Israeli war minister Ehud Barak will visit Washington next week to
meet with top U.S. government officials and President Bush in what
some are suggesting will be the final planning session in
anticipation of a military strike on Iran.
Barak will hold talks for three days with Defense Secretary Robert
Gates, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley and UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon - as well as U.S. President George
Bush.
Barak’s visit will also precede a tour by Israeli military chief of
staff Lieutenant-General Gabi Ashkenazi, who is set to meet with
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Michael Mullen.The trip
follows Mossad chief Meir Dagan’s visit to Washington during which
he met top intelligence officials.
“The visits of the Israeli officials came as an intense debate
continued to rage inside the US administration between those who
favored military action, led by Cheney, and those opposed, led by
Gates,” [3] according to a Jerusalem Post report.
The talks arrive on the back of two missile tests on behalf of Iran,
with a third rumored to have also just taken place.
Far from showcasing Iran’s deadly capability, it appeared as if one
of the tests actually went wrong.
Defense analyst Mark Fitzpatrick of the London-based International
Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), studied photographs of the
missile launches and [4] came to the conclusion that they had been
doctored.
“It very much does appear that Iran doctored the photo to cover up
what apparently was a misfiring of one of the missiles,” said
Fitzpatrick.
Responding to the tests, [5] Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
said today that the limited range of Iranian missile technology,
which is restricted to within 2,000 kilometers, proves there is no
justification for a US missile defense shield to be installed in
Europe.
“The tests in Iran confirm that Iran has missiles with a range of up
to 2,000 kilometers and confirm… that a missile defence shield with
these parameters is not needed to monitor or react to such threats,”
he said.
Rhetoric about the Iranian threat, as well as a propaganda assault
on behalf of the corporate media, has reached a crescendo over the
last two weeks, but forecasts of military action have been plentiful
for at least three years though have remained unfulfilled.
