Rapide mais \u00e9difiante nouvelle, ce jour dans le Sunday Telegraph<\/em> : Isra\u00ebl a d’ores et d\u00e9j\u00e0 ouvert son front iranien (Iran front<\/em>). C’est une \u00e9trange nouvelle<\/a>, m\u00e9langeant la froideur voulue des planificateurs high tech<\/em> de la guerre moderne (celle qui r\u00e9ussit : voyez les USA en Irak et Isra\u00ebl contre le Hezbollah) ; l’exaltation apocalyptique de la bataille pour la survivance ; le rappel, en passant, des souvenirs des exterminations de la Deuxi\u00e8me Guerre mondiale.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab Israel has appointed a top general to oversee a war against Iran, prompting speculation that it is preparing for possible military action against Teheran’s nuclear programme.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Maj Gen Elyezer Shkedy, Israel’s air force chief, will be overall commander for the Iran front, according to military sources spoken to by The Sunday Telegraph.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb News of the appointment comes just days before a United Nations deadline expires for Iran to give up its nuclear programme, which Western governments fear will be used to produce atomic weapons. Despite Iran’s offer last week to engage in serious talks on the matter, Israel fears even more than other Western nations that the offer is simply to buy time for Teheran to secure all the technology it needs to build the bomb.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Israel is becoming extremely concerned now with what they see as Iran’s delaying tactics, said the Israeli Iran expert Meir Javedanfar. They [the planners] think negotiations are going nowhere and Iran is becoming a major danger for Israel.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb President Ahmadinejad has a religious conviction that Israel’s demise is essential to the restoration of Muslim glory, that the Zionist thorn in the heart of the Islamic nations must be removed, <\/em>[Giora Eiland, Israel’s former national security adviser] said. Gen Shkedy, who was appointed to the role two months ago, will co-ordinate intelligence gathered by Israel’s foreign spy agency Mossad and military sources, in order to draw up battle plans. Then, during any war with Iran, he will command the campaign from a hotseat’ in the Israel army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb It’s natural that Shkedy is nominated to this role, because the air force is Israel’s only force that can reach and sustain a military operation against Iran, said Uri Dromi, a former air force colonel and military analyst. Everyone is playing with dates and timeframes, but the list of options is becoming shorter, he added. I think we have one year open [to launch military action]. Israel will have to decide.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Gen Shkedy’s appointment to the Iran command role was made by Israel’s chief of staff Dan Halutz in the run-up to this summer’s Lebanon war, but emerged only last week. Gen Shkedy, 49, is the son of Holocaust survivors and has a picture in his office of an Israeli F15 flying over Auschwitz.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb The father of three makes no bones about the Iranian threat to Israel. Ahmadinejad is trying with all his might to reach a nuclear capability. There’s no argument about his intentions, he said in an interview two months ago, about the time of his appointment. This nuclear weaponry can come to constitute an existential threat to Israel and the rest of the world. My job is to maximise our capabilities in every respect. Beyond that, in this case, the less said the better.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tEntre temps, puisque la planification a \u00e9t\u00e9 mise en place peu avant<\/strong> la bataille contre le Hezbollah, a eu lieu cette bataille, avec les r\u00e9sultats qu’on sait. Aucun enseignement \u00e0 tirer pour la planification du front iranien ? Il ne semble pas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tL’on peut en d\u00e9duire que la nouvelle sur le front iranien de la Grande Guerre hypoth\u00e9tique \u00e0 venir concerne \u00e9galement, sinon principalement, deux autres fronts, dans une autre guerre, m\u00e9diatique celle-l\u00e0 (une sous-branche du virtualisme) : le front am\u00e9ricain et le front int\u00e9rieur.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Sur le front am\u00e9ricain (Washington, D.C.), il s’agit d’exercer une pression pour durcir les partisans d’une attaque contre l’Iran. (Eventuellement aussi, appel du pied aux amis de l’ONU, pour leur rappeler qu’Isra\u00ebl est pr\u00eat \u00e0 en d\u00e9coudre et qu’ils ne doivent pas desserrer leur \u00e9treinte sur l’Iran. Les r\u00e9cents r\u00e9sultats des interventions isra\u00e9liennes donnent effectivement \u00e0 tout le monde le go\u00fbt de suivre. Dr\u00f4le d’id\u00e9e)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Sur le front int\u00e9rieur, il s’agit de rappeler que l’affrontement avec l’Iran est proche est qu’il n’est pas temps de bouleverser l’ordre et la planification de Tsahal<\/em>, suite \u00e0 la bataille contre le Hezbollah, aux enqupetes et aux sanctions r\u00e9clam\u00e9es d’un peu partout. Comme on dit, selon la formule brillante que nous avions avanc\u00e9e : on ne change pas une \u00e9quipe qui perd. Il n’emp\u00eache : la pression et la dialectique apocalyptique sont telles en Isra\u00ebl que cette sorte d’allusion pourrait effectivement faire son effet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Sur ce m\u00eame front int\u00e9rieur, allons plus loin. La nouvelle peut aller effectivement plus loin encore dans sa signification cach\u00e9e, en affirmant la volont\u00e9 implicite du commandement, ou de certains officiers g\u00e9n\u00e9raux, de suivre certaines options politico-militaires, y compris si n\u00e9cessaire contre l’avis du pouvoir politique. Certaines rumeurs ont couru pendant la bataille contre le Hezbollah, mettant gravement en cause le pouvoir politique isra\u00e9lien et \u00e9voquant la possibilit\u00e9 d’un coup d’Etat (the C word<\/em>). Voir, par exemple, l’article de tonalit\u00e9 tr\u00e8s radicale, appuy\u00e9 sur des pr\u00e9cisions venues des milieux militaires, de IsraelInsider.com<\/a>, le 9 ao\u00fbt ; avec, en conclusion :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00ab Instead, according to military sources, Israel finds itself getting bogged down by a manifestly inferior enemy, due to the limitations placed on the IDF by the political leadership. This has been construed by the enemy as a clear sign that Israel is in the hands of a leadership not up to the task, lacking the required experience, guts and willpower. In the Middle East this is an invitation to court disaster, as witness by Iran’s and Syria’s increased boldness in significantly upping the ante of their involvement in the war.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Some senior officers have been mentioning the C-word in private conversations. They have been saying that a coup d’etat might be the only way to prevent an outcome in Lebanon that could embolden the Arab world to join forces with Syria and Iran in an all out assault on Israel, given the fact that such a development would be spurred entirely by the Arab and Moslem world’s perception of Israel’s leadership as weak, craven and vacillating, and therefore ripe for intimidation.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 27 ao\u00fbt 2006 \u00e0 16H36<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rapide mais \u00e9difiante nouvelle, ce jour dans le Sunday Telegraph : Isra\u00ebl a d’ores et d\u00e9j\u00e0 ouvert son front iranien (Iran front).
