Israel's Deception Artists Now Claim 'Iran-North Korea' Collaboration Endangers World Peace. But What About the Israeli Terror State's 400 Nukes

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned Tuesday that North Korea and Iran could pose a danger to both Asia and the Middle East, amid allegations of their military cooperation.

"Iran is at the forefront of the 'axis of evil' and alongside North Korea constitutes a danger for the stability of Asia and the Near East," Olmert told Japanese Defence Minister Shigeru Ishiba, according to the premier's spokesman.

The spokesman, Yanki Galente, declined to comment on a Japanese press report that Olmert would share with Tokyo intelligence showing Pyongyang's military cooperation with Iran and Syria.

But a high-ranking Israeli official, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said Olmert had provided Japanese authorities with information on North Korean sales of ballistic missiles to Iran.

Japan has tense relations with North Korea, which fired a missile over Japan's main island in 1998.

"Japan has concerns over North Korea's nuclear proliferation and so we hope to cooperate more with Israel on this issue," Ishiba told Olmert, according to a Japanese defence ministry official.

Israel has called for a tough line on Iran over its nuclear drive. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly lashed out at the Jewish state and questioned the extent of the Holocaust. More
