Bombs Over Iran--April Fools? But Who Is The Joke On?

A week ago, I reported on speculation that Iran might be the recipient of unwanted attention from the community of high explosives, this month.

Finally, mainstream web news is catching up to that story. The speculation appears to be originating from various Russian sources. Debka File, a highly speculative news and comment site, is full of stories that orbit around the possibility of a coalition strike against Iran--if the UK sailors and marines are not released promptly.

The much speculated upon attack would reportedly take the form of twelve consecutive hours of precision bombings and pinpoint cruise missile attacks--directed against Iranian nuclear sites and other strategic military and infrastructure targets.

Iran has put on a recent marathon diplomatic mission to all its arab neighbor states, to obtain guarantees that they would not allow the US to launch airstrikes against Tehran from their territories. Apparently the Iranians are unaware that the US does not need to launch from arab or Turkish territories to strike a crippling blow against Iran.

Needless to say, the price of oil and gas would skyrocket after such an attack, for at least several weeks. It is not unlikely that terror cells are waiting for such an attack before carrying out their programmed sequence of terror strikes.

Bloody dictatorships have been common in the middle east, historically. With the current worldwide tide of jihad rising, Iran's leaders must consider themselves somehow in the vanguard of history. But then, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Saddam felt the same way, in their time.
