THE MIDDLE MAN:

Iran Angered Over India's Launch of Israeli Spy Satellite (AFP, 2/05/08)

Iran said Tuesday it had lodged an official complaint with New Delhi over India's commercial launch of an Israeli spy satellite last month.

The satellite, blasted into orbit from southern India on January 21, is reported by the Israeli press to have the ability to see through clouds, carry out day and night all-weather imaging and will be used to spy on Iran's suspect nuclear programme.

Until India brokers the rapproachment it's in a difficult position.
