[quote:DoorBert:MV8yMDA0MTU0XzMzNjcxMzA1X0ZENjNDRkU=] An Israeli source says that the explosion was the result of a joint Mossad-MEK operation. The message Israeli intelligence sought to convey was that despite Fordo’s reputation as an impregnable fortress 300 feet under a mountain, it is vulnerable to attack. The source says the IAEA was not responsible for the sabotage. Though it’s entirely possible that Israel or the U.S. may’ve sought the inspection in order to track the level of damage done to the facility. They wouldn’t have even needed to reveal to the IAEA their real reason for seeking the visit. If this theory is correct and the Mossad struck at Fordo, and Israel or the U.S. orchestrated the inspection to coincide, it would be alarming, since the UN agency would become an extension of western intelligence interests. http://www.richardsilverstein.com/2012/09/19/mossad-sabotages-power-lines-to-iranian-nuclear-plant/ [/quote]
Original Message
The sabotage of the Fordo uranium enrichment facility’s power lines on Aug. 17 gave Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu extra leeway to move his original red line for Iran from late September 2012 – now – to the spring or early summer of 2013.
The disruption of the underground enrichment plant’s power supply caused several of the advanced IR-1 and IR-4 centrifuges producing the 20-percent grade uranium to burst into flames.
Work was temporarily halted and the accumulation of 240 kilos for Iran’s first nuclear bomb slowed down by at least six months.
Hence Netanyahu’s new red line timeline of “late spring, early summer” – before which preventive action is imperative – in his speech to the UN General Assembly Thursday, Sept. 27.
Military sources report that the advantage gained is already proving short-lived.
Iran has pounced back fast with two aggressive counter-moves on Israel’s doorstep:
1. Thousands of elite Al Qods Brigades officers and men are being airlifted into Lebanon and Syria and deployed opposite Israeli borders
2. Shortly before the Israeli Prime Minister rose to speak in New York, Syrian President Bashar Assad again removed chemical weapons out of storage. Some were almost certainly passed to the incoming Iranian units. The weapons’ movements were accounted for as a precaution for “greater security,” but in practice they will be ready for use against Israel when the order is handed down from Tehran.
