Iran has been a part of Jewish history since biblical times. The biblical books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther tell the story, life, and experiences of the Jews in Persia.
From the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 until the Iranian revolution in 1979, Israel and Iran had a fairly close relationship. His links and military projects were kept secret. They had also been cooperating on the development of a joint missile project.
Ahmadinejad was elected president in August 2005. Since then, he has constantly attacked Israel and its right to exist. He was quoted as saying. “The Israeli regime must be wiped off the map.” The Iranian attempt to develop nuclear capabilities coupled with threats from the current regime has prompted Israel to warn Iran that it is prepared to take unilateral military action. Israel will take such action as long as the international community does not stop the development of Iranian capabilities to develop nuclear weapons.
In 2005, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon gave the IDF Special Forces the green light to plan possible attacks on uranium enrichment sites in Iran.
The US Department of Defense is aware of that option and is cooperating with the Israelis on this issue.
There is a secret Israeli plan to attack the Iranian nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz. It could be executed using special nuclear bunker busters developed by Israel.
Those penetrating bombs are much more effective than the US GBU-39 bunker penetrating bombs that the Bush administration sold to Israel.
It could be done in one hit and the Iranian nuclear project would be wiped out.
A secret declassified CIA document from October 1994 deals with Iran’s assassination pattern.
Iran’s policy of assassinating opponents has changed little under the presidency of Ali Hashemi Rafsanjani. The number of assassinations committed by Iran has remained more or less constant during Rafanjani’s tenure. Since 1989, Iran has carried out an average of five assassinations a year, and Tehran-backed groups, notably radical Turkish Islamists, average another two assassinations a year.
Key objectives have remained largely unchanged during Rafanjani’s tenure. Most Iranian assassination targets are members of the Mujahideen Khalq or the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran (KDP-I). Iran attacks these two groups much more frequently than the third key Iranian target, supporters of the son of the former Shah of Iran.
Some specific targets have changed to accommodate changes in Iranian foreign policy, Saudi diplomats were targeted during 1989 and 1990, shortly after Saudi Arabia executed the Kuwaiti Shiites responsible for the Hajj bombings in 1989, but not They have been attacked ever since. Iran rarely relies on surrogates to carry out assassinations of Iranian opponents.
Iran generally relies on surrogates for attacks against non-Iranians. Iranian-backed Turkish Islamic groups, for example, have been responsible for the murder of a handful of secular Turkish journalists and a member of parliament since 1989.
In addition, attacks against foreigners in Turkey, including the attempted assassination of Jewish businessman Jak Kamhi (1993) and the bomb attacks that killed US military officer Victor Marvick (1991) and Israeli security officer Ehud Sadan (1992), are have been linked to Islamic groups backed by Iran.
Although the pace and targets of Iranian assassinations are not changing significantly, a review of assassinations since 1989 suggests that Iran is killing fewer opponents in Europe and more in Southwest Asia, particularly Turkey and Iraq.
We suspect that this change results from Iran’s interest in protecting its diplomatic and economic initiatives in Europe.
We note that the drop in murders in Europe began in 1993, when Iran began to experience difficulties in repaying foreign loans and the United States increased pressure on European countries to suspend credits to Iran. The countries surrounding Iran, particularly Turkey, Iraq, and Pakistan, offer a host of targets, and assassinations in those countries result in fewer diplomatic backlash for Iran than assassinations in Europe. Despite the apparent shift from Europe and the increased focus on killings in Southwest Asia, we have seen several suspected killings of opponents in Europe over the past year.
We cannot confirm that Iran has carried them out, and we have not included them in our statistics. These attacks include: January 17, 1994. Bagarmossen, Sweden. A KDP-I member was seriously injured by a letter bomb addressed to his wife, also a KDP-I member, according to the defense attache. October 11, 1994. Oslo, Norway. William Nygaard, the Norwegian editor of Salman Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses, was shot near his home.
Iranian threats with their aggressive attempts to develop nuclear weapons have forced Israel to prepare for pre-emptive action.
There have been many signs, overt and covert, that Israel is and has been holding exercises for such an act. One such exercise, according to certain sources, was the attempted landing of two civil aircraft at the Budapest airport in March 2010.
Another source claims that the secret plan is to generate a diversion near the main target in Iran by these civilian aircraft while, at the same time, military bombers will hit the target. The distance from Israel to Iran is somewhat less than that from Israel to Hungary…
