/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Pentagon has prepared a strike plan on Iran,
senior American military officers told The Jerusalem Post. They
also confirmed that they support President George W. Bush’s stance
to do everything necessary to stop the Islamic Republic’s race for
nuclear power.

Predictions within the U.S. military are that Bush will do what is
needed to stop Teheran before he leaves office in 2009, including
possibly launching a military strike against its nuclear facilities.

According to a high-ranking American military officer, the U.S. Navy
and Air Force would play the primary roles in any military action
taken against Iran. One idea under consideration is a naval blockade
designed to cut off Iran’s oil exports.

On Sunday, Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut said the U.S. should
consider a military strike against Iran over its support of Iraqi
insurgents. "I think we’ve got to be prepared to take aggressive
military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing
Americans in Iraq," he said.

At the end of May two U.S. aircraft carriers arrived in the Persian
Gulf to participate in maneuvers.
