Iran picks 600 Israeli targets to hit

If Israel or the United States goes after Iran's nuclear program the Iranians, who have long-range surface-to-surface missiles, will attack 600 targets in little Israel.

This warning came from diplomatic sources in Syria and were reported on israelinsider Monday.

Analysts say it appears Iran made the threat in an attempt to stave off western attacks on its nuclear sites.

It comes less than a week after the US pledged to reduce its naval presence in the Gulf, removing two carrier strike groups in the next few weeks and leaving only one in place by August.

The Pentagon insisted that "this change in carrier presence does not reflect a change in commitment or concern for the region. Carrier presence is but one means by which the US engages in the region."
