A Slip of the Lip Reveals the Truth!

How could I use a potential nuclear defensive weapon against someone if
I did not have it, or did not plan to develop it? Such was the case on Thursday in Iran, when
the Iranian Defense Minister said to
the Syrian Defense Minister what you will read in the first paragraph of the article extracted from the Jerusalem Post, which follows.

Iran would ‘Use Nuclear Defense’ if Threatened
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
June 15, 2006
Iran’s defense minister on Thursday vowed that his country would “use nuclear defense as a potential” if “threatened by any power.”
Speaking following a meeting with his Syrian counterpart Hassan Ali Turkmani in Teheran on Thursday, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar emphasized that Iran “should be ready for confronting all kinds of threats.”
Teheran has denied accusations by the US and its allies that Iran was seeking uranium enrichment technologies in order to develop nuclear weapons, saying its program was only meant to generate electricity.
Meanwhile, Turkmani told reporters that Syria and Iran’s “policy is the policy of strengthening resistance and tackling the threats of United States and Israel.”
He added that he wouldn’t give details of joint defense plans against Israel, although the plans were “not secret.”
Answering a question regarding a newly-developed Shahab 4 missile, Najjar said that research activities were underway.
Iran would continue production of “different missiles and research,” Najjar declared.
The most recent Iranian missile was the Shahab 3, and Iran recently claimed to have followed it up with the development of the Shahab 4.

Even though there has never been a second I was not certain Iran was in the process of developing a nuclear bomb to mount on a Shahab missile series, I have never been concerned about it, because
Iran knows it does not dare launch one against Israel. They not only know they could not possibly win a nuclear war against Israel, they also know their beloved country would no longer exist within a matter of minutes after they first launched one with a vertical trajectory toward Israel.
Oddly enough, the slip by
the Iranian Defense Minister is one of the rare times that an Iranian has recently told the truth, and that was only by accident.
Iran does indeed want nuclear warheads as deterrents to keep Israel from launching some 200 nuclear warheads against it, once a convention war begins with
Israel.
I certainly expect to see more and more of the weaponry Iran has, and is, continuing to purchase from Russia, China, and North Korea, as well as developing itself, being funneled into Syria in preparation for the Jihad which will be launched eventually from that country and southern Lebanon. Syria is not an oil rich country and, as such, is not able to pay into the economies of Russia, China, and North Korea for much high tech weaponry or foreign technicians, but Iran needs a staging area and a militarily strong Syria to fulfill its role in a future Jihad.
