In Israel, meanwhile, the head of the Military Intelligence Research Division, Brig.Gen Yossi Baidatz, warned the cabinet on Sunday that Iran is well on its way to building a nuclear bomb.
Baidatz said Teheran is also strengthening its ties with Hizbullah, Syria and Palestinian terror groups with the aim of becoming the leader of all the radical forces in the Middle East.
"Iran is focusing its efforts in enriching uranium and improving the operational capabilities of its centrifuges," he said adding that the more moderate Arab states remain divided in their wish to act against Iran.

An Israeli intelligence official on Friday accused Russia of transmitting intelligence on Israel to Syria and Iran's Shiite Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah.
Col. Ram Dor, the IDF’s chief of information security, said Russian spy ships are docking in Syrian waters, and that Russians are working at hi-tech eavesdropping stations in Syria, near the Golan Heights, Israel’s daily Yediot Achronot reported.
"My assessment is that their facilities cover most of the state of Israel's territory," Dor said, according to a citation of the report in Reuters. "So if the Russians help the Syrians get information, and the Syrians constantly pass it on to Hezbollah, it is a reasonable supposition that the information gathered by the Russians also reaches Hezbollah's hands."

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday that Iran's military will "break the hand" of anyone targeting his country's nuclear facilities.
The president spoke during a military parade displaying various types of Iranian-made missiles, including Shahab-3 and Ghadr. Also taking part in the parade was a military truck carrying a huge banner saying "Israel should be eliminated from the universe" in both English and Farsi.
"If anyone allows himself to commit even a tiny offense against Iran's legitimate interests, borders and sacred land, our armed forces will break his hand before he pulls the trigger," Ahmadinejad said during the parade.
The phrase "legitimate interests" is Iranian parlance for the country's nuclear program, which the West says is a cover for developing nuclear weapons. Iran, which denies the charge, already is under three sets of sanctions by the U.N. Security Council over the issue.
In Israel, meanwhile, the head of the Military Intelligence Research Division, Brig.Gen Yossi Baidatz, warned the cabinet on Sunday that Iran is well on its way to building a nuclear bomb.
Baidatz said Teheran is also strengthening its ties with Hizbullah, Syria and Palestinian terror groups with the aim of becoming the leader of all the radical forces in the Middle East.
