Report: Israel developed nuclear warheads for its submarines

By Haaretz Service



The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday that Israel
has modified U.S.-supplied cruise missiles and
fitted them with nuclear warheads, thus enabling
the Israeli navy to launch a nuclear strike from
its submarines.




The report, by senior Bush
administration officials, was
verified by Israeli officials,
though all three spoke with the
newspaper on condition of
anonymity.

According to the newspaper, this
development may hinder U.S.
efforts to foil Iranian

aspirations to attain military nuclear
capacities.

2. Based on its past history, Israel would use them against the US if

it felt it was necessary to bring us in line. Every Arab nation is justified in getting and building as many WMDs they can to defend themselves from the US and Israel.

3. But no one is concerned...

With Israeli nukes, even if they will be able to use them against any country in the world.

With the blessing of the US

Pay no attention to this... There is a big bad muzzie boogyman for you to pay attention too. One, who like the last, does not have these weapons.

Israel Adds Subs to Its Atomic Ability

From the Original Post:

REPORT
Israel Adds Subs to Its Atomic Ability
Officials confirm that the nation can now launch nuclear weapons from land, sea and air. The issue complicates efforts to rein in Iran.


By Douglas Frantz, Times Staff Writer


TEL AVIV — Israel has modified American-supplied cruise missiles to carry nuclear warheads on submarines, giving the Middle East's only nuclear power the ability to launch atomic weapons from land, air and beneath the sea, according to senior Bush administration and Israeli officials.

The previously undisclosed submarine capability bolsters Israel's deterrence in the event that Iran — an avowed enemy — develops nuclear weapons. It also complicates efforts by the United States and the United Nations to persuade Iran to abandon its suspected nuclear weapons program.
