Russian intelligence believes that the U.S. Armed Forces have nearly
completed preparations for a possible military operation against Iran,
and will be ready to strike in early April, the RIA-Novosti news
agency reported on Friday quoting an unnamed source in the Russian
security services.
The source said the U.S. had already compiled a list of possible
targets on Iranian territory and practiced the operation during recent
exercises in the Persian Gulf.
`Russian intelligence has information that the U.S. Armed Forces
stationed in the Persian Gulf have nearly completed preparations for a
missile strike against Iranian territory,’ the source said.
American commanders will be ready to carry out the attack in early
April, but it will be up to the country’s political leadership to
decide if and when to attack, the source said.
Official data says America’s military presence in the region has
reached the level of March 2003 when the U.S. invaded Iraq.
The U.S. is threatening Tehran with a military operation over Iran’s
refusal to abandon its nuclear program.
The UN Security Council passed a new resolution on Iran Saturday
toughening economic sanctions against the country and accepting the
possibility of a military solution to the crisis.
