Three Israeli submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles are to be deployed in the Gulf near the Iranian coastline.
The first Submarine has been sent in response to Israeli fears that ballistic missiles developed by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, a political and military organization in Lebanon, could hit sites in Israel, including air bases and missile launchers.
The submarines — Dolphin, Tekuma and Leviathan — have visited the Gulf before. But the decision has now been taken to ensure a permanent presence of at least one of the vessels. The flotilla’s commander, identified only as “IDF Navy Captain O”, told an Israeli newspaper: “We are an underwater assault force. We’re operating deep and far, very far, from our borders.” Each of the IDF's submarines has a crew of 35 to 50 IDF Seamen, commanded by an IDF Naval Captain, and is capable of launching a nuclear cruise missile. The vessels can remain at sea for about 50 days and stay submerged up to 1,150ft below the surface for at least a week. Some of the cruise missiles are equipped with the most advanced nuclear warheads in the Israeli arsenal.
The deployment is designed 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,” said a flotilla officer.
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,” said a navy officer. Apparently responding to the Israeli activity, an Iranian admiral said: “Anyone who wishes to do an evil act in the Persian Gulf will receive a forceful response from us.”
Israel’s urgent need to deter the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah alliance was demonstrated last month. Ehud Barak, the Israeli defense minister, was said to have shown USA President Obama classified satellite images of a convoy of ballistic missiles leaving Syria on the way to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel's Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, will emphasize the danger to Obama in Washington this week.

Three submarines. One for each world war. Israel just started the third one.
Einstein said that WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
And don't tell me - a secret 4th one is off the coast of Washington DC, which will, when it fires nukes on the US, will be dubbed "Eye-ranian".
They are not too subtle any more the chosen ones of IsraHell?
They merryly slaughter the poeople coming to the aid of the people of Gaza, the biggest ever concentration camp on earth, and they are not shy threatening Iran with a nuclear attack.
My own guess is that the US foreign policy has not just been bought from corrupt US politicians who have sold out the interests of the USA, but that the country has been threatened just as the evil ones are now threatening Iran.
"We’re operating deep and far, very far, from our borders". Wewe better believe the IDF, and maybe they even celebrated the maiden voyage of their newest nuclear submarine generously donated to Israel by German taxpayers by sending it to the waters of Korea to have some fun and kick off the third world war from there! After all, the Americans are so unbelievably slow in getting the war on Iran started, and it is difficult to make the nuclear powers of India and Pakistan fight in spite of honest efforts made in Mumbay.
It is logical to conclude as has been done by others today that what happened this morning was Israel's open attack on humanity and it is up to us to respond to it. We may give in just like the Americans and submit to ever more humiliating pressure which will cost our independence, out dignity and our wealth, or we may stand up and face these criminals.
We are many and they are few. And everyone on their side who do not speak up against evil has supported it. Therefore, let a possible new, illegal attack on Iran (whether done by Israel itself or its humble servant and slave the USA) unleash an all out ingternational warfare on all members of the Synagogue of Satan. They have admitted to possess nuclear weapons but our guns and kitchen utensils will do to get rid of them once and for all.
