January 2, 2006 — 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 |

A number of writings have recently appeared with the thesis that the announced plans of the Teheran government to institute a Teheran Oil Bourse, perhaps as early as this month, is the real hidden reason behind the evident march to war on Iran from the Anglo-American powers.
No, the Iran Oil Bourse is not a casus belli…
This article is the WHOLE ENCHILADA
The D.O.D. sure has a great website. You can even listen in on briefings! I am impressed. Needless to say…DefenseLINK News: Rice, Cheney Warn of Iranian Nuclear Threat, Urge U.N. Action
Did I hear Hilary Clinton call for sanctions against Iran? Is everyone going to agree on this one???
In recent developments, CIA Director Porter Goss on a mission to Ankara, requested Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan “to provide political and logistic support for air strikes against Iranian nuclear and military targets.” Goss reportedly asked ” for special cooperation from Turkish intelligence to help prepare and monitor the operation.” (DDP, 30 December 2005)….
The conflict with Iran over their advancing nuclear program has moved gradually toward severe escalation. Iran’s insistence to develop uranium enrichment facilities creates a supply fork. One tine extends legitimately to their electrical generating plants powered by enriched uranium. Another tine extends to a nuclear weapon arsenal, potentially. Russia has assured the West of its primary role to handle spent fuel, the key ingredient for weapon grade material. If the conflict ignites, expect a sudden $10 jump in the crude oil price, maybe even a $30 jump. Iran commands more control over the critical Strait of Hormutz than any other Persian Gulf nation, as Chinese Silkworm missiles are deployed in strategic emplacements. The energy war has numerous skirmishes afoot. However, Iran serves as the focal point for the detonation device on that war. Above board, the United Nations will be involved. Under the table, the Israeli military will be involved. Actual military action could close the Hormuz Straits controlling the Persian Gulf, where a large portion of world oil supply exits…. Hat Trick Letter
Oil at $100 is something we will all wish we had never seen. Protect yourself with gold, for it will follow black gold, or I guess you could even buy oil. What will this effect take on consumer sentiment/spending/80% of our economy? How will those future numbers, along with already declining real estate values affect the eery new highs of the DOW? Nothing happens by accident, and I predict the DOW will top around 11,600, thereby confirming a massive double top on a chart. It will be tlaked about through history, probably more than gold’s massive double bottom.
Are we going to let Iran get the bomb? Of course it would be crazy to think our government and its military would allow such an openly threatening leader who is hostile to Israel, and not to mention directly harbored 9-11 hijackers, is sympathetic to Bin Laden, and could easily provide al-qada with nuclear technology. After all we have to done stop a maniac who didn’t even have WMD, I mean CMON PEOPLE, HOW HARD IS IT TO SEE, REALLY? WHERE IS YOUR BRAINS? THE GOV’T HAS’NT TOLD YOU HOW TO THINK ON THIS ONE, SO YOU DON’T THINK? Iran is making a bomb, and all you who were so passionate about stopping Saddam, a secular Sunni muslim who was hated by our enemy, and now you are silent. WHY? I’m sure in hindsight you may think “I knew Israel had our back the whole time”
….ISRAEL’S armed forces have been ordered by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister, to be ready by the end of March [2006] for possible strikes on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran, military sources have revealed. The order came after Israeli intelligence warned the government that Iran was operating enrichment facilities, believed to be small and concealed in civilian locations.
UK will not join any attack on Iran, says British minister - Irna
Itis a known fact the Iran did indeed harbor some or most of the 9-11 hijackers, supporting them logistically and providing phony passports. It is a known fact that Iran is really, FOR REAL, seeking nuclear weapons. It is a known fact that the rulers of Iran, the world’s only major “Islamic Theocracy” were one of a hardly handful of nations to directly recognize the Taliban/afghanistan as a legitimate country.(the others being the UAE united arab emmirates, and saudi arabia) Do you really think it’s possible America can take on Iran, (under Bushs insistence of reasons to invade Iraq) without our main militarial allies? Which gives me a revelation….Iraq can invade Iran!!!!!! oh wait, weren’t there 2 bombings in Iran today? I noticed one hit the capital Tehran, and 2 minutes later a bomb exploded in the South in a city I have never heard of. I only noticed it because it seemed to be just on border with Iraq. A city also close to the border of Iran, is Bosrah, where the British contribution to the allied invasion is the strongest (alos because of historical ties to the south, from Bosrah to what is historically recently known as Kuwait, from its imperial days, which was actually carved out of Iraq by a British General) I have read a few stories recently about Americans disguised as Arabs setting off some car bombs in Russia, and I posted that one. But I have also read others, and personally dismissed the sources, although I do admit I could have spent 5 hours reading all the sources sources but chose not to. Other reports have indicated Birtish double agents setting some bombs off themselves, even prompting the so called “al-qaida in Iraq” to deny credit for some of these bombings and went so far as to blame the British and American spies. I have not posted them because I didn’t think there was enough evidence or that the sources were justifiable. But it is curious in connection to the russian story. Can we control Iraq into inading Iran for us? I think we can. I bet it was the administrations plan the whole time….yeah that’s the ticket! It looks like Bosra is just on the other side of the border from where the bomb exploded in iran. Anyhew
