“ It’s news to YOU <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The now documented
movement of US and Israeli military assets are setting the stage for an imminent Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
A US-based strategic intelligence company has released a chart showing US naval carriers massing near Iranian waters.
The chart, published by Stratfor and obtained by the Zero Hedge financial blog, shows that over the last few weeks a naval carrier -- the USS Harry S Truman -- has been positioned in the north Indian Ocean, not far from the Strait of Hormuz, which leads into the Persian Gulf. The carrier joins the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was already located in the area. The chart is dated June 23, 2010.
Reports of mass
movements of Israeli and US naval warships have been circulating through the
media for weeks. On June 19, the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz
reported that 12 US and Israeli warships were seen moving
through the Suez Canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea.
And a report from
the Associated Press published Saturday evening cited "unconfirmed"
reports from Israeli and Iranian media that Saudi Arabia has allowed Israel to
use its territory in preparation for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.
"The
allegation could not be independently confirmed, and the Saudis deny
cooperating with the Israeli military," AP reported.
An article in
the Gulf Daily News, largely dismissed by Western observers, did not mention
any Saudi involvement but said Israel is preparing to attack Iranian targets
from the former Soviet republics of Azerbaijan and Georgia.
Perhaps Israel was
waiting to read the mood and tenor of the G-8 countries during their recent
meeting? The outspoken Italian Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi might have provided an answer, when he told
reporters at the G8 summit in Canada that:
G8 leaders "believe
absolutely" that
Israel will "probably"
strike Iran.
Iran is not guaranteeing
a peaceful production
of nuclear power.
[so] the members of the G8
are worried and
believe absolutely that
Israel will probably react
preemptively. [Ha'aretz]
This adds credibility
to the persistent reports that Israel may be preparing for an assault on
Iranian nuclear facilities in July or August.
The straws are in
the breeze; the carriers are in the Sea; the bombers are on the tarmac and
"the answer, my
friend, is blowin' in the wind."
