• The Guardian reported that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has urged the United States on several occasions to launch military strikes against Iran to destroy its nuclear facilities. Citing one diplomatic cable, Abdullah told U.S. Gen. David Petraeus in April 2008 that the U.S. needed to "cut off the head of the snake" by attacking Iran. The cable said the Saudi king had "frequently exhorted the U.S. to attack Iran to put an end to its nuclear weapons program."
• U.S. intelligence believes Iran has obtained advanced missiles from North Korea capable of striking Europe. A diplomatic cable dated Feb. 24, said "secret American intelligence assessments have concluded that Iran has obtained a cache of advanced missiles, based on a Russian design." Iran obtained 19 of the North Korean missiles, an improved version of Russia's R-27, from North Korea, the cable said, and was "taking pains to master the technology in an attempt to build a new generation of missiles."
