Alleged Dick Cheney Call Coordinating Israeli Pre‑Gulf War Air Strike Plans

Alleged Dick Cheney Call Coordinating Israeli Pre‑Gulf War Air Strike Plans The passage claims a direct phone call from former U.S. Defense Secretary Dick Cheney to an Israeli official (Misha) coordinating timing of U.S. air strikes and outlines secret Israeli diplomatic channels involving Mossad’s ‘7evel’ unit, Ephraim Halevy, and Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir. If true, it provides a concrete lead (date, participants, and a specific communication) that could be pursued through interview records, phone logs, or classified archives, linking high‑level U.S. and Israeli officials to covert war‑planning. The claim is not widely reported, offering moderate novelty, but lacks corroborating evidence, so its investigative usefulness is limited to verification steps. Key insights: Dick Cheney allegedly called on Jan 16, 1991 to set a “h‑hour” for U.S. strikes.; Israeli coordination of air‑mobile division to target Iraqi Scud launchers.; Mossad unit “7evel” described as a shadow foreign ministry for back‑channel diplomacy.
