“The sanctions placed on Iran have not prevented it from continuing to development its nuclear program, though they are absolutely damaging the country’s economy,” said Col. Yossi Adler, Deputy Head of the IDF Intelligence Corp’s Research Division, in a discussion of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday (Dec. 7).
During the discussion, Col. Adler said that the financial situation in Iran is forcing the government in Tehran to cancel subsidies for its citizens, this in the context of renewing negotiations between Iranian officials and the great powers regarding the continuation of Iran’s nuclear program.
According to Col. Adler, Hezbollah is continually becoming more powerful and receiving arms from Syria which, “threatens central Israel the most.” During the discussion, he added that “the chances of tension from this trickling down to Israel are low.”
Furthermore, the Deputy Head of the IDF Intelligence Corp’s Research Division said there is fear that Hezbollah will take over Lebanese government institutions following publications by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is investigating the murder of Lebanon’s former Prime Minister Rafik Al-Hariri. Two weeks ago, the Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, said he assumed the chances of a Hezbollah attack on Israel are low according to the aforementioned publications. “As long as the report is in favor of Hezbollah, stability in the area will remain,” he said.

THIS REPORT IS ONLY PARTIALY TRUE.I BELIEVE THAT IRAN WILL ONLY LAUNCH ON ISRAEL NOW IF FORCED TOO. BUT THEY MAY BE VERY TOLERANT NOW BECAUSE THEY FIGURE THEY ARE ABOUT TO BE ATTACKED. THIS IS THE SAME KIND OF RECLUSIIVE PROFILE SCENARIO ANND MODEM OPERENDA AS THE NORTH KOREANS. THE SAME RETALITORY MMODES OF SYSTEMATIC ATTACKINNG THROUGH JIHADIST NETWORKS APPLY AND IRAN WILL ATTEMPT TO LAUNCH MOREAL-QAEDA ATTACKS TOO. THIS WOULD KEEP THE U.S. AND ISRAEL AT BAY WHILE THE HIZBOLLAH CHUM THE WATERS FORA PENDING NUCLEAR STRIKE. THEY WILL WAIT THOUGH TILL THEY HAVE A MULTIPLE NUCLEAR MISSILE CAPABILITY!
