Israel Deploys 3 Nuclear-Armed Subs Off Iran Coast; Iran Warns Of Forceful Response To "Evil Acts"
With tear-gas flying in the streets of Turkey, Ukraine's civil-war raging in the south and east, US drones based in Japan to oversee the South China Sea, and Europe's extremist parties gaining significant traction, today we get one more piece of considerably worrisome geopolitical news that global stock markets must ignore. The Sunday Times reports that Israel is to deploy three submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles in the Persian Gulf that are meant to act as a deterrent, gather intelligence and potentially to land Mossad agents. Iran is not happy, warning that "anyone who wishes to do an evil act in the Persian Gulf will receive a forceful response from us."
Israel is to deploy three submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles in the Persian Gulf, the Sunday Times reported on Sunday.
According to the Times report, one submarine had been sent over Israeli fears that ballistic missiles developed by Iran, and in the possession of Syria and Hezbollah, could be used to hit strategic sites within Israel, such as air bases and missile launchers.
Dolphin, Tekuma, and Leviathan, all German-made Dolphin class submarines of the 7th navy Flotilla, have been reported as frequenting the Gulf in the past, however, according to the Sunday Times report, this new deployment is meant to ensure a permanent naval presence near the Iranian coastline.
A flotilla officer told the Times that the deployed submarines were meant to act as a deterrent, gather intelligence and potentially to land Mossad agents.
"We're a solid base for collecting sensitive information, as we can stay for a long time in one place," the officer said.
The flotilla's commander, identified only as "Colonel O," was quoted by the Times as saying that the submarine force was "an underwater assault force. We’re operating deep and far, very far, from our borders."
The submarines could be used if Iran continues its program to produce a nuclear bomb. "The 1,500km range of the submarines’ cruise missiles can reach any target in Iran," a navy officer told the Times.
ran's response to this action was not too diplomatic...
Apparently responding to the reported Israeli activity, an Iranian admiral told the Times: "Anyone who wishes to do an evil act in the Persian Gulf will receive a forceful response from us."
Last July, defense sources reported that an Israeli submarine had sailed the Suez Canal to the Red Sea last month, describing the unusual maneuver as a show of strategic reach in the face of Iran.
We are sure this is nothing to worry about and that investors worldwide should BTFATH with both hands and feet...

Know one thing about me....if nothing else.
Never bow to me for I have no authority.....over you or anyone else.....and do not want the job.
Now we can talk.
I originally said "We are so fucked". Correct? I stated that for the fact that we have a lot of psychopaths moving the world to a conflagration on many fronts. I addressed no one in particular and kinda threw it out there outta frustration on things I do not control. I control my corner of the world and am pretty good at it. I do not know you guys. Ok? I wasn't really addressing anyone in particular. I have a newborn of a week old. I kinda stated it outta frustration. So downvote away, call me stupid. I'm just frustrated that I bring this beautiful soul into the world and all around there are evil people doing evil things and there is a lot of potential for people to get hurt. I come here to vent for the most part. Sometimes I say stuff like this not for votes either way, but to have a place to say it cuz I try to stay put together in my regular life. ZH is my catharsis.

Dude...I only made a snarky comment about you being new. If this conversation was a roundtable discussion at a bar...you would have seen me wink and smile at you when I said it.
I did not downvote you....why would I ?
I'm sorry you took it the wrong way....truly.....it was not my intention.
ZH is my catharsis of sorts as well. My snark and cynicism are my way of venting so I am not as much of a miserable asshole as I am already in the real world.
Congrats on the newborn. I have five.....ranging from 16 to 8. I feel the same way.
Hang on......let me find the post I made earlier to one of the contributors that has been archived. I think you will find we share a lot more in common than you would imagine.
Ok.....found it.
Unfortunately, my kids have all gone cold and hungry. After the Crash of 2008, I lost everything. I was not in the market. I was not flipping houses. Just collateral damage.
We all ended up in a pop-up camper in the woods for 8 months. Before that we were in a one room bungalow behind this guy's house for a year.
When we were in the camper....we experienced low temps in the teens during winter.....and in the summer as high as 95. One night a thunderstorm came through which nearly blew the camper over when a micro-burst hit. Trees and limbs snapping off all around us......me outside pushing on the camper trying to keep it from flipping. (I know, insane....but I WAS insane at that moment with fear). Nobody woke up, they were so exhausted from the heat of the day. I cleared a path until sunrise so they could get out of the camper and trudge over to my father-in-law's place to take a shower the next morning.
Thank God....we're out from that now. But as each of my children have become older.....old enough to start understanding a bit of the world....I remind them of where they were at.....and how the Powers That Be....the Elite....even with good intentions can and are paving the road to Hell. And I try to teach them how to prepare the best they can to deal with that kind of future.
The first thing is ......free your mind. Don't believe anything a government official tells you. Be wary of ALL authority, including mine and your mother's. We are often wrong....even though we mean well. Be respectful at all times.....but never fear asking questions.....including the best one of all. Why?
Love your neighbors as yourself. But understand in the end...you are all alone. God is with you.....but you live amongst the worst of his creations. It's not God's fault. Man is always culpable because Man chose this condition due to free will.
But you, my children, also have free will. So in that freedom....choose wisely. Choose to be better than me and mom. Choose to be better than the world. Choose freedom.....and reject bondage......including and most importantly....the chains of your own making.
And always know that I am always sorry....and sorrowful that I ever brought you into this world. But I can't even imagine how I could get by without you all in it. I love you very....very.....much. Please forgive me.
Upvoted.
Sometimes I just wanna grow one out there. Newborn had to fight a bit but is ok now. I've been a little emotional so I've stayed away.
No worries. And no matter you're religous proclivity......I thank God for your Newborn and his/her improved health and may it continue to be so.
Stay strong. Your kid is going to need you to be. And leave this place from time to time. It can be a bit of an echo chamber.....and a concentration room....in the sense that if ZH is good for anything....it's TOO good at highlighting EVERY SINGLE DAY just what an insane world it is.....and how rapidly its moving to some sort of calamity.
I'm begining to understand the pathos of the prophets of old. In a way....ZH gives up a look into the future....a murky type of prophecy. And for some.....like me....it can drive you to despair.
In fact.....I may be taking a break from ZH soon. Shit's hitting the fan at work....there's some personal family issues that are blooming. My soul is getting stretched thin.
Anyway......I'm not going to promise you that I'll be your ZeroHedge on call therapist.... ;) but....just know that I feel you man....you're not alone.
Peace.
nyet speak for yourself....
What's in your bunker?
Nothing.
No bunker.
I'm an open book. NSA knows where I'm at. You want to take me.....so what. Can't do anything about it.
They can imprison my body....they can't imprison my mind. I die in chains.....I pass through to the other side in freedom.
No need for a bunker.
And here I was just getting use to the start of summer and now a possibility of a nuclear winter...
Yes Sir...
Those Zionist Jew boyz and girlz in the seized land of Palestine are getting restless with each passing day their "host" collapses... Many a sleeples night for the CB team(s), JPM, Goldman Suchs, BP, Shell and Exxon/Mobil as the BRIICS start to accelerate the jettisoning from the "Casino"table!...
False Flag 'in the Hole'!...
Let us Pray!
Or perhaps if you are a Zionist and those Americans in the government and military who serve them with no questions asked...
Let Us "Prey"!!!
So what's your (final) solution to the question of the Jew?
J
If I had to guess the Zionist in occupied Palestine will be getting the Holocaust it could only dream of 69 years ago. Unfortunately so will the rabid greedy M-F's who have been following "it" to it's final resting place!
<chuckle>
That's funny.
<chuckle>
That's funny.
So glad that you find humor in it! I always believe it's best to have a good laugh before you meet your fate! Always better to die laughing then crying.
Look at the bright side?
If you're a Yid you'll be getting that "all over tan" to die for!
Gentile...
And to that fantasy about the tan.....ROTFLMAO !!!
You're correct, it won't be a tan but more of a burn.
You may want to slather on the SPF 10,000!
Never give racists nuclear arms.

what is intention to post 4 year old article?
It's needed to re-seed the fact for preparations being made. It is to prepare your mind.
I noticed it resurrected on other sites too. Not sure why, overeager to get clicks?
Glad to see so many other zh readers pick up on the outdatedness.
Casus belli is a Latin expression meaning "An act or event that provokes or is used to justify war" from Wiki. Certainly the Iranians, Hamas, and Hezbulla have all consciously crossed the line. Consequently, Israel has all the legal, lawful, and moral justification to annihilate any such threat. Did the Soviet Union, even under Joe Stalin, express a threat to eliminate the US from existing? No, never....the CCCP knew better.
K, shill, whatever you say.
Hey my fine refined friend, don't you have any moxie to dispense, to display or are you a mental midget and haven't the aptitude to assemble a cogent argument...or sentence? :) Peace Braaaa
It's ok falconflight.
I've learned over the years that most of the posters on ZH think they are some tough mothers when it comes to Fight Club.....until the subject involves Israel.
Then they get SOOoooo butt-hurt when somebody actually throws a punch back.
Like....."Dude...I thought Fight Club was just a metaphor ! "
Most of the posters here would probably in all actuality find a better home at Stormfront.org
I think there's a diversity (:>) of fellow travelers whom agree on just one thing; dispose of the dirty Jew Zionist devils once and for all. David Duker's, StormFront, Moslems, typical DemPerv Leftists, PaulBots, and other easily swayed by the 'biggest lie' just like their hero Joesph Gobbles famously declared.
Well said, sir.
Jumbotron....I'm getting bored stiff with this proud ignorance. Mossad doesn't pay me enough, and they'll not even bother with these pathetic drones. All Clear here Bibi!
Mazel Tov !
Yup, just a little old to be called "breaking news".
Thanks you guys for picking up on that.
With over a half century of collective dual-citizen Jewish-Israeli espionage against the US, they should park the subs off of Israel.
I am sick to death of the USSA insisting that "Israel's interests are Amerika's interests". Nothing could be further from the truth. Israel has highjacked, via AIPAC, our foreign affairs ad nauseam. Screw Israel. I hope they get their asses kicked big time by China and Russia. Chosen people, indeed.
A four year old Haaretz article that mentions an unlinked Sunday Times (London?) article. So, what happened then, did everybody die? Inquiring minds want to know.

what else is new?
They are going to pray in their general direction?
I have to say, all this posturing between countries and who has the biggest dick, is totally unprecedented. I have never seen such provocation in my entire life, by all countries involved.
This is all heading one way, all it takes is one mistake (or action), from one entity, which is conceived as a threat by another country and the whole thing blows up.
I think we are witnessing something we will never witness again in our lifetime, god help us all.
Who's the aggressor again?
This proves who the real nuclear terrorist is & it's not Iran.
