Intelligence indications and warnings abound as Bush administration
finalizes military attack on Iran.

Intelligence and military sources in the United States and abroad are
reporting on various factors that indicate a U.S. military hit on
Iranian nuclear and military installations, that may involve tactical
nuclear weapons, is in the final stages of preparation.

Likely targets for saturation bombing are the Bushehr nuclear power
plant (where Russian and other foreign national technicians are
present), a uranium mining site in Saghand near the city of Yazd, the
uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, a heavy water plant and
radioisotope facility in Arak, the Ardekan Nuclear Fuel Unit, the
Uranium Conversion Facility and Nuclear Technology Center in Isfahan,
the Tehran Nuclear Research Center, the Tehran Molybdenum, Iodine and
Xenon Radioisotope Production Facility, the Tehran Jabr Ibn Hayan
Multipurpose Laboratories, the Kalaye Electric Company in the Tehran
suburbs, a reportedly dismantled uranium enrichment plant in Lashkar
Abad, and the Radioactive Waste Storage Units in Karaj and Anarak.

Primary target: Bushehr nuclear reactor and hundreds of Russian
technicians

Other first targets would be Shahab-I, II, and III missile launch
sites, air bases (including the large Mehrabad air base/international
airport near Tehran), naval installations on the Persian Gulf and
Caspian Sea, command, control, communications and intelligence
facilities.

Secondary targets would include civilian airports, radio and TV
installations, telecommunications centers, government buildings,
conventional power plants, highways and bridges, and rail lines.

Oil installations and commercial port facilities would likely be
relatively untouched by U.S. forces in order to preserve them for U.S.
oil and business interests.

There has been a rapid increase in training and readiness at a number
of U.S. military installations involved with the planned primarily
aerial attack.

These include a Pentagon order to Fort Rucker, Alabama, to be prepared
to handle an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 trainees, including civilian
contractors, who will be deployed for Iranian combat operations. Rucker
is home to the US Army's aviation training command, including the
helicopter training school.

In addition, there has been an increase in readiness at nearby Hurlburt
Field in Florida, the home of the U.S. Air Force Special Operations
Command.

The U.S. attack on Iran will primarily involve aviation (Navy, Air
Force, Navy-Marine Corps) and special operations assets.

There has also been a noticeable increase in activity at Marine Corps
Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California, a primary
live fire training activity located in a desert and mountainous
environment similar to target areas in Iran.

From European intelligence agencies comes word that the United States

has told its NATO allies to be prepared for a military strike on
Iranian nuclear development and military installations.

On November 17, 2005, Russian President Vladimir Putin spent seven
hours in secret discussions with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan during the the opening ceremonies in Samsun, Turkey for the
Russian Turkish underwater Blue Stream natural gas pipeline,
festivities also attended by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

According to sources knowledgeable about the meeting, Erdogan promised
Putin, who has become a close friend, that Turkey would not support the
use of its bases by the United States in a military attack on Iran.

That brought a series of high level visits to Turkey by Bush
administration officials, including CIA chief Porter Goss, FBI Director
Robert Mueller, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Although Erdogan listened to Goss's and Rice's pleas for Turkish
logistical, political, and intelligence help for an attack on Iran and
Turkish Army Chief Yasar Buyukanit heard much the same from Pentagon
officials during his recent trip to Washington, the word is that Putin
now has enough clout in Ankara to scuttle any use of Turkey by the U.S.
for an attack on Iran.

[Mueller delivered Ankara intelligence "proof" of Iranian backing for
Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) guerrillas in Turkey. Intelligence
agencies and business intelligence units around the world are now
discounting any intelligence coming from the Bush administration as
neocon propaganda invented by think tanks and discredited intelligence
agencies in Washington, Tel Aviv-Herzliya, and Jerusalem].

A U.S. Attack on Iran: The Perfect Storm for wider nuclear conflict

U.S. political and military officials have also approached Bahrain,
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, Oman, and Azerbaijan seeking their
support for a U.S.

attack on Iran. Ina replay of the phony pre war intelligence on Iraq,
Washington is trying to convince various countries that a link exists
between Iran and "Al Qaeda."

Polish intelligence sources report that Poland's Defense Minister Radek
Sikorski assured Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld of Poland's support
for any U.S. strike against Iran.

Sikorski is a former American Enterprise Institute colleague of such
neo cons as Richard Perle, Michael Ledeen, and Lynne Cheney, the
so-called "Second Lady" of the United States.

Sikorski and Polish Foreign Minister Stefan Meller assured Rumsfeld and
Rice, respectively, that Poland would stand by the United States during
the split in NATO that will occur as a result of the American strike.

Polish intelligence sources, who are unhappy with the arrangement of
the new right wing government in Warsaw with the Bush administration,
leaked the information about the recent U.S. demarche to NATO in
Brussels about preparation for the attack.

Similar intelligence "leaks" about the U.S. attack plans were also
leaked to the German magazine Der Spiegel.

European intelligence sources also report that the recent decision by
Putin and Russia's state owned Gazprom natural gas company to cut
supplied of natural gas to Ukraine was a clear warning by Putin to
nations like Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Croatia, Moldova, France, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Bosnia,
Serbia, and Germany that it would do the same if they support the U.S.
attack on Iran.

Gazprom natural gas is supplied, via pipelines in Ukraine, from Russia
and Turkmenistan to countries in Eastern and Western Europe. The Bush
administration charged Russia with using gas supplies as a "political
tool."

Putin has additional leverage on Western Europe since former German
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder accepted an appointment to the board of a
joint Russian German North European Gas Pipeline Consortium that is
controlled by Gazprom.

The pipeline will bring Russian gas to Scandinavia, Germany,
Netherlands, and Britain, giving Putin additional leverage over
Washington in Europe.

Southeast Asian intelligence sources report that Burma's (Myanmar's)
recent abrupt decision to move its capital from Rangoon (Yangon) to
remote Pyinmana, 200 miles to the north, is a result of Chinese
intelligence warnings to its Burmese allies about the effects of
radiation resulting from a U.S. conventional or tactical nuclear attack
on Iranian nuclear facilities.

There is concern that a series of attacks on Iranian nuclear
installations will create a Chernobyl-like radioactive cloud that would
be caught up in monsoon weather in the Indian Ocean.

Rangoon (Yangon) capital moved 200 miles north over fears of monsoon
season Iran nuclear fallout?

Low-lying Rangoon lies in the path of monsoon rains that would continue
to carry radioactive fallout from Iran over South and Southeast Asia
between May and October.

Coastal Indian Ocean cities like Rangoon, Dhaka, Calcutta, Mumbai,
Chennai, and Colombo would be affected by the radioactive fallout more
than higher elevation cities since humidity intensifies the effects of
the fallout. Thousands of government workers were given only two days'
notice to pack up and leave Rangoon for the higher (and dryer)
mountainous Pyinmana.

In neighboring West Bengal, the leftist government and its national
leftist allies around the country are planning massive demonstrations
during Bush's upcoming trip to India.

They are protesting the war in Iraq as well as the threats against
Iran.

Reports from Yemen indicate that western oil companies are concerned
about U.S. intentions in Iran since the southern Arabian country
catches the edge of the monsoon rains that could contain radioactive
fallout from an attack, endangering their workers in the country.

The Bush administration aborted last minute plans to attack Iranian
nuclear and political installations prior to the 2004 presidential
election. On October 9, Rumsfeld met with defense minister colleagues
on the now decommissioned USS John F. Kennedy in the Persian Gulf to
seek support for the attack.

That meeting has been confirmed by the Danish Defense Minister who was
in attendance, however, the topic of the meeting was not discussed.
According to U.S. naval personnel on board the Kennedy, a special "war
room" was set up to coordinate the attack.

Britain, Australia, Italy, Netherlands, and Japan did not attend the
meeting because of their opposition to the attack plans.

Intelligence and military officials around the world are also bracing
for the results of a U.S. attack on Iran.

This includes the distinct possibility of a major Shia retaliatory
attack in Iraq, the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain,
the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, and Afghanistan against U.S.
military, diplomatic, and economic targets in the region.

Radioactive fallout from a conventional or tactical nuclear attack on
Iran will result in major problems with Pakistan, India, China, Russia,
Japan, and other downwind countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim,
possibly including the fall of the Pervez Musharraf government in
Pakistan and replacement by a radical Islamist regime having possession
of nuclear weapons.

That would provoke a military response from nuclear power India.

In a counter attack, Iran would immediately launch its Shahab I and II
missiles at the U.S. Green Zone in Baghdad, the Al Udeid airbase in
Qatar, the US Navy base in Bahrain, Camp Doha base in Kuwait, Al Seeb
airbase in Oman, Baghdad International Airport, the U.S. base in
Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Iran would also launch its long range Shahab III missiles on the
Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba, Eilat, and the Israeli
nuclear complex at Dimona. Iranian missiles would also be launched at
US naval ships in the Persian Gulf and oil installations in Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait.

The virtual end of NATO as a viable defense organization may also
result from an attack that will drive a final wedge between Washington
and Europe.

And China may elect to respond financially and militarily against the
United States since Iran is China's second largest source of imported
Middle East oil after Saudi Arabia and plans to use an Iranian terminal
for the export of natural gas from Turkmenistan.

[China now imports 60 percent of its oil needs, and Iran represents 17
percent of those imports].

Russia recently participated in, through the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization (SCO), a three-way military exercise (code named "Indira
2005") between Russia, China, and India to prepare for any new U.S.
power projections in Asia, including an attack on Iran, a prospective
SCO member. Last August, Russia and China held their first-ever joint
land-sea-air military exercises.

Iran also held a large military exercise in early December in Bandar
Abbas on the Gulf. An Iranian C-130 carrying Iranian journalists from
Mehrabad airport to Bandar to cover the exercise crashed into a Tehran
apartment building on December 6, killing at least 116 people,
including 68 journalists.

Within the U.S. military and across the globe, there is heightened
tension about the intentions of the neocon Bush administration and its
allies in Israel.
