Uprooted Palestinian: SALAM ALQUDS ALAYKUM – سلام القدس عليكم: Kerry Blasts Zionist Stances on N-Deal, Iran Starts ’Great Prophet - 9’ Drills in Persian Gulf as KSA Welcomes Israel Jets to Strike Iran,

US Secretary of State John Kerry blasted the Zionist PM Benjamin Netanyahu's stances which oppose the nuclear deal between Iran and the West, stressing that what has been said about the talks is false.

Netanyahu had said that Iran would be able to produce nuclear bombs with an international acceptance after reaching the deal.

For its part, Saudi Arabia expressed its readiness to let the Israeli warplanes use its airspace in order to strike the Iranian nuclear facilities, according to Israeli media sources.

The sources added that Riyadh and Tel Aviv are coordinating their political and field positions on Iran.

Israelis Say Saudis Willing to Help Them Hit Iran

Deal Would Be in Return for Progress in Palestinian Peace Talks

by Jason Ditz, February 24, 2015

Israel’s Channel 2 is claiming Saudi Arabia is close to agreeing to let Israel use their airspace to attack Iran, something Israel has been reported to be seeking for many years.

The latest report says that Saudi Arabia would be willing to let them use their air space, but only if Israel makes some progress on a peace deal with the Palestinians.

The theory is that Saudi Arabia would be able to get away with cooperating on the attack with less regional backlash if Israel was making some credible progress on the peace deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he is determined to prevent any deal between Iran and the P5+1, and attacking Iran would certainly be one way of killing the diplomatic process. Netanyahu’s aversion to making any progress on peace with the Palestinians, however, makes that concession unlikely.

It should be noted that Israeli papers have reported similar “deals” in the past, only for Saudi Arabia to come out and deny them in a day or two.

Iran Starts ’Great Prophet - 9’ Drills in Persian Gulf

Local Editor

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps started massive military drills named "Great Prophet Mohammad the Messenger of Allah 9" Wednesday morning in the Strait of Hormuz in Larak Island, Persian Gulf, Mehr news agency reported.

Representing sustainable sovereignty and security in the light of national determination, Great Prophet 9 drill is attended by different Iranian senior officials including IRGC commanders, generals and military officials as well as Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.

The Great Prophet 9 war games aim at showing IRGC’s missile combat power to trans-regional powers as well as to upgrade combat power of IRGC’s operating units.

"The military drills and the military might of Iran sends out the message of peace and friendship to the outside world especially the neighboring regional countries and also the rest of the world; however, at the same time, it is a crushing response to those who want to become invaders or to violate rights and the territorial integrity of other countries," IRGC officials had announced ahead of drills.

The first day of the exercises will see mining operations by IRGC speedboats with various capabilities including marine radars and advanced communication systems, cruise missiles with a range of 25 km, medium-range anti-ship missiles, medium- and large-caliber torpedoes and naval mines.

For the first time in the world, helicopters equipped with missiles will be used in the military drills and also two coast-to-sea ballistic missiles will be fired which will be able to cover up to 270 kilometers of distance.

In another part of today’s operation, radar-evading missiles called Nasr (Arabic for Victory) will also be launched from the vessels which can fly at the altitude of 2-5 meters above the sea level.

Great Prophet Mohammad the Messenger of Allah war games (Great Prophet 9 Maneuver) are three-day military drills operated by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in the Strait of Hormuz to show Iran's military might against probable enemies seeking to encroach on Iran's territories.
