Israeli special forces are working in Iran to locate the precise sites at which Iran continues to enrich uranium, a British newspaper reported Sunday.

According to the Sunday Times article, the Israeli team is based in northern Iraq and has the support of the United States.

Iran warned Sunday that it will will resume large-scale uranium enrichment if it is referred to the UN Security Council.

"If Iran's nuclear dossier is referred to the UN Security Council, (large scale) uranium enrichment will be resumed," Larijani told a packed news conference.

2. if Israel didn't want that information to come out...

They've had HUMINT assets in there since the days of the Shah. And they've never shied away from back door communications with the government of that nation, no matter who is leading it.

A large population of Iranian Jews reside in Israel with the President of Israel Moshe Katsav, the Defense Minister, former Chief of Staff Shaul Mofaz and Israeli hip-hop star Kobi Shimoni (Subliminal) being the most famous of this group....

5. Have to call 'bullshit' on this.

This article is stating information from another paper that only used "unnamed sources." Could it be true? Anything is possible. However, I find it unlikely that a covert Israeli operation would be THAT easy to uncover. If anything, this is just to "stir shit up."
