Olmert Says Iran Has Crossed Red Line
Too Late for Sanctions or Talks
Debkafile is reporting that Israel's Prime Minister Olmert provided Russia's President Putin with an Israeli intelligence warning of an Iranian nuclear breakthrough while Defense Minister Barak did the same to President Bush. Olmert is providing the same information to French and the British leaders.
Olmert's message is that the time for diplomacy and sanctions has passed. The only thing that will prevent Iran from building its own nuclear weapons is military action. American reaction to the news was US Vice President Cheney's remark: "Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions." Last Friday the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mullen said that US forces are capable of operations against Iran's nuclear facilities or other targets indicating that US forces are not stretched so far that America couldn't deal with Iran's nuclear threat.
According to Debka sources, Israeli intelligence has discovered that Syria has been worling on a plutonium reactor and the intelligence community now suspects that if Syria has been working to build a plutonium reactor then undoubtedly so is Iran. A plutonium reactor is used for more advanced nuclear weapons, far greater than the atomic bombs of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Intellience experts surmise that any Iranian plutonium reactor program is likey buried in a secret underground mountain facility. If that is the case, only large nuclear weapons would likely destroy the facility according to other A-O sources.

on Israel's Syrian Raid
A handful of Congressional leaders have been briefed by the Bush administration on Israel's air strike against a Syrian nuclear facility.The leaders were sworn to secrecy on the details, but aftewards, 2 congressmen wrote an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal stressing that the entire Congress needs to also receive the briefing.

Shake-Up In Iranian Regime
Top Security Chief and Nuke Negotiator Resigns
Iran's National Security Advisor and top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani resigned his position over the weekend in a move that signals a short-term power gain for Iran's President and the ultra-hardliners in Tehran. Based on new reports from analysts and intelligence reports, the Iranian regime has suddenly shifted into an even harder line against the West as the EU and UN negotiators attempt to yet negotiate some sort of compromise agreement with Iran over its nuclear program.
Meanwhile, in Iran, news of the resignation triggered internal criticism against the President. For more details on this story, LINK here.
