How Israel Saved Iran

Did you know:

The Iran-Iraq war began on September 22 1980 with an attack by the Iraqi Army on Iran. Iran’s army was devastated by the initial attack. But how did Iran survive the onslaught of Saddam Hussein’s Army? Surprisingly, Israel saved Iran from the onslaught of Saddam Hussein.

Since 1949, when Iran was the first Arab country to recognize the Jewish state, there has been a thriving trade between Israel and Iran. At first the trade was based on everyday items for oil, which was banned for sale to Israel by Arab counties. In 1975 Israel began selling weapons to Iran. Several joint programs were created between Israel and Iran. The programs included a missile creation program and a tank creation program.

In 1979 the tables turned on Israel. The Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the monarchy of the Iranian Shah (a friend of Israel) and established a fundamentalist and radical government. The new government immediately denounced Israel naming it “The Little Satan”. The radical government boycotted all of western civilization. However, soon Israel would save Iran again.

In 1981 the Iraqi army opened a surprise attack on the Iranian border. Iranian forces were devastated by the initial strike. However, two years later all of the territory captured by Iraq was recaptured by Iran. How is such a turn of events possible? Israel saved Iran with constant arm shipments from Tel-Aviv to Teheran. In 1981, when the Iranian army was in ruins, several Iranian Jews working in the Israel Ministry of Defense began setting up arm sales to Iran. The sales included TOW anti-tank missiles, Hawk anti-aircraft missiles, F-14 spare parts, Centurion Tank spare parts, and huge amounts of ammunition for all types of weapons in exchange for oil. The sales totaled in 5 billion American dollars worth of weapons. These weapons however would have never saved Iran if Iraq’s nuclear reactor remained. The biggest assistance given by Israel to Iran is Operation Opera, when 16 Israeli Fighter bombers wiped Iraq’s Osrik nuclear reactor off the face of the earth. This move saved Iran from nuclear holocaust.

Today Iran may despise and threaten Israel, but Iran owes Israel its very existence. Israel saved Iran from the wrath of Saddam Hussein’s army with its arm shipments. Without the “Little Satan” Iran would be in rubbles.

  • When a foreign nation's leader says they are going to remove you from the map, you should pay close attention. In the case of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the rhetoric has plenty of action behind it. Iran is publicly known to provide hundreds of millions of dollars to Hezbollah whose task is to destabilize if not destroy Lebanon, and of course create weekly if not daily havoc in Israel. The network of terrorism support doesn't stop there and Iran is clearly one of the most destabilizing forces in the Middle East. With its reluctant but equally active friend Syria, the Middle East is in turmoil.

      Again, where is your proof of this "hundres of millions"? Trustworthy Fox News? CNN? Rent the documentary "Weapons of Mass Deception" to gain the slightest clue on how the media works. I am obviously debating with a uneducated kid here so I will stop with this last post, I have proved that you are nothing but a fanatic JEW who has no brain of his own and will spew any and all shit to make Israel look better. The whole world was disgusted in seeing how Israel treated the Gaza situation but somehow this shitty little country thinks they were justified in killing innocent civilians by the hundreds. If you ask me, you and your lousy ancestors deserve every last Shahab 6 landing on your homes and schools for the kind of atrocities committed in Gaza. It doesn't really matter what I think though, that mini-war has re-fueled plenty of fanaticism and Israel will end up paying for it one way or another. Oh yeah, nice job in getting those rockets to stop falling, that did the trick. LOL. Peace out Jew boy, enjoy living in fear because Iran WILL get the bomb and Israel CAN'T do a damn thing about it and you know I'm right.

    This is the trend my little jewish friend, while shit is blowing up and violence rages out of control in the middle east there is one country that is living in peace and not bothering anybody. And don't give me the typical Jewish bullshit that Iran is the cause of it all. One day Israel will learn that the military is not the answer to every problem. If they don't I am sure a certain country, if provoked, will make sure they learn that lesson very well. It's scared little bitches like you that have knee jerk reactions to the Ayotollahs exaggerated remarks that make the entire region unstable. Words don't start wars, actions do.

    Israel obliged, as in "yes sir, how high do you want me to jump sir" as usual. Get your facts straight and quit spewing your shit, Iran will pound Israel in a way they have never been pounded before and Israel knows it which is why they do not have nor will ever have the nerve to attack Iran unilaterally. The puppet state was DENIED permission by the US to attack last year and since then they have taken up a "war" against the people of Gaza that have no real army or defense.

    Real f'n brave.

    • It is unbelievable and stunning how, a high degree of fanaticism, ignorance and belligerence can make a beautiful country with a beautiful people such as Iran so miserable, irrelevant and trashy !
      And by the way: It`s useless to talk to you. You feel well the way you are. If you don`t change you shouldn't wonder if others will get angry with you and your ignorance!

      • NotAJew

        Now that you've been corrected you have nothing else to resort to but name calling and generalizing a whole country's population. Figures, you sounded like an idiot from your very first post. You are as pathetic as the "army" Israel posesses who can't even defeat a minor miitia like Hezbollah but has the nerve to threaten Iran. Go ahead, I hope Israel does gather up the courage to attack so that they will get what they deserve after the atrocities in Gaza. Doubtful though, courage is easy to gather when standing behind big brother USA but when they say F'off you're on your own it has a tendency to disappear quick. Good luck with your peice of land the size of a small city in Iran, hope your chicken bunkers can hold up to a barrage of Shahab 6 missiles.

        • Ask yourself who is threatening to who? Israel certainly didn't threat to wipe Iran of the map!

            I wonder how Israel would feel if it were surrounded on all sides by countries in possession of nuclear weapons and committed to a "war on terror". At the rate the US was creating propoganda to justify invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and Iran square in the middle of them how would Israel feel in those shoes if it did not possess the same military capability as this country dedicated to a "war on terror"? Better yet, answer this. Why is it ok for Israel to have nuclear weapons and not Iran? Because Iran is such a dangerous and unstable country? Do me a favor and do a google search for this phrase: "suicide bomber in Iran" Do you see any results anywhere on the first page? Nope. Now interchange the word Iran with Israel, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, India, Yemen, Jordan, etc. Sucks to be liviing in these countries I would say. Do the same search for the two words war and Iran and interchange again.

          • Of course Iran as a sponsor of terrorism is not allowing any terror on it's own soil. They prefer to finace, train them and to send them to other countries to blow up.

          • NotaJew

            And where is your proof of this? CNN? Fox News? You are just another troll that believes everything you read in the "news" and see on TV.

    "Michael Ledeen, a consultant of National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, requested assistance from Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres for help in the sale of arms to Iran.[14] At the time, Iran was in the midst of the Iran–Iraq War and could find few Western nations willing to supply it with weapons.[15] The idea behind the plan was for Israel to ship weapons through an intermediary (identified as Manucher Ghorbanifar)[1] to a moderate, politically influential Iranian group opposed to the Ayatollah Khomeni;[16] after the transaction, the U.S. would reimburse Israel with the same weapons, while receiving monetary benefits. The Israeli government required that the sale of arms meet high level approval from the United States government, and when Robert McFarlane convinced them that the U.S. government approved the sale, Israel obliged by agreeing to sell the arms.[14]"

  • Upon its establishment in 1948 and until the Iranian Revolution in 1979 when the Pahlavi dynasty was overthrown, Israel enjoyed cordial relations with Iran. Israel viewed Iran as a natural ally due to its position as a non-Arab power on the edge of the Arab world, in accordance with Ben-Gurion's concept of an alliance of the periphery.

    declassified reports exist which show Israel supplying Iran with weapons during the Iran-Iraq war.[8]. Iran is said to have purchased weapons valued at $2.5 billion from Israel through third party intermediaries during the Iran-Iraq war during the 1980s and 1990s[9][10] which ultimately drew.

    Maybe I should have called it a Muslim state, but the rest is all history… real history!

      again, go read some more please…a simple wiki search will do, or are you deliberately trying to twist the story with this pro-Isreali bullshit? Israel was nothing (and is nothing) but America's puppet, it was the US who led this sale of arms to Iran and it was their idea from the very beginning, the US merely pulled the puppet Israeli strings and made it happen.

  • Not a biased Jew

    What kind pro-Israeli bullshit is this? Go read a book or two and find out the real history of events during the iran-iraq war. Sorry, but you lost all credibility with your "Since 1949, when Iran was the first Arab country to recognize the Jewish state" sentence. Iran is NOT an Arab country genius.
