A top secret Saudi memo contends that Iran shipped nuclear equipment to Sudan, in a shocking leak that comes ahead of a June 30 deadline for Iran nuclear talks with world powers.

The revelation was part of a huge trove of documents published on the Wikileaks web site. The trove of 60,000 documents was published last week, with the bulk of them said to be secret communications between the government in Riyadh and Saudi embassies around the world.

Among the documents, for example, is one that claims that a group of students from Saudi Arabia and a number of other Gulf states visited the Israeli Embassy in Washington as part of an international education program. Saudi Arabia has denied the veracity of the documents, saying that most of them were “probably faked.”

In a document publicized Tuesday, Saudi diplomats in Khartoum said that Iran may have shipped equipment, including centrifuges needed to create fuel for nuclear weapons, to Sudan in 2012.

“The embassy's sources advised that Iranian containers arrived this week at Khartoum airport containing sensitive technical equipment in the form of fast centrifuges for enriching uranium, and a second shipment is expected to arrive this week,” Reuters quoted the documents as saying.

The document does not provide details on how the equipment might have been shipped, or what Sudan planned to do with it. It also did not supply further evidence of the shipment.

The Iranian-Sudanese alliance

Iran has been developing its nuclear program with help from the rogue nuclear power North Korea, and has threatened to use advanced centrifuges after a deal is reached that would allow it to obtain a nuclear arsenal within weeks.

The repressive Islamic regime in Sudan, led by President Omar al-Bashir who is wanted for his role in the Darfur massacre, has been an important ally of Iran.

Last March, IDF forces seized the Klos C in waters off the shores of Sudan, which was smuggling a massive weapons shipment from Iran to Hamas.

A top Israeli defense official said back in 2012 that Sudan "serves as a route for the transfer, via Egyptian territory, of Iranian weapons to Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists." Iranian warships regularly dock in Port Sudan, in what Khartoum describes as “routine” visits.

The new batch of 60,000 documents, according to WikiLeaks, include embassy communications, emails between diplomats and reports from other official state departments and organizations.

The international organization, which publishes secret and classified information as well as news leaks, says this first batch of 60,000 documents is the lead up to the eventual release of some half a million Saudi documents it has obtained.

WikiLeaks would not say from where it had collected the documents.

MKs read testimony by IDF soldiers about the lengths to which the military goes to avoid civilian casualties, during their weekly one-minute speeches on Tuesday.

The initiative by MK Yoav Kisch (Likud), an IAF pilot, was a response to the UN’s report on Operation Protective Edge, which claimed that the IDF committed war crimes. Kisch collected testimony from members of the "My Truth" [se länk ovan] which seeks to defend IDF soldiers’ image around the world.

Kisch recounted that, as a pilot, he made sure there were no civilians in every target before setting off to bomb it, and there were several times in which he turned around and did not drop a bomb because there was a suspicion that there were civilians at the target.

MK Eitan Cabel (Zionist Union), who still does reserve duty as an infantry soldier, also spoke of his experiences: “I never received or heard an order meant to harm civilians. We often received orders that put our lives in danger, in order to prevent harming civilians.”

“The IDF followed all the rules to clear areas of civilians, but Hamas cynically forced some to stay,” MK Danny Atar (Zionist Union) said, reading testimony from a Golani soldier. “[Palestinians] were killed by explosives they didn’t know were there, that Hamas planted.”

“We lost our element of surprise, the best of our sons, to make sure we wouldn’t kill civilians that the enemy used as human shields,” he added.

MK Oren Hazan read testimony from a soldier named Shahar Ilanberg, who said that he saw children in an area that had been cleared of civilians for a week and a half. When he told them to leave, they said they are looking for food, and he and other soldiers gave them food.

Later, the soldiers found that they had miscalculated and they did not have enough food for themselves. When they asked if they could make some pasta from one of the Gazan homes, their officer told them no, “that is looting, and we are not an army that loots.”

MK Merav Ben-Ari (Kulanu) read testimony by Dror Dagan, who was injured while arresting a terrorist, and listened from the visitors’ gallery, sitting in his wheelchair.

“When we burst into the house and quickly scanned the rooms, the wife of the terrorist, a senior Hamas member, fainted. As a medic, I did not hesitate and started taking care of her,” Dagan wrote. “Not two minutes passed and it turned out that it was a trap. It was all pretend, a trick to gain time so the suspect could get organized.”

“I was injured, because I was taught the values of the IDF, to take care of anyone who is injured, even if it is the wife of a terrorist,” Dagan added.

MK David Bitan (Likud) read testimony from a soldier who brought food to Gazans to break their Ramadan fast. When journalists tried to take photographs, Hamas forced them to put their cameras away.

“As a medic, I have to treat all people, even terrorists,” MK Yinon Magal (Bayit Yehudi) read from Gal Shmul’s testimony from his IDF service not during Protective Edge. “I took care of a Syrian rebel who was missing a hand. I saved his life. Once he was better, he said he’ll be back to conquer Jerusalem.”

In his own words, Magal said: “One day the world will apologize to us…Look at any other country dealing with terrorism – US, UK, anyone – and try to find an army that is more moral than the IDF. There isn’t one.”

Other lawmakers who participated were MKs Nava Boker, Nurit Koren and Miki Zohar of Likud, Ayelet Verbin-Nahmias and Revital Swid of Zionist Union, Yaakov Peri and Haim Yelin of Yesh Atid, Sharon Gal (Yisrael Beytenu), Yinon Magal (Bayit Yehudi), Yoav Ben-Tzur (Shas) and Uri Maklev (UTJ).

“A year since the end of Operation Protective Edge is the right time for the world to know and hear the true stories of fighters that were never told before. There is no army in the world who is more careful about its morality and purity of arms like the IDF,” Kisch said.

My Truth said that they’re glad MKs joined the efforts of “fighters from across the political spectrum, right and left, who fought in the battlefield in the spirit of the IDF and its ethical and moral code, who will not let extremist organizations like Breaking the Silence slander our names and present a false story in Israel and around the world, in which the IDF and its soldiers are the worst offenders.”

Iran's Forces and U.S. Share a Base in Iraq

 

173 JUN 22, 2015 1:37 PM EDT

By Josh Rogin & Eli Lake

The U.S. military and Iranian-backed Shiite militias are getting closer and closer in Iraq, even sharing a base, while Iran uses those militias to expand its influence in Iraq and fight alongside the Bashar al-Assad regime in neighboring Syria.

Two senior administration officials confirmed to us that U.S. soldiers and Shiite militia groups are both using the Taqqadum military base in Anbar, the same Iraqi base where President Obama is sending an additional 450 U.S. military personnel to help train the local forces fighting against the Islamic State. Some of the Iran-backed Shiite militias at the base have killed American soldiers in the past.

Some inside the Obama administration fear that sharing the base puts U.S. soldiers at risk. The U.S. intelligence community has reported back to Washington that representatives of some of the more extreme militias have been spying on U.S. operations at Taqqadum, one senior administration official told us. That could be calamitous if the fragile relationship between the U.S. military and the Shiite militias comes apart and Iran-backed forces decide to again target U.S. troops.

American critics of this growing cooperation between the U.S. military and the Iranian-backed militias call it a betrayal of the U.S. personnel who fought against the militias during the 10-year U.S. occupation of Iraq.

“It’s an insult to the families of the American soldiers that were wounded and killed in battles in which the Shia militias were the enemy,” Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain told us. “Now, providing arms to them and supporting them, it’s very hard for those families to understand.”

The U.S. is not directly training Shiite units of what are known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, which include tens of thousands of Iraqis who have volunteered to fight against the Islamic State as well as thousands of hardened militants who ultimately answer to militia leaders loyal to Tehran. But the U.S. is flying close air support missions for those forces.

The U.S. gives weapons directly only to the Iraqi government and the Iraqi Security Forces, but the lines between them and the militias are blurry. U.S. weapons often fall into the hands of militias like Iraqi Hezbollah. Sometimes the military cooperation is even more explicit. Commanders of some of the hard-line militias sit in on U.S. military briefings on operations that were meant for the government-controlled Iraqi Security Forces, a senior administration official said.

This collaboration with terrorist groups that have killed Americans was seen as unavoidable as the U.S. marshaled Iraqis against the Islamic State, but could prove counterproductive to U.S. interests in the long term, this official said.

The militias comprise largely Shiite volunteers and are headed by the leader of the Iraqi Hezbollah, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. He was sanctioned in 2009 by the Treasury Department for destabilizing Iraq. Al-Muhandis is a close associate of Qassem Suleimani, the Iranian Quds Force commander, who has snapped selfies with the militia leader at key battles.

Other militias that have participated in the fighting against the Islamic State include the League of the Righteous, which in 2007 carried out a brutal roadside execution of five U.S. soldiers near Karbala. The group to this day boasts of its killing of U.S. soldiers. In an interview in February, a spokesman for the militia defended the killings and said his militia had killed many more American soldiers.

Members of these groups have also been deployed by Iran to defend the Assad regime in neighboring Syria. James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, confirmed in a June 3 letter to seven Republican senators, which we obtained, that "Iran and Hezbollah have also leveraged allied Iraqi Shiia militant and terrorist groups -- which receive training in Iran -- to participate in pro-Assad operations."

The Washington Institute in 2013 identified three militias -- the League of the Righteous, Iraqi Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada -- as sending elite fighters to Syria to fight for Assad.  All three help to lead the popular mobilization committees that fight the Islamic State in Iraq.

These militias also stand accused of gross human rights abuses and battlefield atrocities in Sunni areas where they have fought. The State Department heavily criticized Iran’s support for the Iraqi militias and those militias’ behavior in its annual report on worldwide terrorism, released late last week.

“Despite its pledge to support Iraq’s stabilization, Iran increased training and funding to Iraqi Shia militia groups in response to ISIL’s advance into Iraq. Many of these groups, such as Iraqi Hezbollah,have exacerbated sectarian tensions in Iraq and have committed serious human rights abuses against primarily Sunni civilians,” the State Department reported. “Similar to Hezbollah fighters, many of these trained Shia militants have used these skills to fight for the Assad regime in Syria or against ISIL in Iraq.”Accounts of the number of Iraqi Shiite fighters at Taqqadum vary. One senior administration official told us there are “only a few” militia representatives at the base, to coordinate with Iraqi Security Forces, while the bulk of the popular mobilization forces are deployed in the field, mostly around Ramadi, which is held by the Islamic State. A different senior administration official told us that there were hundreds of Shiite militia fighters at the base recently and that they flow in and out of the base for operations in the area.

The U.S. government has sought and received formal assurances from the government of Iraq that the Shiite militias on the base would not interfere with American military personnel. But there’s widespread skepticism that the politicians in Baghdad exert any real control over the hard-line militias. So far, in the 11 months since U.S. special operations forces have been in Iraq, Iranian-supported militias in Iraq and U.S. personnel have not clashed while fighting a common enemy.

“There’s no real command and control from the central government,” one senior administration official said. “Even if these guys don’t attack us … Iran is ushering in a new Hezbollah era in Iraq, and we will have aided and abetted it.”

With the deadline approaching for a nuclear deal that would place up to $150 billion in the hands of Iran, the U.S. is now openly acknowledging in its annual report on international terrorism that Iran is supporting a foreign legion, comprising Afghans, Iraqis and Lebanese fighters, to defend Iranian interests throughout the Middle East.

But the U.S. response to this is inconsistent. In Iraq, America is fighting alongside Iranian-backed militias. In Syria, U.S.-supported forces are fighting against these same militias. The tragedy of this policy is that the Islamic State has been able to hold and expand its territory in Iraq and Syria, while Iran has been able to tighten its grip on Baghdad.

IDF: Flotilla will be stopped

The army is preparing to stop the pro-Palestinian flotilla from reaching Gaza. On the boats are parliamentarians and diplomats from all over the world, including an Israeli Arab MK.

Vad som kommer att möta Dror Failure.

The IDF has officially been instructed to stop the anti-Israel flotilla, which according to reports has sailed out and is now between Italy and Greece headed towards Gaza’s shores. It consists of two small vessels carrying anti-Israel activists from various countries and which do not seem to have a large enough capacity for much humanitarian or medical equipment.

Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett referred to the planned flotilla this evening and stated: “Ten years after the disengagement, from Gush Qatif rockets are fired at Israel, from Gaza tunnels are dug into our communities, and from Turkey comes boats of terror to our shores. We promised that ‘there is a solution for every settler’ and we received ‘there is a solution for every terrorist.’ We evacuated Jews and we received flotillas.” He stressed that Israel needs to say in a clear voice “we don’t run away anymore from our land and the Palestinians lost all of their rights if they had any to demand it.”

Earlier on Sunday, MK Basel Ghattas of the Joint Arab List announced his participation in the flotilla and called it "a civilian boat of peace," adding that "trying to reach Gaza through international waters does not count as being aggressive to anyone. Aggressiveness is to impose a blockade." MK Sharon Gal of Yisrael Beitenu stated in response that this is “further proof that the Joint Arab List is a fifth column." He added that MK Ghattas is "an extremist who hates Israel and intends to join the next ship of terror, which is similar to the one his party member Zoabi had attended."

On Saturday, Russian news agency RT reported that at least three ships have already sailed out from several Mediterranean Sea ports. The list of participants has been kept secret, but reportedly it is known that among the activists is a former Tunisian president, as well as athletes, parliamentarians, diplomats, journalists and a Catholic nun.

RT's journalist Nadezhda Kevorkova interviewed the participants and heard about their fears of a violent clash with the IDF forces, as well as their suspicions of possibly having a "mole" among them.

Dror Feiler, 63, a well-known Swedish musician of Israeli origin, is among the activists. He was born in Israel, served in the army and immigrated to Sweden 40 years ago. His mother still lives in Israel, but he has been denied entrance to the country. "It is possible that we won't reach Gaza," he told Kevorkona, "but we will reach many hearts that will beat together with Gaza."

WATCH: Israeli Druze protest against massacre of Syrian brethren
The protesters wish to pressure Israel to find a solution for the besieged Druze in Syria, who have been suffering violent attacks from rebel groups.

Jun 20, 2015, 01:00PM | Omri Ariel

Thousands of Israel's Druze minority attended a demonstration Saturday morning in the northern Druze village of Beit Jann, in support of their brethren in Syria who are under siege by Jabhat al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda-linked rebel group.

The organizers of the demonstration claimed they will continue their protest until a solution is found for the Druze living in southern Syria's mountainous region, nicknamed Jabal al-Druze for its Druze majority. Earlier this week, the Syrian rebels surrounded it and have since murdered at least 20 of them.

"Israel is going to be flooded with demonstrations like this," one of the organizers exclaimed. A citizen of Beit Jann told Channel 2 News: "We are here because we want to tell our brothers in Syria – we will not let anybody harm you."

So far, the Druze protest has received quiet support from the Israeli public. Druze villages in the Galilee have lately been visited by some Israeli Jews, as well as people of other religions and ethnic groups, who wished to donate money in order to assist the besieged Druze in Syria.

During last week, dozens of Druze citizens from the Golan Heights gathered along the border with Syria and watched over to the other side using binoculars. They told media sources they were worried for their families' safety.

The IDF has pledged to give humanitarian aid to any refugee who approaches the border with Israel. In a Facebook post on Tuesday, IDF Spokesperson Moti Almoz said the situation in the northern Golan was "uneventful" and "under control", but later that day the army declared an area in the northeastern Golan a closed military zone, limiting access to residents only.
