According to a report in the Arabic news daily Al Hayat, the Israeli spy agency Mossad in cooperation with American forces in Iraq, have installed radars in the island of Um al-Rassas near the city of Basra.

The aim of the operations is to monitor military and security operations in Iran.

Quoting unnamed sources, the paper states that the radars are equipped with sophisticated systems and technology, capable of monitoring operations by the army deep inside Iranian territory.

The systems set up on 50-meter pillars are reportedly 800 kilometers off the Iranian Port of Khorramshahr, and enables Mossad and the CIA to eavesdrop on cellular phone conversations.

3. I don't know....

it is so hard to tell these days with all of the BS spewing from all sides. I still think the US has the better propaganda machine at this point.

4. Oh, we ARE watching Iran, and Iran knows we are watching them.

And we may well be cooperating with Israeli intelligence, etc.
But it's not news, and there is only one reason to blather about
it in public like this. This is a case of Arab media feeding red
meat to their public, not unlike what Fox does here in the USA.
Keeping the herd spooked.

Edit: and I do agree, the US is better at it.

7. Indeed, My Friend

It would distress me somewhat if such activities were not going one, in the same it would distress me to hear a dog initiate a conversation in English: it would shake my sense of the rightness of things and fulfilment of appointed functions in this unhappy world....

2. All that equipment will fall into Iran's hands

As soon as the Shiite majority forms a government and kicks the U.S. out of Iraq.

5. I wonder if it's occured to any of the idiots

over at the monkey palace that Iranian fighters could be going in to keep US troops busy in Iraq to help deter a US attack on Iran.

6. Something sourced from Al Hayat is not legitimate LBN.

Particularly anything that is talking about "teh evil j00z!!11"

Arab media has reliability issues, especially when using unnamed sources claiming to have super-secret knowledge of evil plots.
