U.S. Jets Buzz Iran Airspace

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1313338/posts

WASHINGTON – U.S. military warplanes flew over Iranian air space, raising Tehran's concerns preparations are being made to knock out its nuclear facilities, according to Iranian news media reports.

The U.S. jets reportedly flew out of bases in Afghanistan and Iraq, with the latest coming Saturday when a fighter buzzed at low altitude an area in the northeastern province of Khorrasan, which borders Afghanistan.

Other reports of overflights cited intrusions by F-16 and F-18 fighters over the southwestern province of Khuzestan, which borders southern Iraq. Papers said the planes appeared to be spying on nuclear sites.

U.S. Jets Buzz Iran Airspace

If this is true and not paranoia (since the ultimate source is an Iranian), this would be classic. Probe the radar responses, ID the comms links and nodes coordinating the tracking, note any tacair response. Note also that TWO directions are indicated - bases in Iraq and Afganistan! Someone would think the vise is being tightened slightly.
