ISRAEL, U.S. EXACTING DATE OF ATTACK ON IRAN

The sources added that this attack, which could be in late September or early October, would be a prelude to an expected attack on Iran in November or December. It was also reported that the Israelis informed the Bush administration about the transfer of surface-to-air missiles from Iran to Hezbollah, that the missiles had already been positioned in the Beq'a Valley and at the foot of Mt. Lebanon, and that all Hezbollah missiles were deployed in extensive areas of the country.
