Ritter: US will target Iran next
Press TV
April 29, 2008
Former UN weapons inspector in Iraq Scott Ritter claims the United States is undoubtedly planning a military strike against Iran.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that the United States is planning right now, as we speak, a military strike against Iran. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and almost every senior US military official has pretty much acknowledged the same,” he told Democracy Now on Monday.
“We take a look at the military buildup, we take a look at the rhetoric, we take a look at the diplomatic posturing, and I would say that it’s a virtual guarantee that there will be a limited aerial strike against Iran in the not-so-near future-or not-so-distant future, that focuses on the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps,” Ritter claimed.
Earlier in April, Ritter asserted that there was an 80 percent chance of a US war with Iran.
Ritter added that the preparations for such a conflict has been steadily developing and involves Congress as well as the Bush administration.
According to Ritter, a war with Iran would speed up the ongoing decline of US standing in the world subsequently leading to Russia and China’s readiness to take advantage of the resulting power vacuum.
’Israel preparing to bomb Iran N-sites’

April 29, 2008
The commander of the Israeli Air Force says the regime’s decision makers have been preparing plans to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities.
General Eliezer Shkedi, who also heads the Israeli task force on Iran, made the remarks in an interview with “60 Minutes” on Sunday.
A large portion of Shkedi’s service has been dedicated to the preparation for a possible mission that was never discussed in public; an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, should international economic sanctions fail, Israeli daily Ha’aretz reported on Monday.
Shkedi spoke of a mission in 1981, when Israeli war planes attacked a nuclear reactor in Iraq.
He went on to say that today the Israeli decision makers are faced with a similar choice about Iran’s nuclear program.
Israeli and US officials accuse Iran of seeking nuclear bombs.
Iran, a member of the IAEA and a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), maintains that its nuclear activates are solely aimed at peaceful purposes.
Tehran has warned Tel Aviv of a crushing response, in case the regime launches an attack on the Islamic Republic.
’All options on table against Iran’
Press TV
April 28, 2008
The Zionist regime says it is pondering all options against Iran, accusing the Islamic Republic of pursuing a nuclear weapons program.
The Israeli Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz said late Sunday Iran must be prevented from gaining nuclear weapons, adding that all options were on the table against Tehran, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Mofaz made the remark as he headed a delegation to Washington for talks on the Israel-US Strategic Dialogue.
“Teheran leads the axis of evil, poses a threat to the entire world, is up to its neck in the Middle East and is even trying to get a foothold in the West Bank,” he claimed.
Iran says that as a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which allows its members to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, it is following a peaceful nuclear program within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and NPT regulations.
This is while the Zionist regime has so far refused to join the NPT and refused to allow any inspections whatsoever of its vast nuclear facilites by competent international agencies such as the IAEA.
Furthermore, the Zionist regime happens to be up to its neck in causing all the problems, conflicts and human sufferings in the Middle East.
Hundreds of innocent men, women and children in occupied Palestine are ruthlessly murdered every year by its indiscriminate use of the most lethal weapons ever used against a defenseless civilian population in human history.
