It was reported that earlier this month Israel took part in a military excercise that included a rehersal of more than 100 F-16’s and F-15 fighters in a mock bombing raid over several days. This has been labled a preparation for the inevitable attack on Iran that will ensue and that it is not a matter of “if” Iran will be attacked, but when.

 U.S. Says Israeli Exercise Seemed Directed at Iran

Published: June 20, 2008

WASHINGTON — “Israel carried out a major military exercise earlier this month that American officials say appeared to be a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Several American officials said the Israeli exercise appeared to be an effort to develop the military’s capacity to carry out long-range strikes and to demonstrate the seriousness with which Israel views Iran’s nuclear program.

More than 100 Israeli F-16 and F-15 fighters participated in the maneuvers, which were carried out over the eastern Mediterranean and over Greece during the first week of June, American officials said.

The exercise also included Israeli helicopters that could be used to rescue downed pilots. The helicopters and refueling tankers flew more than 900 miles, which is about the same distance between Israel and Iran’s uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, American officials said.

Israeli officials declined to discuss the details of the exercise. A spokesman for the Israeli military would say only that the country’s air force “regularly trains for various missions in order to confront and meet the challenges posed by the threats facing Israel.”

But the scope of the Israeli exercise virtually guaranteed that it would be noticed by American and other foreign intelligence agencies. A senior Pentagon official who has been briefed on the exercise, and who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the political delicacy of the matter, said the exercise appeared to serve multiple purposes.

One Israeli goal, the Pentagon official said, was to practice flight tactics, aerial refueling and all other details of a possible strike against Iran’s nuclear installations and its long-range conventional missiles.”

It was also reported that when this attack comes, Iran will no doubt retaliate and for the U.S. this means an immediate response in defense of Israel, which, in all the planning and preparation from the Bush Administration and their continuous visits to Israel and the Israeli Prime Minister’s visits to Washington, this is all part of the big plan for the expansion of the war in middle-east to include Iran, which as has been pointed out in the Book “The King of Terror” this is part of taking the “Middle Zone” which is the all important task of securing this part of the world while “following in the footsteps of the Mongols.”

After this soon to come attack on Iran the price of oil will go through the roof and gasoline will spike, as was reported on the NBC news, to between 8 and 12 dollars a gallon. Imagine what this will do to the American economy now as it teeters percariously as it is. All this leading to the nuclear destruction of New York City in this scenario and timeline of the age Nostradamus foresaw and the bible prophets warned.
