1. If the Israelis are involved in these two explosions, that indicates to me no need whatsoever for the IAF to fly over Iran and drop bombs. It would seem that another means has been figured out. But I am not sure what to make of the cryptic comments from the Israelis, as information warfare and deception are becoming more frequently and subtly used by a lot of different parties. (See the Pakistan/US mess currently underway along the Pak?Afghan border).

2. U2 over flights, Iran. No. I can say that with some operational experience, having worked on some stuff a few years back that included a whole variety of surveillance packages in that part of the world. No further comment.

3. UAV's: heh, part of the reason to use some of those assets is that they are very, very hard to detect. Who knows what assets are being used to keep any eye on Iran's nuclear sites?

4. Don't forget various satellites.

Cheers.
