Ignoring the West's requests: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Increasingly powerful voices in the U.S. are urging war against Iran to stop the country acquiring nuclear weapons. This week, in his Mansion House foreign policy speech, Gordon Brown declared the U.S. to be Britain's greatest ally and stressed that Iran's nuclear programme was a matter of concern. But how could the West actually destroy Iran's nuclear capability? Here, one of our leading academics on war and terrorism warns that some in the Bush camp are considering a very dangerous option...
To see how an attack on Iran might begin and then play out is not difficult.
Sceptical public opinion in the West simply won't buy any intelligencebased claims of an imminent Iranian nuclear threat after the lies that were presented at the UN to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
And since 2004, the CIA has virtually no agents operating in Iran anyway, certainly-none able to substantiate intelligence derived from electronic surveillance and satellites.
Any attack is therefore likely to be justified by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) going off somewhere in Iraq, which kills a significant number of U.S. servicemen, and has the hallmark of Iranian involvement all over it.
A parallel might be the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia which killed 19 U.S. soldiers and was shown to be backed by Iran. No comments No trackbacks
