The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 AM on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly "Argumenty Nedeli." Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories. The attacks will be mounted from a number of bases, including the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is currently home to B-52 bombers equipped with standoff missiles. Also participating in the air strikes will be US naval aviaton from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, as well as from those of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Additional cruise missiles will be fired from submarines in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of the Arabian peninsula...

I think this is just russia's way of saying, "have a nice day - don't have any anxiety - sleep well..." to their non-paying iranian pals who have of late been embarassing and stealing from them. Doesn't hurt to make them scared.

Sounds like a bad Dale Brown novel. Plausible, militarily possible, the good guys win, but still FICTION.

No, it isn't.

Unless you contend that we all are loyal citizens of the UN instead of our respective countries.

Damn Putin led Russian media seems to announce US military actions every two months.

Maybe they'll get it right at this rate in a few years.

A bit hard to read in French (on the link) and the ENGLISH LANGUAGE version of the site does not have the article ;-)

Fun anyway.

We could tell then what time, what targets, what assets we'll use, even points of origin ... and they'll be powerless to stop the initial strike. PERIOD.

They'll know it's time when all RF spectra are alive with 'music'. Then it's time for them to die, hide, or watch the show-- like CNN at the opening night of Shock and Awe.

"This, is treason."

Nonsense. Any dope with a computer and an objective mindset can find out info of this matter in an evening.
