Bomb Bomb Iran

SOYMB has mentioned before the strong possibility of war on Iran and that in the words of Scottish CND “It is clear that the US government continues to beat the drums of war over Iran, most recently in the statements of Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. It is depressingly similar to the rhetoric we heard prior to the war in Iraq in 2003.”

The Sunday Times , not content with the usual scare-mongering of Iran's potential nuclear weapon threat , adds that Iran ( but also using its weasel get-out clause "or elements in Iran" ) is now actively supporting the Taliban in Afghanistan with military training .

In the Sunday Herald we read that hundreds of powerful US “bunker-buster” bombs are being shipped to the British island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean in preparation for a possible attack on Iran. 387 “Blu” bombs used for blasting hardened or underground structures such as Iran's nuclear development installations.

“They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran,” said Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London. “US bombers are ready today to destroy 10,000 targets in Iran in a few hours,” he added.
