U.S. Prepares Military Blitz Against Iran's Nuclear Sites
(Sunday Telegraph-UK) Philip Sherwell - Strategists at the Pentagon are drawing up plans for devastating bombing raids backed by submarine-launched ballistic missile attacks against Iran's nuclear sites as a "last resort" to block Teheran's efforts to develop an atomic bomb. Central Command and Strategic Command planners are identifying targets, assessing weapon-loads, and working on logistics for an operation to thwart the Islamic republic's nuclear bomb ambitions. "This is more than just the standard military contingency assessment," said a senior Pentagon adviser. "This has taken on much greater urgency in recent months." "There is only one thing worse than the United States exercising a military option and that is a nuclear-armed Iran," Sen. John McCain said recently.
