Hitting Iran secretly


The Secret War with Iran -Eli Lake

Israel and America are intensifying a clandestine war against Iran, claims Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman [pictured at right] in The Secret War with Iran.

He suggests that the West has had some successes in the war to stop the Iranian bomb, reporting that in January 2007 Iran determined that some of its nuclear suppliers in Europe were fronts for Britain's MI6 intelligence service.

Between 2006 and 2007, at least three planes "belonging to the Revolutionary Guards crashed in Iran, while carrying personnel connected with the security of the nuclear project." Specialized pipes for centrifuges sold to Iran have been modified, and specialized computers sold to Iran for its nuclear laboratories contained viruses that sabotaged the code.

UPDATE:

U.S., Israel Work to Hinder Iran Nuclear Plans -Yossi Melman

Straw companies were established that sold defective equipment to Iran, thus "poisoning" its nuclear program. The companies first sold Iran proper equipment to establish trust, and then supplied equipment fitted with listening devices or Trojan horses.

Some Swiss businessmen who played a major role in the smuggling network led by Dr. Abdul Khader Khan, the Pakistani who sold Iran the centrifuge diagrams, were actually CIA agents. This is only the tip of the iceberg of Israeli and Western efforts to block Iran's nuclear program.

Well thought out and executed if true. Hard to know though, since it makes for good reading, and we are getting it from a book, and not from a classified report.

True enough. Everyone knows there's interesting stuff going on behind the scenes that we won't knopw about for eons.

I hope this stuff is accurate.
