Retired colonel claims U.S. military operations are already 'underway'
in Iran
Ron Brynaert, Published: Saturday April 15, 2006
During an interview on CNN Friday night (link to original CNN
transcript page at http://tinyurl.com/zr3qz), retired U.S. Air Force
Colonel Sam Gardiner claimed that U.S. military operations are already
'underway' inside Iran, RAW STORY has found.
"I would say -- and this may shock some -- I think the decision has
been made and military operations are under way," Col. Gardiner told
CNN International anchor Jim Clancy (as noted by Digby at the blog
Hullabaloo, see http://tinyurl.com/qrwng).

Gardiner, who designed a war game in November of 2004 for Atlantic
Magazine (see original article at http://tinyurl.com/dykvx) which
simulated "preparations for a U.S. assault on Iran," also claimed that
Aliasghar Soltaniyeh, the Iranian ambassador to the United Nation's
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told him a few weeks ago
that units who had attacked the Revolutionary Guard had been captured
and confessed to working with Americans.
"The secretary point is, the Iranians have been saying American
military troops are in there, have been saying it for almost a year,"
Gardiner said. "I was in Berlin two weeks ago, sat next to the
ambassador, the Iranian ambassador to the IAEA. And I said, 'Hey, I
hear you're accusing Americans of being in there operating with some of
the units that have shot up revolution guard units.'"
"He said, quite frankly, 'Yes, we know they are. We've captured some of
the units, and they've confessed to working with the Americans,'" said
the retired Air Force colonel.
Last Thursday, Raw Story's Larisa Alexandrovna reported (On Cheney,
Rumsfeld order, US outsourcing special ops, intelligence to Iraq terror
group, intelligence officials say, see original article at
http://tinyurl.com/qdaya) that, according to former and current
intelligence officials, the Pentagon has been using a right-wing
terrorist organization known as Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK) as an
operational asset "to create strife in Iran in preparation for any
possible attack."
"[I]nstead of securing a known terrorist organization, which has been
responsible for acts of terror against Iranian targets and individuals
all over the world - including US civilian and military casualties
- Rumsfeld under instructions from Cheney, began using the group on
special ops missions into Iran to pave the way for a potential Iran
strike," Larisa reported.
"They are doing whatever they want, no oversight at all," an
intelligence source told Larisa.
Larisa reported that the MEK soldiers were told to "quit" their
organization and were "renamed" in accordance with a plan conceived by
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld so that they could be "converted"
into a military special ops team.
According to a UN official close to the Security Council whom Larisa
interviewed, the "newly renamed MEK soldiers" were being employed in
the place of U.S. military advance teams to commit "acts of violence in
hopes of staging an insurgency of the Iranian Sunni population."
"We are already at war," the UN official told RAW STORY.
