Col. Gen. Leonid Ivashov,
president of the Academy for Geopolitical Problems, a Russian think tank, still
believes that the US attack on Iranian nuclear sites is coming before the end of
April.
"Preparations to strike Iran's strategic facilities continue," Col. Gen. Leonid Ivashov, president of the Academy for Geopolitical Problems, a Russian think tank, told Moscow-based news service Interfax. "Three major groups of U.S. forces are still in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. Altogether, they have up to 450 cruise missiles on alert."
"Military operations against Tehran will begin with the launch of at least two unexpected strikes using Tomahawk cruise missiles and air power in order to disable Iran's air-defense capabilities."
"According to our data, up to 150 aircraft are to be involved in each strike on Iran. Land-based air-defense systems will be disabled in the first place, then mobile short-range systems, which Tehran has (including some 30 new systems)," he said. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55088
Ivashov also claims that nuclear weapons may be used against Iran. "Combat nuclear weapons may be used for bombing. This will result in radioactive contamination of the Iranian territory, which could possibly spread to neighboring countries," he said. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55088
This claim comes on the heels of a very important announcement by Iranian President Ahmadinejad that Iran was now capable of enriching nuclear fuel "on an industrial scale."
"With great honor, I declare that as of today our dear country has joined the nuclear club of nations and can produce nuclear fuel on an industrial scale," Ahmadinejad said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070409/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_nuclear
Whether President Ahmadinejad's assertion is true or not is unknown, but he vows to continue going forward with Iran's nuclear program no matter what the consequences bring.
Yesterday, at a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert extended an invitation to the leaders of the Arab states that many believe should be taken seriously.
"I invite for a meeting all the heads of Arab states - including, of course, the king of Saudi Arabia, who I see as a very important leader - to hold talks with us," Olmert said. "I do not intend to dictate to them what they should say, but I am certain they understand that we also will have something to say." http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1173879238490
Personally, I believe we're very close to witnessing something prophetic in the very near future. Even though peace seems to be so elusive someday it will come to pass.
Will the US strike Iran before months end? I have to say that all the outward signs point in that direction. But it's Iran's response that will dictate the direction of the future.
