Iran bombers attack Our Boys
IRANIAN forces are being choppered over the Iraqi border to bomb Our Boys, intelligence chiefs say.
Military experts claim this worrying move means we are at WAR with Iran in all but name.
Last night an intelligence source told The Sun: “It is an extremely alarming development and raises the stakes considerably. In effect, it means we are in a full on war with Iran — but nobody has officially declared it.
“We have hard proof that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have crossed the border to attack us.
“It is very hard for us to strike back. All we can do is try to defend ourselves. We are badly on the back foot.” *
Our Boys picked up the Iranian helicopters on radar crossing into empty desert.
The sightings have been confirmed to The Sun by very senior military sources.
At least two Brit squaddies are thought to have been killed by bombs planted during these incursions into Maysan province — Corporal Ben Leaning, 24, and Trooper Kristen Turton, 27.
A further 44 British deaths have also been linked to the highly advanced bombs, rockets and mortars which originated in Iran.
Coming so swiftly after the kidnap of 15 Royal Navy sailors in the Gulf, our revelation will send strained relations between London and Tehran plummeting further.

Iran bombers attack Our Boys That this report is being released by the tabloid Sun has generated some questions regarding the accuracy and truthfulness of the article. OTOH, this would fit the pattern - Brits/US showing signs of weakness, the threat of expanded operations supported by Iran, Mookie showing back up in Iraq after hiding in Iran, increased Iranian support of terrorists in Lebanon, Gaza, etc. Iran may think that we lack the will to respond agressively and are believing their own propaganda. Time will tell.
REST AREA BOMB THREAT
DELAWARE, Ohio - A rest area along I-71 just south of Delaware was evacuated and closed for hours as investigators blew up an apparent pipe bomb.
A trucker found the foot-long PVC pipe attached to a support bar of his truck. The pipe was approximately a foot long and capped on both ends. It was attached to the truck with plastic ties.
Written on the pipe were the words, "Pipe bomb. Call 911. Ready to explode."
The bomb squad used their detonating robot to remove the pipe and blow it up. Inside, they found the registration papers for the truck. Investigators say someone may have written on the container as a hoax.
After further investigation the rest stop was re-opened about 9:30 p.m.
