.

Lo que no sabíamos es que tanto el Mossad como el ejército israelí se negaron a preparar un plan para atacar Irán. El plan fue solicitado por Netanyahu, de acuerdo con el canal 2 de la televisión israelí. El actual primer ministro pidió la elaboración de planes concretos, e incluso ordenó al país a prepararse para un ataque inminente en el 2010. El Ejército y el Mossad, contrariamente a lo que Netanyahu tenía en mente, se negaron a crear o ejecutar dichos planes.

Gabi Ashkenazi, jefe del estado mayor entonces, y Meir Dagan, jefe del Mossad en ese momento, se pusieron de pie y mostraron su oposición a los líderes políticos y dejaron en claro que un ataque contra Irán sería equivalente a una declaración de guerra, la que consideraron un error estratégico de primer orden.

Uvdá (Hecho) fue el programa del canal 2 que hizo las revelaciones al aire la noche del lunes en Israel, según lo anunciado por la prensa local. El informe habla de una reunión que tuvo lugar en 2010 y que contó con la presencia de los siete principales ministros del ejecutivo.

Inmediatamente después de la reunión, y poco antes de que Ashkenazi y Dagan salieran de tal reunión, Netanyahu ordenó elevar el nivel de alerta llamado “P Plus”, el código utilizado para la preparación para un ataque militar inminente.

Dada la incertidumbre del Primer Ministro, Ashkenazi y Dagan se negaron, informó el diario Yedioth Ahronoth. “Usted puede estar tomando una decisión ilegal al ir a la guerra”, dijo Dagan a Netanyahu.

El jefe del Mossad se refería a las implicaciones políticas de esa supuesta declaración de guerra. El hecho de que Netanyahu ordenó al Ejército y el Mossad  preparar al país para un ataque significa que el primer ministro trató de obligar a sus ministros a aprobar tal decisión, y se dio a sí mismo el poder de decisión sobre ir a la guerra sin consultar a nadie.

Uvdá quiso confirmar esta versión de los hechos con el ministro Ehud Barak y este los confirmo. El ministro de Defensa Barak aparentemente se distanció de Netanyahu tras la reunión debido a su intención de atacar a Irán. Netanyahu dijo que había que no iba a dejar a Irá producir un arma nuclear.

Mientras que Teherán sostiene que sus instalaciones nucleares son exclusivamente utilizadas para producir energía, Occidente desconfía de los planes iraníes y el primer ministro israelí lo considera incluso una amenaza existencial para su país.

En su reciente discurso ante la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas a finales de septiembre, Netanyahu dio a entender que un ataque a Irán podría esperar hasta la primavera o incluso el próximo verano.

A partir de ese momento, según lo calculado por el Primer Ministro, el programa nuclear de Irán podría llegar a un punto de no retorno en el que el régimen de Teherán podría producir una bomba atómica en cuestión de semanas. Washington se ha mostrado reacio hasta ahora a participar en aventuras militares como los supuestos planes solicitados por Netanyahu.

Mossad and Israeli Army refused to prepare plan of attack against Iran

By LUIS MIRANDA | THE REAL AGENDA | NOVEMBER 6, 2012

Everyone knows Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and his defense minister, Ehud Barak, can’t wait to bomb Iran. Everyone is also aware of their failure to convince their military and intelligence regarding the inevitability of an Iranian led attack on Israel.

It is also clear that the government headed by Barack Obama is not fond of carrying out an attack on Iran — at least not right now — despite the warrior spirit shown by Netanyahu, which has become clearer during the past two or three months. Had George Bush or Mitt Romney been presidents for the last four years, the attack on Iran would have had a better chance of happening than it did during Obama’s time in office.

What we did not know and is that both Mossad and the Israeli army clearly refused to prepare a plan to attack Iran. The plan was supposedly requested by Netanyahu, according to channel 2 from Israeli television.  The current prime minister asked for the crafting of concrete plans and even ordered the country to prepare for an imminent attack in 2010. The Army and Mossad, contrary to what Netanyahu had in mind, refused to create or run such plans.

Gabi Ashkenazi, chief of staff then, and Meir Dagan, the head of Mossad at the time, stood up to the political leaders and made it clear that an attack on Iran would be tantamount to a declaration of war, which they considered a strategic error of first order.

Uvda (Done) was the program from channel 2 that made the revelations aired Monday night in Israel, as advertised by the local press. The report talks about a meeting that took place in 2010 and that was attended by the seven chief ministers of the executive.

Right after the meeting and just as Ashkenazi and Dagan were about to walk out the door, Netanyahu ordered them to raise the level of alert called “P Plus”, the code used for the preparations for an imminent military strike.

Given the uncertainty of the Prime Minister, Ashkenazi and Dagan refused, reported the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper. “You may be taking an illegal decision to go to war,” said Dagan to Netanyahu.

The Mossad chief was referring to the political implications of that alleged declaration of war. The fact that Netanyahu ordered the Army and the Mossad to prepare the country for an attack means that the prime minister tried to force his cabinet ministers to approve such decision, and gave himself the power to decide to go to war without consulting anyone.

Uvda confirmed this version of events with minister Ehud Barak himself. Defense Minister Barak apparently distanced himself from Netanyahu weeks after the meeting due to his intention to attack Iran, which Netanyahu said was necessary to stop the country from producing a nuclear weapon.

While Tehran maintains that its nuclear facilities are solely used to produce energy, the West distrusts Iranian plans and the Israeli Prime Minister considers it even an existential threat to his country.

In his recent speech to the UN General Assembly on late September, Netanyahu hinted that an attack on Iran could wait until spring or even next summer.

From that moment, as calculated by the Prime Minister, Iran’s nuclear program would reach a point of no return in which the regime in Tehran could produce an atomic bomb within weeks. Washington has been reluctant so far to participate in military adventures such as the alleged plans requested by Netanyahu.

Mujahideen-e-Khalq Terrorist Organization Trained on US Soil by US Military

By TONY CARTALUCCI | LAND DESTROYER | APRIL 8, 2012

Ynetnews reported in their article, “US operated deep in Iran, trained assassins,” that, “the New Yorker reported over the weekend that the US trained members of the Iranian opposition group Mujahideen-e-Khalq. According to previous reports, Israel has been cooperating with the group, which allegedly carried out hits on Iranian nuclear scientists.” Ynetnews also reported that US officials doubt Iran is or will be developing nuclear weapons, as has been claimed to justify years of sanctions, covert subversion, terrorism, and unprovoked attacks by the West against Iran.

It appears that not only Israel, but the US in tandem with Mossad have been training, arming, financing, harboring, and directing the US State Department-listed foreign terror organization (#29) Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) since as early as 2005 where MEK terrorists were brought to Las Vegas, Nevada to train. The April 2012 New Yorker article, “Our Men in Iran?” by Seymour Hersh, elaborates in detail how the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) trained a listed terrorist organization on US soil before sending them back to Iran with weapons and money to carry out “anti-regime terrorist activities.” MEK is suspected to be behind a rash of assassinations targeting Iranian scientists, as well as handling patsies in a string of international bombings US and Israeli officials attempted to pin on Iran.

And while MEK’s representatives, including a growing lobby in Washington D.C. consisting of some of the most disingenuous supporters of the “War on Terror,” including Rudy Giuliani, former US Marine Commandant General James Jones, Tom Ridge, and Lee Hamilton, claim MEK has renounced “terror,” the entire purpose of training them, funding them, and getting them removed from the US State Department “Foreign Terrorist Organization” list is to allow them to carry out a wider campaign of violence against the Iranian people with even greater US support. In essence – to support terror on an unprecedented scale.

Mossad & CIA: No Proof Iran is Producing Nuclear Weapon

RUSSIA TODAY | MARCH 18, 2012

Israel’s intelligence service Mossad has acknowledged, just like their American counterparts, there is no proof Tehran is carrying out a nuclear weapons program, a source in US intelligence told the New York Times.

­An unnamed former senior US intelligence official told the paper “Mossad does not disagree with the US on the [Iranian] weapons program.” The consensus among US spy agencies remains that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons research several years ago.

“There is not a lot of dispute between the US and Israeli intelligence communities on the facts,” the official continued.

Such recognition comes in stark contrast with Israeli politicians, who have continually insisted on an immediate military strike on Iran’s nuclear installations to prevent it from evolving into an “existential threat” to the Jewish state.

The assessment of the intelligence available is the key to the ongoing war or peace dilemma with Iran. US spy agencies have been searching around for years, trying to find proof Iran is developing a nuclear warhead and missiles to deliver it. For all of their troubles, this is what they’ve found: the program was shut down way back in 2003.

As of today, the intelligence data on Iran has not significantly changed.

“Iran is the hardest intelligence target there is. It is harder by far than North Korea,” another former intelligence officer confessed to the NYT. His explanation was simple: the US doesn’t have many agents on the ground to verify information.

There are reports the US use sensors implanted near Iranian nuclear facilities to monitor the situation.

But while intelligence circles might admit Iran is not close to obtaining nuclear weapons, the sanctions against Iran remain in place.  Meanwhile, neither Israeli nor American leaders make any bones of threatening Iran with a military solution to prevent the country’s frustrated nuclear ambitions from seeing the light of day.

Iran insists on the utterly peaceful character of its nuclear program and promises not to give it up at any cost.
