Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran (85)

 

Chapter 31 Rotating Star of Dabid (2) Nuclear aircraft carrier H.S. Truman (2/3)


 

The U.S. pilot looked “Elite” and sent him a sign. This time he pushed his thumb down and shook his fist up and down. It meant to be a signal to go downward. The U.S. jet accelerated a little to move in front of him and lowered its altitude.

 

Accordingly, "Elite" shifted downward position. The horizon, which had been visible in front of him, slid above the cockpit. He saw the entire view of Persian Gulf with the cobalt blue extended before him. The sea surface was calm with no waves. A tanker holding two huge spherical tanks sailed calmly in the sea. It was a LNG tanker ship that loaded liquified natural gas.

 

If two jets were heading to Qatar, it was probably already past the midpoint of the Persian Gulf. The fuel gauge showed almost zero. There was little time left.

  (Japanese Version)   Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran (63)   Chapter 24 US Military embarks on (1) Kill before you are killed (1/2)   The turmoil in the Persian Gulf region was further escalated by the US containment policy of Iran, which was triggered by the alleged nuclear development in Iran. It was the US logic that once Iran took lead in nuclear development in the region, the entire Middle East would become unstable and Iranian nuclear weapons might be smuggled to Islamic terrorist organizations in the future.   But the U.S. vital interest was Israeli security.

  (Japanese Version)   (Translated from English Version to Arabic by Google Translate)   الجزء الأول. إسرائيل تقصف محطة نووية في إيران (63)   الفصل 24 الجيش الأمريكي ينطلق إلى (2) اقتل قبل أن تقتل (3/3)   ولقد تفاقمت الاضطرابات في منطقة الخليج الفارسي بسبب سياسة الاحتواء التي تنتهجها الولايات المتحدة تجاه إيران، والتي أشعلت شرارتها التطورات النووية المزعومة في إيران. وكان المنطق الأميركي يقول إن الشرق الأوسط بأكمله سوف يصبح غير مستقر بمجرد تولي إيران زمام المبادرة في مجال التطوير النووي في المنطقة، وربما يتم تهريب الأسلحة النووية الإيرانية إلى المنظمات الإرهابية الإسلامية في المستقبل.   ولكن المصلحة الحيوية للولايات المتحدة كانت أمن إسرائيل. فبالنسبة للولايات المتحدة، كانت إسرائيل ذاتها تقع بعيداً عن الولايات المتحدة حيث كانت تقع جغرافياً على الجانب الآخر من العالم وراء المحيط الأطلسي. ولم تكن إسرائيل تشكل أهمية اقتصادية كبيرة بالنسبة للولايات المتحدة. ومع ذلك، فقد دعمت الولايات المتحدة...
