Threat of Military Attack on Iran

The grave concern expressed by the Government about statement from Israel
and the United States threatening military action against Iran is timely.
While the Ministry of External Affairs has taken note of the imminent threat
of military attack by Israel and the United States on Iran, this concern
would have been credible only if the UPA government had not helped Israel's
military capabilities.

In January this year, ISRO launched the Israeli spy satellite TecSar. This
advanced satellite produced by Israel and the United States jointly is being
used to conduct surveillance of Iran. If there is a military attack by
Israel on Iran, the TecSar facilities will be invaluable.

If the Manmohan Singh government is really concerned about the military
attack on Iran, it should forthwith cancel the launch of two more satellites
in this series. It should forthwith stop all military collaboration with
Israel.
