WikiLeaks: Red Crescent smuggled weapons for Irancontinue
Various secret documents released on Iran, showing Mossad chief wanted to enlist Iranian opposition groups to revolt against government while Arab leaders, including Mubarak, asked US to stop nuclear program with military strike
Secret documents leaked by the controversial Web entity WikiLeaks say Iran used ambulances to smuggle weapons into Lebanon during Hezbollah's 2006 war with Israel.
Additional documents exposed Sunday say Mossad chief Meir Dagan suggested the US make use of local fringe groups to try and topple the Iranian regime.
Other documents show that Iran had acquired far more advanced missiles than the US had previously supposed it had in its arsenal.
According to a memo from August 2007, Dagan described to Under-Secretary of State Nicholas Burns the five pillars of Israel's Iran policy, among them the desire to spark a revolution.
The memo says Dagan wanted to enlist the student unions supporting democratic views in order to undermine the government's rule, the British Guardian reported Sunday.
The Mossad chief also wanted to enlist local ethnic minorities to the task, including the Kurds and Balochis. These groups – especially the Balochis – have carried out terror attacks in Tehran for which the Islamic Republic has consistently blamed Israel.
'Ambulances used to smuggle weapons'
Other documents say Iran used Red Crescent ambulances to smuggle intelligence agents and weapons into Lebanon during the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
According to the British Guardian, an Iranian source told US diplomats that the ambulance crews helped Revolutionary Guards officers infiltrate other states in the region as well, including Iraq. The Red Crescent has denied the reports.
The source, who is affiliated with the Red Crescent, told the Americans that Iranian secret agents sent aid to Hezbollah in this manner which was military, not medical. Special agents from elite units were smuggled into the country thus.
The medical supplies, the documents quote him as saying, were just a cover for weapons, some of which included missiles smuggled on
airplanes. The source said he had seen one plane more than half full of weapons before the medical supplies were placed on board.

If you read the documents, its the ARABS who want the US to attack Iran. But don't look for the anti-Israel crowd to highlight it.
