US And Israel Quietly Provide Military Support And Parts To Iran, Which In Turn Is Arming Syria
Before the Ukraine, there was Syria. Before Syria, there was Iran. For over 30 years, Iran was the perpetual strawman of every attempt to escalate hostilities in the middle east. One only needs to recall that the original "red line" was not Obama's but that of Israel's PM Netanyahu referring to Iran's nuclear program (which most likely was under the control of Stuxnet, and thus the NSA, more than it was Iran's to begin with).
What is surprising in recent months, is how quickly in the aftermath of the Syrian failed escalation script from last summer, Iran quickly dropped off the axis of America's worst enemies, and from the biggest bogeyman, has rapidly become a nation with which the US is eager to resume diplomatic and trade relations. Sure, Israel pretended to be angry about Iran's ascent in the ranks of US foreign allies-to-be, and issued a few angry press releases, but that's all it was - posturing, fit only for the front page of tabloids. It is what was happening behind the scenes that is noteworthy.
And what is happening behind the scenes is the same thing that happens every time the US (or Israel, or any other western nations) finds a surprising new ally: said ally proceeds to purchase military equipment from the US (or other western nations), using loans from the US (or other western nation banks).
Enter bizarre twist #1 - US companies selling military parts to none other than the formerly country non grata (at least until mid-2013): Iran. Reuters reports:
U.S. aerospace companies are seeking permission to sell airliner parts to Iran for the first time in three decades, in a key test of the temporary relief on sanctions given under talks to curtail Iran's nuclear activities.
At least two leading manufacturers, Boeing and engine maker General Electric, have applied for export licenses in a six-month window agreed by Iran and six world powers in November, industry officials and other sources familiar with the matter said.
If approved, the sales would be the first acknowledged dealings between U.S. aerospace companies and Iran since the 1979 U.S. hostage crisis led to sanctions that were later broadened during the dispute over Iran's nuclear activities.
A source familiar with the matter said that Boeing, the world's biggest manufacturer of passenger jets, had also filed a request for permission to export parts to Iran.
Boeing declined to comment, referring questions to the U.S. State Department, which in turn referred queries to the U.S. Treasury. A spokeswoman for the Treasury Department, which enforces international sanctions, declined to comment on specific license requests or applications.
Enter bizarre twist # 2 - "GE is doing it for the kids."
A GE spokesman said his company had been asking since 2004 for permission to provide parts and maintenance for engines for safety reasons, without profiting from the scheme. GE, the world's largest maker of jet engines by sales, refiled its request after the sanctions relief came into force, he added.
"We don't want to make a penny on it. It's entirely for flight safety," Rick Kennedy said, adding that GE would donate any proceeds to charity.
But of course, because when one thinks suing the US to get tax refunds corporate generosity (if not bailouts), one thinks GE.
Enter bizarre twist # 3 - it is not only the US that is seeking to promptly capitalize on this "temporary" elimination of Iran sanctions. It is Iran's perpetual nemesis, Israel, that is not only planning to supply weapons to Iran, but is already doing so. However, unlike the US which at least has clumsily stumbled upon a detente whose only purpose is logically to get Iran to buy Made in America weapons, with Israel the hypocrisy takes on a whole new meaning. Quote the Telegraph:
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, called for increased pressure on Iran to force it to abandon a programme that Israel regards as a front for building an atomic bomb and a threat to its existence.
Visiting the Golan Heights on Tuesday, he accused Iran of “arming those who are carrying out the slaughter” in neighbouring Syria. "I would like to tell the world, today, as the talks between the major powers and Iran are being resumed, that Iran has changed neither its aggressive policy nor its brutal character. Iran is continuing to support the Assad regime, which is slaughtering its own people,” Mr Netanyahu said.
And this is where it gets embarrassing for Bibi: it was Israel that was arming Iran.
[A] court in Athens has told The Telegraph that parts appearing on an American list of forbidden military-grade materials had been shipped from Israel on two occasions, apparently destined for Iran.
The seized items comprised spare parts for military aircraft: a constant speed drive designed for the F-4 Phantom jet, and a voltage output sensor used in the F-14 Tomcat. The parts were confiscated by Greece’s financial crimes squad and were being sent to the US for investigation, court officials said.
...
Israeli arms dealers twice tried to send spare parts for fighter planes to Iran, The Telegraph has established, flouting an international arms embargo and openly contradicting the bitter enmity between the Jewish state and the Islamic regime.
The illegal shipments are now being investigated by the US Homeland Security Department after they were intercepted by authorities in Greece.
...
The shipments - one in Dec 2012 and the other last April - were sent by courier from the Israeli town of Binyamina-Givat Ada, near Haifa, via a company in Greece, the newspaper reported. The firm was later established to be a ghost company. Its contact number was said to belong to a British national in the Greek city of Thessaloniki, who could not be traced.
Was Mossad involved? But of course.
A blogger, Richard Silverstein pointed the finger at two possible culprits who he said were well-known arms dealers living in Binyamina-Givat Ada. The pair had come to the attention of Israeli and US authorities on suspicion of violating the arms embargo on Iran in the past, Silverstein wrote, but had never been charged or prosecuted. “There can be no doubt that they are colluding with Israeli intelligence,” he added.
For those who are not convinced, "The defence and foreign ministries in Israel declined to comment on the seizures, which were first revealed by Kathimerini, a Greek newspaper. "
Finally, tying it all together, is another report from Reuters. in which we learn that "as Syria's war nears the start of its fourth year, Iran has stepped up support on the ground for President Bashar al-Assad, providing elite teams to gather intelligence and train troops, sources with knowledge of military movements say."
This further backing from Tehran, along with deliveries of munitions and equipment from Moscow, is helping to keep Assad in power at a time when neither his own forces nor opposition fighters have a decisive edge on the battlefield.
Assad's forces have failed to capitalize fully on advances they made last summer with the help of Iran, his major backer in the region, and the Hezbollah fighters that Tehran backs and which have provided important battlefield support for Assad.
But the Syrian leader has drawn comfort from the withdrawal of the threat of U.S. bombing raids following a deal under which he has agreed to give up his chemical weapons.
Shi'te Iran has already spent billions of dollars propping up Assad in what has turned into a sectarian proxy war with Sunni Arab states. And while the presence of Iranian military personnel in Syria is not new, military experts believe Tehran has in recent months sent in more specialists to enable Assad to outlast his enemies at home and abroad.

To summarize: in an act of complete disregard for the official diplomatic song and dance, both Israel and the US are now providing military support to Iran, which in turn is providing military support to Syria, which is also getting military support from Russia. And now, just to make things more interesting, the same labyrinth of "military support" is about to be unleashed in the Ukraine, whose western half is just as likely getting arms and military equipment (not to mention funding)from the West under the table, while Russia, whose main Black Sea port is in the Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, is arming the Eastern part of the Ukraine.
What can possibly go wrong?

WTF...
I'm rooting for Russia and I'm a U.S. native.
The grass is always greener but I am so sick of Wall Street and Washington.
p.s. - GE sucks. Their appliances suck ass, and as a corporation they suck tapeworm style. Fuck GE.
you and a bunch of others on here. the usa is totally corrupt but jesus h christ putin ain't the answer. pull your heads out people.
>> putin ain't the answer.
True Dat!! It's a fuckin' shame the chances of straightening out our system are slim to none as the other alternatives are dreadful indeed.
buzz and bearded one, yes, Putin is a thug and has no love for those here at ZH who love him. Unfortunately, what we have is not much better.
almost as if the satanic leadership of the world shadow government wants a WWIII/nuclear holocost....
After a weekend of ZH Red Team red meat, can someone remind me which political party in the U.S. is against this shit? Red or Blue?
Fuck the MIC, the alphabet soup agencies and both the red and blue teams.
My money says that you will not want to be an opposition person in Kiev when Vlad and company executes the plan that is likely completed by now and visits the city in a week or two.
Didn't Col. Ollie North get hauled in before Congress and investigated for making illegal arms sales to Iran, and then the money was funnel to Nicaraugua to support the Contra's who were fihting the Sandanistas? Who'll get hauled before Congress this time? Obama?
Not likely at all... the Reagan wrecking crew was not beloved by the MSM like the Magic Negro Messiah and his holy host of angelic functionaries.
Word up there......worship and destruction is a dangerous cocktail.
Holder's supplying dug cartels in Mexico with guns, money, and support was met with weak reporting and barely a wrist slap. Its truly disgusting how the MSM panders to this administration.
A lot of us wish but, no. O/T but not - anyone else watched N-fuck's "House of Cards"? I gave up on the Tee-Vee a long time ago but had a sick urge to watch the new political drama just to take a pulse. Lots of money getting thrown at this bitch. Paints D.C. and Big Corp as the rabid sociopaths that they are but the prez is mostly a naive, medicated, semi-good guy that's got the rest of D.C. undermining him most of the time.
On a positive note - They use a fair amount of multi-syllabic words and don't speak slowly and a lot of people are watching it so, maybe, USA isn't as dumb as I thought.
Just think of House Whip, Frank Underwood as Senate Majority Leader, LBJ.
Substitute all the back stabbing and bullshit political intrigue with the "Magic Bullet" that got JFK.
Get out of the Hollywood NetFucks TV shit box and spend a few hours learning some actual history.

And yes! ... LBJ gets to be president.
This article is Dumb. The US is selling airliner parts. Israel is selling old military parts with one hand but informing the Greek customs officials with the other. Result? Israel gets money, Iran gets nada.
Most clearest explanation yet - ignore the article, read your comment is enough.
When money is your god, corruption is your religion.
That's obvious, Double Penetration. I was talking about current semiotics.
Muddy1,
I believe that Ollie was put on the stand to tell the american people,
"Fuck you---we are running things!"
And then the american people put their heads down and said,
"That's OK, but, PLEASE, don't forget to call us for dinner."
And that is when I decided to live elsewhere----the best decision of my life.
Good luck to you, PATRIOTS
But I'll wait until you are in the streets before I have any hope for the USA

"It's a fuckin' shame the chances of straightening out our system are slim to none as the other alternatives are dreadful indeed."
Yes, a shame that none of those 400 million guns in private hands will be used for their 2nd amendment purpose of stopping govt tyranny, leaving that job to China and Russia mostly.
As the US govt gets more blatantly corrupt and tyrannical, those 400 million guns and their gutless coward owners are becoming the laughing stock of the world now. It's getting real embarrassing.
With actions like these, I am very surprised that gold is not through the roof
At least in Russia you know you're under a dictatorship. The scary part of the US is a large part of our population still thinks it lives in a free nation.
I think you miss the point. Putin took affirmative actions to resist and expunge the influence of the oligarchs who had robbed Russia of much, even most of its wealth, under Yeltsin. This doesn't mean he is corruption free, or purely in it for altruistic reasons, but he was the leader the Russian people needed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2Cl8lSv9Is
What the US has is politicians who have sold them out to the international banks, led them into needless wars based on outright fabricated lies, and, oh yeah, has sucked the cock of the Israel lobby at every turn - to the extent of cutting veterans benefits the same week as they approved new loans and other goodies to that shitty little country.
If the ball-washing and fanboyism get a little over the top, bear in mind that the overwhelming majority of the coverage in the mainstream media has been Putin and Russia-bashing for years, and with the Olympics, I'd argue it has gotten shrill and over the top. Pussy Riot didn't deserve the attention it got, and the coverage was so massive and coordinated the whole thing smells like a State Department stunt.
While you're telling people to "pull their heads out" - you might do the same, you vacuous cunt - Putin is far from perfect but has been significantly better for the Russian people than American leaders have been for Americans.
And the negative press really accelerated only after Putin went after the oligarchs. And if Putin is a thug, sometimes it takes a thug to deal with thugs, and the oligarchs were thugs, many deeply in bed with the "Russian" mafia which is "Russian" in the same way the majority of the oligarchs were.
In fact, while you're going to school, read up on the Russian mob - still very powerful in Russia. And in New York City. And Israel.
Young people I talked to on my last trip to Russia love Putin. It is the older folks who hated him for their Russia is no long communist and they lost out.
In relative terms, yes, he could be.
GE - We bring good things to life
They say they'll donate the proceeds to charity. It's about safety, they say.
No word yet on the US taxes they don't pay.
What a whorehouse.
What exactly is wrong with what they're doing??
Do you overpay on your taxes? Why not?
Do you think GE shouldn't try to pay as little as is legally possible in taxes?
Do you think Iran should have been denied parts for civilian airliners?
Do you think that the U.S. should shoot down some more Iranian civilian airliners, as the USS Vincennes did in 1988?
"Do you overpay on your taxes? Why not? Do you think GE shouldn't try to pay as little as is legally possible in taxes?"
Unlike GE I don't have lobbyists writing the corp/tax law, much less my own. If memory serves they didn't pay shit.
"Do you think Iran should have been denied parts for civilian airliners?"
No. I have no problem at all with Iran, only hypocrisy.
"Do you think that the U.S. should shoot down some more Iranian civilian airliners, as the USS Vincennes did in 1988?"
I think that was one of many US crimes against humanity.
wow. junkapalooza.
fair questions, Mr. Harrison... which are often the least popular.
No, they're the comment-section equivalent of an MSM opinion poll.
Precisely.
Fuck the U.S. corporate hegemony to Hell.
Those two-faced .gov bribing fucks make Stalin look like a Saint.
I think GE should be liquidated to pay for Fukushima cleanup. But don't stop there, use the off shore and shell company assets, as well as the shareholders and executives personal money and property, to decommission all the plutonium nuke plants they designed.

iran has had the bomb for years now. it was never about that. it's always been about oil and the petro dollar. the saudi arabia thing was good while it lasted, but their wells are in decline while iran is in their prime. they have a much brighter future, and the US wants and needs to be a part of it.
look for the demonizing of saudia arabia and the fence-mending that happens with iran in the near future. the only question is: what have we left to offer the evil iranians?
Miley Cyrus twerking on a pole...
I'd fuck a pile of rocks if I thought there was a snake in it but miley......... ....... notsomuch
No - they haven't. The nuclear issue is a ruse. Netanyahu has been claiming Iran was months away from the bomb for literally 20 years. The US government is largely captured by the pro-Israel lobby, as well as dual citizens. You may think this is over-stated, ut only if you haven't looked into it. Rahm Emanuel? Chertoff? Look at Obama's appointments [irs, treasury, state, the fed, omb, fdic, cftc...and on and on and on}. Read up on the neocons and the Oded Yinon line of plans - the "new pearl harbor" grew out of that kind of extreme right wing Zionist thinking.
Did you not notice how the neocons were cheerleading us into an Iraq war even though bin Laden was still on the run in Afghanistan and we didn't commit nearly enough troops or hardware to chase him? Did you not notice how most of the neocons were Jewish - and a near total lack of discussion of that fact, and, when it was rarely broached, it was smeared as "anti-semitics"?
Meaning the truth can be antisemitic????? Clearly, not - that doesn't makes any logical sense. It means smply that 'antisemitism' is mostly used a shock label used to get you to stop noticing wildly disproportionate Jewish influence, and dual, even primarily loyalty to Israel.
And relax your anus - while most neocons were, without any doubt, Jewish, most Jews are not neocons. Which makes it worse - a minority, of a minority, had an enormous pulpit in US media, and think tanks, and the government, including the Pentagon - where they worked with Israel to fabricate evidence to lie us into a war on Iraq - for Israel, not for wmds.
Strategically, the US should be trading with Iran in exchange for Iran pricing its oil in dollars. It should be selling Iran weapons. It should even, as required by the NPT, be helping Iran with its civilian nuclear energy program {also a great way to make sure its on the up and up}
But it hasn't done that - why do you think the US has made foreign policy decisions that are not in its strategic interest?
Jewish influence in the government and donations and lobby groups really have very largely warped US foreign policy to align it with the perceived interests of Israel. The evidence for this is absolutely overwhelming, and attested to, in private, by many in Washington. If you haven't read "The Israel Lobby" start there. Then read "Goliath".
Some people without thinking turn off discussion of Jewish, or Zionist, or pro-Israel influence. Don't do that. It's not a consiracy theory, it's not "hate" - it enjoys tremendous, even frightening amounts of influence. And it's imporant to speak candidly about both from a pro-American and anti-war perspective.
This is all apart from the fact the MIC and international banks would love a war, would love to be able to install a private central bank and to give the Iranians conditioned loans. The question is to what extent Europe's largely Jewish banking dynasties are cooperating with the Jewish state. I don't know, but I can't imagine there is no coordination. And if and to the extent true, they would be allied with arms manufacturers.
Frankly, Obama might actually deserve much more credit than the public is aware for pushing back against Netanyahu and his sayanim and the assorted Israel Firsters in the government and media.
Iran does not have nukes. Netanyahu lied about Iraq. He lied for 20 years about Iran being close to the bomb.
Israel and its 5th column in the US wants to eliminate a regional rival to Israel using American blood and treasure, so that Israel can bomb and invade and ethnically cleanse its neighbors without any resistance. Lebanon to the Litani, the West Bank, and possibly the Sinai and more of sw Syria in the future.
Wake the fuck up.
Some good news from Israel for a change:
The kid who murdered his goyim friend, chopped him up and then fled to Israel is finally dead.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/23/maryland-teen-killer-gun...
A Maryland man serving a prison sentence in Israel for a horrific murder he committed as a teen in Aspen Hill was gunned down Sunday by police special forces after he stole a gun and shot three guards.
Samuel Sheinbein, 34, who killed and dismembered a friend in 1997 before fleeing to Israel with the aid of his father, was fatally shot after counter-terrorism units stormed the prison area in which he had barricaded himself after the attack, according to published reports.
His death closes a chapter that began nearly 17 years ago in Montgomery County with a gruesome killing.
Sheinbein and a friend, Aaron Benjamin Needle, in September 1997 choked 19-year-old Alfredo Enrique Tello Jr. with a rope, set his body on fire and then sawed off his arms and legs in what then-Montgomery County State’s Attorney Douglas F. Gansler called a “thrill kill.”

it wouldn't surprise me to find that israel sold nuclear technology, support, or materials to iran. anything for a buck. those bastards would pimp their own mother then condemn mother pimping in the msm. big brass ballz. iran is six months from having the bomb. how do we know so precisely? none yo bidness.
those parts have electronics that israel can control from afar with electronics. Much like electronic voting !
you antisemite! you probably think Netanyahu has been building nukes with material and tech he stole from the United States, too. Hitler! Hitler!

Are you implying there is a race of humans who won't, if given the chance?
Did I mention they were human?
There's no way Russia will give up the Crimean. History has not been kind to Russia - hence the need for buffer states such as Ukraine and the former Eastern bloc states. North Americans don't understand it because it's "over there" and our borders and population haven't been consistently slaughtered since our inception as a nation.
It's no longer the Mongol Invasion era. Hordes of lunatics on horseback no longer have free rein to ride across the steppes and behead random villagers. Russia can defend its borders without any need for buffer zones, if it will just quit attacking its neighbors to create buffer zones.
Aggressors always have a legitimate excuse to invade and kill, because they are the real victims.
you sheer, not slaughter. if you slaughter, the rest smell the blood and get riled.

Well here we are.
Each day it seems is a new level of outrage on my part.
Tyler(s), for fuck's sake already, stop repeating the belittling and implicitly pro-Russian terminology of "the Ukraine".
It is properly "Ukraine". No "the". We don't say "the England" or "the Germany" or "the Mexico", so why say it here?
But I suspect you already know that, but consciously continue using this terminology for reasons of your own.
"THE Ukraine" is similar to "THE Bronx"
You wouldn't say "I'm from Bronx."
Very poor analogy, as Ukraine is an independent nation (at least for now), not a mere section of a city.
Again, why "the"? Do you talk about "the Russia" too?
You're dealing with English, which is a whore of a language, and shit doesn't always make sense. I often slip into calling it the Ukraine because that is what I have heard so very often that it is simply a reflex. Properly, yes, you talk about Ukraine rather than the Ukraine, but it takes time to re-write that shit in my brain.
Calling it "The" Russia could be fun though.
I was actually joking above.
I'm from Ukraine
I'm from the Ukraine
What do people from Ukraine/the Ukraine call themselves?
not weak. that seems to be how they describe themselves.

I call the Ukraine, ONE OF OBAMAS NEWLY CREATED REVOLUTIONS!

I once asked a functionary at the local library where the "non-fiction, fiction" section was. She was puzzled, and more so when I told her that 1984, Brave New World, Atlas Shrugged, etc. would be found there. Would have been funny, but she didn't even know of these books. Oh well.
"If you can't educate 'em, leave 'em thinking."
EVIL THE LOWEST FORM OF ANY LIVING THING.
And the Jew wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round on the 'Murrican axles. Eisenhower wasn't a fucking idiot. His administration was instructed to create Israel. It was the greatest mistake/decision as it was the military industrials that knew perpetual conlifct was the greatest profit guarantee.
Uh, no, Truman recognized Israel in 1948.
Is this Iran-Contra redux? Giving weapons to Iran and helping out rebels? I smell weapon contractors making money just like last time.

If this is true, then there are likely segments of the Israeli and US governments that favor one side or the other. Or maybe both would just prefer to keep the fight even and, therefore, ongoing. Or maybe they just changed their minds after Morsi called for Islamic Jihad against Syria.
Next you guys are gonna be telling me that Vladimir Putin is really an undercover Mossad agent...
Just another Tyler anti semitic article. Upon inspection the story "facts" are factually inaccurate, the story line a composition of selective facts riddled with revisionist history. Connected together by an imagination so infested with hate that it's credibility is of a Ku Klax clan member preaching racial harmony in a Harlem church.
So, how exactly are passenger jet parts "military support"?
Am I the only one catching a potent whiff of bovine excrement from this story? There clearly seems to be some deliberate conflation going on here.
Bizarre twist #1
Boeing and General Electric haven't sold parts to Iran for 35 years. They are asking permission to sell airliner parts to Iran in a six-month window agreed to by Iran and six world powers in November.
Now let's re-read the Headline-
US And Israel Quietly Provide Military Support And Parts To Iran, Which In Turn Is Arming Syria
There is clear conflation with "Military Support And Parts". They are two different things, yet they are joined in the same phrase. That is no accident. One is dependent on the other. If the US supplied "military parts" that would imply "military support".
Are the "parts" in question "military"? Of course not, they are for ancient airliners, but by joining them one obfuscates the terms and can easily deceive the reader into thinking they are "military parts".
There is a clear ommission in the "military support" category also. Absolutely nothing in any of this article or the ones cited shows that the US is providing "military support". For that matter, nothing in the articles shows that the US is providing "military parts".
Oh yeah, there is also the blatant and completely unproven implication that all these "military support and parts" the US and Israel are "quietly providing" Iran are going to Syria.
bizarre twist # 2 - "GE is doing it for the kids."
Since the US Supreme Court established the unbelievable concept of "Corporate Personhood", it is fair to say that GE is an evil, asshole, piece of shit. I would probably have no problem with any insult hurled toward this "person".
However, we have to ask ourselves: what exactly is "it" that GE is doing for the kids? They are just guilty of being a despicable entity, but that does not mean that they are providing "military support" or selling "military parts". Nothing presented substantiates that.
Enter bizarre twist # 3 - "it is not only the US that is seeking to promptly capitalize on this "temporary" elimination of Iran sanctions. It is Iran's perpetual nemesis, Israel, that is not only planning to supply weapons to Iran, but is already doing so. However, unlike the US which at least has clumsily stumbled upon a detente whose only purpose is logically to get Iran to buy Made in America weapons, with Israel the hypocrisy takes on a whole new meaning."
Deliberate conflation and obfuscation all around here.
"Israel, is not only planning to supply weapons to Iran, but is already doing so"-
Selling spare parts to a weapons system that someone already owns is not exactly "selling weapons". You are merely profiting from the sale and helping that nation maintain a weapons system they already have.
Anyway, if the story is to be believed, it is not Israel per se that is providing spare F4 pterodactyl parts. Allegedly, it is two Israeli arms dealers, Avichai Weinstein and Eli Cohen.
If we read every other source report they only mention spare parts for the F4 Phantom. The UK Telegraph added the F14 Tomcat to it. By the way, the Phantom is a late 1950s fighter jet. The models that Iran have are vintage 1968. They are the only country in the world that still fly those pterodactyls.
The source for this allegation is a dubious one. His name is Richard Silverstein, a Jew who writes a blog from Seattle and fancies himself an intelligence insider. He is not shy about playing fast and loose with facts and giving free rein to speculation. He has passed bad beef before and has been proven wrong many times. He could be a Mossad stooge for all I know.
From his blog-
http://www.richardsilverstein.com/
Anyway, the parts in question are "a constant speed drive designed for the F-4 Phantom jet, and a voltage output sensor used in the F-14 Tomcat."
This doesn't pass the smell test. A constant speed drive is merely a mechanical gearbox that takes an input shaft rotating at a variable range of speed, and converts to an output shaft that rotates at a constant speed They are used to drive mechanisms, typically electrical generators that require a constant input speed.
This is hardly hi-tech. As a matter of fact, it is decidedly low-tech and the Iranians can easily manufacture this part. Hell, even a high school kid can build one for his science fair project.
The second one is a "voltage output sensor used in the F-14 Tomcat". Really? a voltage output sensor? This is also decidedly low-tech and the Iranians can easily manufacture this part. BTW, the Iranian F-14s are first-generation vintage 1973 export versions that did not have all the best features. They only have about 19 or less left, and it is unknown how many actually fly. Yes, they are also the only country in the entire world that still fly F-14 pterodactyls.
I have written more than I intended. In the interest of brevity I will just mention a couple more allegations in the deceitful UK Telegraph article that are obfuscations and conflations.
The Mossad is behind this- may or may not be true, the problem is that they assume that is the case because "Israeli media carried only brief versions of the report, suggesting that the matter may be subject to the country’s strict military censorship"
See if this Israeli media report is censored- http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.575320
Silverstein the blogger flat-out states “There can be no doubt that they (arms dealers) are colluding with Israeli intelligence,”. His reasons for this certainty are in his blog and they are hilarious.
There is an obvious effort to not mention any quantities in the article. The deliberately slippery language of the article makes me almost certain that the two instances of "illegal shipments" were probably the shipping of one gearbox and the shipping of one sensor.
"parts appearing on an American list of forbidden military-grade materials had been shipped from Israel on two occasions, apparently destined for Iran"
"Israeli arms dealers twice tried to send spare parts for fighter planes to Iran"
"The seized items comprised spare parts for military aircraft: a constant speed drive designed for the F-4 Phantom jet, and a voltage output sensor used in the F-14 Tomcat"

Mr Big: "Yes, Smedley, but we are making money."
War is a bidness...and bidness is good!
Syria, Ukraine, Iran/Iraq and beyond Pak/Afghan; all part of the SAME geographical cum geopolitical FAULT line between imperial plays dividing Putinistan's fledgling Euroasian Empire and Pax Americana's floundering ME/Nato imperial legacy of post 1945 Yalta divide.
Yes, we are in troubled waters as BOTH these IMPERIAL plays are now under the gun of Financial cum MIC dystopian conundrums that ADD NOTHING to solving the world's problems; in fact quite the opposite.
The Reaganista/NWO corrupted legacy of financialized world now stares into the ABYSS Of Putinistan plays, of China's shadowbanking and RM stashing dysfunctionments; all the while Eurozone and Japan sink further into "print to infinity" desperation to save their economies from deflationary implosion.
Brave New World Indeed; when thieves fall out. Watch these empires now spiral down.
PS : What ZH posts here is the "head up ass" situation of both ISrael USA, who have now backed Salafist rebels in Syria (to please the ex Bandar Sultan's Saudian concocted stategy-- that guy has now been fired by King Saud), and are now desperately trying to counter the rise of Al Qaeda elements in that divided zone; all fed via Qatar sponsored/Libyan Benghazi Salafist pipeline post Q-daffy demise.
Iran which is seen to be cooperating with US on the nuclear freeze issue, now appears as the MODERATING influence of the ME scene in the new Obammy/Kerry strategy. And Bibi has to play along. After all its in his OWN interests that Iran reigns in the Hezbollah and rabid shia elements-- You may have noticed that the KEY Shia Mollah of Iraq , Muqtada Al-Sadr, who defied US invasion of GWB days and fed Shia resistance, has stepped down from political prominence. It just shows that Iran is toning down its ideological HYPE to win some more OIL affluence for its desperately stifled economy.
Do you see it yet? It's all about money and power. They're all working together. Divide and conquer bitchezz...
Woot.. There we go
"And now, just to make things more interesting, the same labyrinth of "military support" is about to be unleashed in the Ukraine, whose western half is just as likely getting arms and military equipment (not to mention funding)from the West under the table....."
I'm not sure it's even "under the table".
This article from the UK Daily Mail this morning:

The rank hypocrisy continues unabated.
GE,that wonderfull Company that sold Nuclear components to North Korea under Bill Clinton.SOSDD
President Obama is no longer picking the deck or assigning drone strikes on Americans "terrorists" overseas. The US is now supplying al CIAda terrorists with military hardware to attack an elected government in Syria. With drone strikes now "automated", as the head of the organization supplying terrorists, he could be targeted by a drone strike by his own orders once he leaves the country.
Obama's headless foreign policy of nonsense rages on. I am pretty sure trying to start a war with someone while giving them weapons is the hieght of stupidity, if not treason. DC needs to be gutted.
Bill Moyers and Guest Mike Lofgren, discuss the "Machine"... Those guys better look both ways before they cross a nail gun.

It's time.
Iran? Israel only sells US developed defense equipment and weapons technology to the highest bidder, and it is nothing new.

Money and politics do not mix well, but they do prove the paradox that the US Departments of State and Treasury do no have connecting telephones lines that are reliable. Probably due an economy measure that can only be understood as Congressional politics or someone has been bribed....again.
Why not consider a major change of strategy on the part of the US? Let's update the chessboard layout...
same day Hagel announces massive DoD cuts? lets see how far that goes...
bigger picture. aforementioned DoD cuts, well documented pipes thru Ukraine, largest world oil/gas reserves: Venezuela/Iran. Add UN sanctions on Young Un (wtf? Chinese blessed this?)
am i dreaming or 'not good but not bad' Putin gets Ukraine, Venezuela er, we get pro biz (read pro Oil) govt., Israel makes a fortune on Iran (google Iran-Iraq war profiteers and skip the CIA part but read the Sharon parts) and Assad goes.
the question to me is, has China gotten that fed-up w/ NK? do they get those islands out of this? Japan is on her knees but this won't fly. it must be China/Russia worked out a better ESPO deal or something. BP must be in here somewhere
in sum,
DOD no cuts WIN
Russia gets Ukraine WIN
Venezuela we get WIN
Israel gets $$$arms deals WIN
China (not Japan) gets Siberian oil WIN
Korea gets unified WIN (everyone is sick of this wack job and his cronies)
Same policy our corporate/govt interests followed in the early years of the Reich... and after if you remember Prescott Bush and friends.... charged and convicted, yet there to put Ike in office just a little while later.
