The Iranian rocket-carriers' launch with the first Iranian artificial Earth satellite under the name of Omid (Hope) aroused definite commotion within the Israeli security forces. " Iran poses the biggest strategic threat for Israel," Maariv newspaper reported, citing on the report developed by the Israeli Defense Army.
The matter is a strategic forecast for 2009, developed by the military intelligence (AMAH) and analytic administration of the General Staff for senior leadership of law enforcement bodies. The document stressed that Iran's military preparations focused on two directions: speedy development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile, as well as encouragement of terrorism, where Islam Republic plays the role of the centre of world terrorism, directing and financing actions of radical and extremist groups in many neighbor countries of Israel, as well as in Israel itself.
The report especially stresses the role of Hezbollah, which is an inalienable part of the Iranian policy in the Middle East, which arms and strengthens every day because of Tehran's real aid. HAMAS gets assistance and instructions from Hezbollah, according to the Israeli security specialists.
Soon the document will be submitted to the military and political cabinet, which should specify priority directions on description of the Iranian threat.
