Israeli satellite to spy on Iran
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM

Israel was launching a satellite Tuesday to spy on Iran's nuclear program, an 
Israeli defense official said, as Iran's leader persisted with his calls for 
the Jewish state's destruction. 

Israel has for years regarded Iran as the primary threat to its survival, 
disputing Teheran's claims that its nuclear program is peaceful. Iranian 
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made this threat more tangible by repeatedly 
calling for Israel's annihilation, most recently on Monday, when he said Israel 
was a "fake regime" that "cannot logically continue to live." 

Later Tuesday, Israel planned to launch from Siberia its Eros B satellite, 
designed to spot images on the ground as small as 70 centimeters (27.5 inches), 
the defense official said. That level of resolution would allow Israel to 
gather information on Iran's nuclear program and its long-range missiles, which 
are capable of striking Israel, he said. 

"The most important thing in a satellite is its ability to photograph and its 
resolution," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the 
sensitive subject matter. "This satellite has very high resolution, and 
(state-run) Israel Aircraft Industries has a great ability to process 
information that is relayed." 

If the launch is successful, it will take seven to 10 days to see whether the 
images that are transmitted are sharp and clear, he said. 

Teheran has helped to finance Palestinian terror groups as part of its campaign 
against the Jewish state, and appears to have stepped up funding since Hamas 
swept Palestinian elections in January. 

Iran's threatening comments about Israel had special resonance on Tuesday, 
which Israel marked as Holocaust Remembrance Day. Israeli Nobel peace laureate 
Shimon Peres, in Poland for Holocaust observances, drew a parallel between 
Ahmadinejad and Adolf Hitler. 

"We still haven't recovered from this (the Holocaust) and I still hear these 
calls from Iran to destroy Israel," Peres said. 

Ahmadinejad's words, he added, "are enough to put us all on alert."
