U.S. EITHER PREPARES OPERATION AGAINST IRAN OR INTIMIDATES TEHRAN
American troops are concentrating near the Persian Gulf, which arouses anxiety of possible military actions by the U.S. against Iran.
More and more American tankers are making for the Persian Gulf. Two aircraft-carrier groups and marines landing warships arrived to the region. “Patriot” anti-aircraft missiles are transported to Kuwait, most probably for the fight against Iranian aviation, PanARMENIAN.Net reported, citing BBC Russian service.
Pentagon specialist on military planning Sam Gardner said that signs of preparing a massive military operation are evident. “The United States is on the way to strike Iran. All necessary elements are being deployed on battle positions. I don’t think that final decision to strike Iran is made, though. We see either preparations for such a decision, or efforts to intimidate Iranians,” he said.
Analysts say that by doing this Washington tries to make Tehran stop interference practice in Iraq, because of which, as the U.S. leaders think, American soldiers die there every day. The U.S. also wants to make Iran refuse from efforts to produce nuclear weapons. In his part Tehran categorically rejects all accusations, insisting that Iran has no relations to what is going on in Iraq and that his nuclear program is exclusively of peace character.
New Yorker weekly corespondent Seymour Hersh says that the U.S. Pentagon has set up a special planning group to coordinate possible attacks on Iran. Hersh, quoting unnamed sources, added that the group would plan raids to be carried out within 24 hours of a presidential order for military action. The article also says that covert intelligence-gathering inside Iran had been stepped up in recent months, with special operations groups entering from Iraq to pursue Iranians suspected of working against US interests.
An administration representative immediately denied all results of this journalistic investigation. But Senate Armed Services Committee member Carl Levin insists on holding hearings in this regard. He said that suppositions in the article that the U.S. administration is planning various secret operations in the Middle East without informing the Congress are extremely anxious.
Nevertheless, observers in the United States are sure that the American army that has stuck in Iraq and Afghanistan is not capable to launch military operations in one more country, and the war against Iran will not become a reality.
