중동위기 업데이트 - 정진욱목사

[peter.]

요즘 다시 중동에 위기가 닥치고 있습니다. 미국과 이스라엘이 페르시아만에서 대규모 이란 공격훈련을 하고 있기 때문입니다. 이것이 필요한 이유는 여러가지 입니다. 이란은 핵무기를 포기 하지 않고 있으며

시리아를 통하여 팔레스타인 무장 단체인 히스볼라에게 미사일등을 공급하며 정규군사로 훈련시키고 있기 때문입니다. 그리고 러시아는 이란에 신형무기를 공급하면서 이란 군대를 훈련시키고 있는 것이 발견되었습니다.

러시아 터키 시리아, 이란 등은 이스라엘을 국제 사회에서 고립시키기 위하여 여러가지로 노력하고 있습니다. 그중에 하나로 인도적 지원을 가장한 팔레스타인 지원을 위한 선박이 터키의 주관으로 이스라엘 가자지구에 접근하다가 이스라엘의 공격을 받고 10여명이 죽는 사고 가 발생하였습니다. 이들은 인도적 차원의 팔레스타인 지원 선이기 보다는 그것을 구실로 내세운 무장단체들의 선동입니다.

이스라엘은 여러차례 입항을 허락할 수 없다는 경고를 보냈음에도 불구하고 무력충돌을 일으켜 이스라엘을 곤경에 빠트리고 있습니다.

이스라엘은 그런 선박을 통하여 무기가 하마스나 히스볼라에게 들어가는 것을 막아야 하기 때문에 충돌은 불가피한 것입니다. 터키는 이번 사건을 이유로 주 이스라엘 대사를 소환하였고 두 나라의 관계 단절까지 고려하고 있습니다.

게이트 미국 국방장관은 이란은 이제 유럽까지 미사일로 동시대량 공격을 감행할수 있다고 증언하였습니다. 그러나 미국을 유럽 미사일 방위시스템을 해체하였는데 그것은 잘못된 정보때문이며 이란을 낮게 평가했기 때문이라고 하였습니다.

멕코만 오일 유출과 같은 환경재앙, 기후변화, 태양홍염 폭발(http://nongae.gsnu.ac.kr/~jbchoi/index/earth/chap7/7-3.htm) 화산 폭발, 전쟁의 위협, 경제위기, 핍박(아프가니스탄 등) 등등 종말의 현상이 계속되고 있습니다.

주님을 사모하고 깨어 기도하며 전도와 선교에 힘써야 하겠습니다.

주님을 사모하며 찬양합니다.

할렐루야!

US-led armada secretly drilled bombing Iranian targets, missile defense with Israel
DEBKAfile DEBKA-Net-Weekly June 21, 2010, 6:54 PM (GMT+02:00)

 

The armada of 10 US warships plus an Israeli and German battle vessel each, which transited the Suez Canal Friday, June 18, has reached the Persian Gulf, debkafile's military sources report.
But first, from June 6 through June 10, the USS Harry S. Truman carrier Strike Group was deployed 50 miles of the shore of southwestern Israel, secretly drilling the interception of incoming Iranian, Syrian and Hizballah missiles and rockets against US and Israeli targets in the Middle East.
This was first revealed by DEBKA-Net-Weekly 449 on June 18.

The fleet let by the Truman then headed for the Persian Gulf through the Suez Canal accompanied by an Israeli missile ship (not identified) and the German missile frigate FGS Hessen F221.

For five days and night, the Truman's sixty F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter bombers took off on simulated bombing missions against targets set up by the Israeli Air Force at its firing range on the Nevatim Base-28, in the Negev desert southeast of Be'er Sheva - one of its three big air bases.
The exercise was prompted by rising tensions from Syria's deployment of advanced Scud missiles for Hizballah on its border with Lebanon. it took place not far from the spot where Israeli commandos subsequently raided the Turkish Mavi Marmara on May 31.
The Super Hornets flew simulated bombing missions night and day against targets set up by the Israeli Air Force at its firing range on the Nevatim Base-28, in the Negev desert southeast of Be'er Sheva - one of three big Israeli air facilities.
The exercise had 60 American F-16 fighter jets landing at Israeli Air Force facilities from bases in Germany and Romania, refueling and taking off with Israeli fighter bombers to practice long-range bombing missions over the Red Sea and the Mediterranean and drill air-to-air combat along the way.
Both Washington and Jerusalem withheld public exposure of this US-Israeli aerial exercise, dubbed Juniper Stallion 2010. President Barack Obama ordered all US missile interceptors in the Middle East to go on war alert!! in the second week of June, including batteries aboard US Sixth Fleet vessels on the Mediterranean and the US Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf.
debkafile's military sources add that Israel's missile's shield, including Arrow anti-missile missiles, was similarly on standby.
It was decided at the White House to stage the Juniper Stallion exercise only eight months after Juniper Cobra 10, the biggest joint war maneuver the US and Israel had ever conducted against missile attack, after receiving new intelligence that Iran, Syria and Hizballah had almost doubled their operational armory of medium-range missiles.
Switching over to a tough line, US defense secretary Robert Gates warned a Senate panel on June 18 that Iran could fire "scores or hundreds" of short- and medium-range missiles against Europe - in salvoes rather than one or two at a time.
Four days later, Gates told a Fox interviewer: "I don't think we're prepared to even talk about containing a nuclear Iran. I think… our view still is we do not accept the idea of Iran having nuclear weapons." Asked whether a military strike was preferable, he said all options remain on the table although some time is left for working on problem."

Iranian threats over Gaza keep USS Truman carrier in Mediterranean
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report June 16, 2010, 12:50 PM (GMT+02:00)

 

The USS Harry S. Truman carrier, complete with its strike group of 60 warplanes and 6,000 seamen, has been ordered to turn course from the Persian Gulf and deploy with the US Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean for the time being, debkafile's military and Washington sources report. The administration's decision was prompted by incoming intelligence attesting to heightened marine and military tensions between Israel, Turkey and Iran, in the wake of the Turkish premier Recep Erdogan's determination to give his screws on Israel another turn - or two.

He was solidly backed up from Tehran Wednesday, June 16, by parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani, who threatened military retaliation against Persian Gulf and Mediterranean shipping for any interference with the vessels Iran was sending to the Gaza Strip. He did not specify what kind they were.

In Jerusalem, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman asserted that Israel would no longer respect these vessels as promoted by aid agencies because they were obviously dispatched by outright enemies with hostile intent thinly disguised as humanitarian efforts. 

Erdogan is planning more provocative sea convoys for Gaza and the severance of diplomatic relations.
