A friend, with good sources in the Israeli government, claims that the head of Israel’s Mossad has made several trips to deal with his counterparts in Saudi Arabia—one of the results: an agreement that the Saudis would bankroll the series of assassinations of several of Iran’s top nuclear experts that have occurred over the past couple of years. The amount involved, my friend claims, was $1 billion dollars. A sum, he says, the Saudis considered cheap for the damage done to Iran’s nuclear program.

At first blush, the tale sounds preposterous. On the other
hand. it makes eminent sense. The murky swamp of Middle East politics has
nothing to do with the easy slogans and 30 second sound bites of presidential
debates.
After all, nowhere more than in the Middle East does the
maxim hold true: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And both Israel and the
Saudis have always detested Iran’s Shiite fundamentalist leaders. The feeling
is mutual. Tehran has long been accused of stirring up trouble among Saudi’s
restless Shiites.
Israeli and Saudi leaders particularly fear Iran’s attempts
to develop nuclear weapons. Thus, it would only be natural that (along with the
U.S.) they would back a coordinated program to at least slow up, if not permanently
cripple, Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
It also makes perfect sense, that, in retaliation for the
cyber attacks on their
centrifuges, the Iranians reportedly launched their own cyber attack on
a Saudi state-owned target: Saudi Aramco, the world’s most valuable
company. Last August 15th,
someone with privileged access to Aramco’s computers was able to unleash a
virus that wreaked havoc with the company’s systems. U.S.
intelligence experts point their finger at Tehran.
Indeed, a report earlier this year
by Tel Aviv University cites Saudi Arabia as the
last hope and defense line for Israel. With most of Israel’s traditional allies in the region sent packing or undermined by the Arab Spring, the Saudis are the Jewish State’s last chance to protect its political interests in the Arab world.

Strange bedfellows.

not bad joan...b
ReplyDeleteAll makes sense except the statement that Saudi and Israeli fear stems from Iran's development of nuclear weapons. What is the proof when IAEA and CIA have not reached that conclusion?
ReplyDeleteas a Muslim, I know the hate between Saudi Arabia and Iran. It made perfect sense to me.
ReplyDeleteSaudi Arabia is destroying but everyone thinks its building.
This would explain why Israel turns a blind eye to the Saudi's funding of Hamas and other anti-Israel orgs, and continues implementing Saudi Arabia's "peace" plan, which requires making huge areas of Israel free of Jewish presence.
ReplyDeleteThis blog getting a lot of attention in Saudi Arabia. Appreciate if anyone reading it with knowledge of other Saudi Israeli cooperation would let me know at barrylando@gmail.com. Thanks
ReplyDelete"a friend", "good source" do not make authentic reporting. I would like to believe the news above, but excuse me, I think $1b is too much to be paid for such operations even by Saudis.
ReplyDeleteWhy? The Saudi Royal Family is rumored to have over $4 trillion in Switzerland. A billion dollars is nothing to them.

ReplyDelete'Ashtar Al Iraqiyya: I'll take Barry Lando's "a friend with good sources" any day over what passes for Middle East coverage by today's U.S. networks and news agencies!
ReplyDeleteI am Mariam used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Olalude Abija); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
ReplyDeletefor free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as oduakar1@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
more.
