Iranian Sunni Opposition Group: Iran Is Planning to Attack the Gulf Countries
[MEMRI] On Oct. 5, 2009, Alarabiya.net posted an interview with an Arab Ahwazi man who was presented as a former undercover agent for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. He claimed that 40,000 well-trained operatives, mostly Shi'ites, are in the service of Iran in the Arab Gulf states - 3,000 in Kuwait alone. This is in line with a July 14, 2009, intelligence report by the Ahwazi Islamic Sunni Organization (www.sonnaalahwaz.org) claiming that, according to classified Iranian Air Force information, Iran has a comprehensive military plan to attack the Gulf countries using the MiG-31 aircraft that it had purchased from Syria. Thus, it said, Iran is preparing secret airports and camps in Ahwaz province, as well as forces in the northwest of the province, in order to attack Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.
