Many say Israel had intelligence that an attack would take place, giving rise to speculations on Israel letting the attacks take happen, given their gains. As for the implications of this attack, this means that it's the end of Israel. Until now it was considered that Syria was a safe haven for it. It wa a secure border for it.

They can use this as a pretext to block any attempt by the Palestinians to call for or to step up their moves for an independent state, under the pretext that there are security issues that should be solved..."

150,000 Iran Missiles Awaiting Israel

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/212486.html

"Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi says Iran will teach Israel a good lesson if the entity tries to attack the Islamic Republic. 'The enemy must answer this question, if it attacks Iran, for how long a battle and losing how many of its warships and vessels has it prepareed itself?

Why is the Zionist regime making threats against Iran? How many missiles have they prepared themselves for?'

The United States and Israel have repeatedly threatened Tehran with the 'option' of a military strike, based on the allegation that Iran's nuclear work may consist of a covert military agenda.

Iran has refuted the allegation, saying that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear-technology for peaceful purposes.

While Israel refuses to allow inspections of its nuclear facilities or to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty based on its policy of nuclear ambiguity, Iran has been subjected to snap International Atomic Energy inspections due to its policy of nuclear transparency.

Israel recently tested a new long-range missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

Paradoxically, Israel's new nuke-capable missile which can target many parts of the globe, is not considered a threat in the eyes of the West."

it sure is in these ones...

'Israel Demonizes Iran to Hide Crimes'

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/224154.html

"...Haaretz said Netanyahu knows his refusal to present a map based on the June 1967 borders and a realistic land-swap proposal is a recipe for a continued freeze in the negotiations. As a result, the article went on, 'Netanyahu has turned the Iranian nuclear threat into an impressive ploy to distract attention from settlement policy and the perpetuation of the occupation..'

The report added that US President Barack Obama's preoccupation with the presidential elections and Obama's fear of the Jewish right has helped Netanyahu in this regard.

'the death certificate of negotiations based on the two-state solution is a badge of shame for Israeli society. It's hard to understand how a society that has so impressively brought social justice to the top of the agenda has fallen victim to our nationalist-religious leaders' criminal ploy and the irresponsible opposition's helplessness,' Haaretz concluded..."
