None of the enemies of the United States and Israel want to see a nuclear war in the Middle East or anywhere else on the planet. All of them, certainly including Syria, Iran, Russia, and China are fully aware of the massive inventory of WMD possessed by both the U.S. and Israel. The major advantage of America and Israel is nuclear, not the convention elements of warfare that include such things as huge numbers of military personnel
and military hardware.
They also have an advantage by already being a part of the huge continent between the Bay of Biscay and the Bering Straits, which gives them a tremendous advantage in faster transport of massive military supplies
by mainland transportation.
Iran will develop a nuclear warhead, and an arsenal of nuclear warheads, but they will not launch a pre-emptive strike against Israel, nor will Israel launch one against them. The blasts and radiation effects would kill millions more of Allah’s followers than Jews or Americans in the Middle East, since the atomic fallout particles would spread across many
of Israel’s surrounding Islamic nations.
The Antichrist would hardly return to Jerusalem from Egypt and sit on the Temple Mound at Armageddon if it had been destroyed by a nuclear warhead or if it was blanketed by deadly thermonuclear radiation.
Daniel 11:43 to 12:1 – But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. [44] But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. [45] And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. [1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
There will not be a major war in the Middle East until: (1) American troops are out of Iraq, (2) Iran has what it considers a sufficient arsenal of deliverable nuclear for deterrent purposes, and (3) A fully operational Russian Iskander Missile Defense System is in place. The earliest possible time I believe all this could be possible is 2010 and the latest would be 2015.

Iran has enough material for one bomb’
November 20, 2008
Yaakov Katz , THE JERUSALEM POST
Iran will have enough highly enriched uranium by the end of 2009 to produce its first nuclear weapon, a former top official in the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission told The Jerusalem Post Thursday, refuting a New York Times article which claimed that the Islamic Republic already had sufficient nuclear material to create a weapon.
Both the article and veteran Israeli nuclear expert Ephraim Asculai’s remarks came in response to a report released Wednesday by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in which the United Nations nuclear watchdog claimed that, as of early this month, Iran had amassed 630 kilograms of low-enriched uranium (LEU).
According to the IAEA report, Iran was enriching uranium with the just over 3,800 centrifuges it had installed in an underground facility in Natanz, and was working to install another 2,200 in the near future.
Asculai said that Iran was also working on integrating a more advanced centrifuge into the facility, the P2, which it developed based on blueprints received from Pakistani nuclear scientist A.Q. Kahn. The new centrifuge is capable of enriching uranium faster and to higher levels.
The IAEA report was in line with a Military Intelligence assessment presented to the cabinet in September according to which Iran had about a third of
the required HEU for a bomb.
The New York Times quoted Richard L. Garwin, a top nuclear physicist who helped invent the hydrogen bomb, as saying that Iran had produced approximately enough nuclear material to assemble an atomic weapon.
“They clearly have enough material for a bomb,” said Garwin. “They know how to do the enrichment.
Whether they know how to design a bomb, well, that’s another matter.”
Asculai said Garwin’s assessment was alarming but that ultimately Iran was still about a year away from obtaining enough HEU for its first nuclear weapon.
“[The] IAEA set 25. kg of HEU as the quantity needed for a nuclear bomb,” he said. “You don’t extract 25. kg of HEU from 630 kg. of LEU. On the other hand, the distance is not far, and if not stopped before [that point] they will have enough HEU by the end of 2009.”

Russia will not sell Iskander missiles to Syria in near future
November 20, 2008
Yaakov Katz , THE JERUSALEM POST
Months after offering Russia
to deploy long-range ballistic missiles in his country, Syrian President Bashar Assad was informed this week that Moscow will not sell Iskander missiles to foreign clients due to production delays.
According to a report in the Russian news agency Novosti, the state arms exporter Rosoboronexport has decided that despite interest from a number of countries – including Syria, the United Arab Emirates and India – Moscow will not export the Iskander missile until the Russian Armed Forces are fully equipped with the system.
The Iskander missile – also known as the SS-26 Stone – is a short range, solid fuel propelled, theater quasi-ballistic missile system. According to reports, the Iskander missile has only been subject to test firing and will likely only become operational in four years.
The system was developed to carry conventional warheads for the engagement of small targets, fixed missile silos and anti-aircraft systems as well as command posts and critical civilian infrastructure facilities. The missiles are reportedly difficult to intercept.
In August, Assad visited Moscow where he spoke with President Dmitry Medvedev and reportedly discussed the possibility of allowing Russia to set up Iskander missile launchers in Syria.
Israel was concerned with the reports and feared that the missiles could be used in a future conflict in the region. In October, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made a lightning trip to Moscow to urge Medvedev not to sell Syria advanced missile systems.
In May, a Syrian military delegation, led by Air Force Commander Gen. Ahmad Al Ratyb, visited Russia for talks about the possible procurement of
the Iskander as well as the advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missile defense system.
Earlier this month, Medvedev threatened to deploy Iskander missiles in the Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad sandwiched between NATO members Lithuania and Poland in order to “neutralize if necessary” a proposed US missile defense system in Europe.
Chief of the General Staff Gen.
Nikolai Kakarov said that the military was prepared to deploy the missiles per Medvedev’s final order.
