HOSTILE IRAN SPARKS U.S. ATTACK PLAN

Pentagon denies report of new Iran war planning - April 30
THE PRE WAR PROPAGANDA IS GETTING MUCH STRONGER
A second American aircraft carrier steamed into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday as the Pentagon ordered military commanders to develop new options for attacking Iran.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that
the planning is being driven by what one officer called the "increasingly
hostile role" Iran is playing in Iraq smuggling weapons into Iraq for use
against American troops.
"What the Iranians are doing is killing
American servicemen and -women inside Iraq," said
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.
U.S. officials are also concerned by Iranian harassment of U.S. ships in the
Persian Gulf as well as Iran's still growing nuclear program. New pictures of
Iran's uranium enrichment plant show the country's defense minister in the
background, as if deliberately mocking a recent finding by U.S. intelligence
that Iran had ceased work on a nuclear weapon.
No attacks are imminent and the last thing the Pentagon wants is another war,
but Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen has warned Iran not to
assume the U.S. military can't strike.
"I have reserve capability, in particular our Navy and our Air Force so it
would be a mistake to think that we are out of combat capability," Mullen
said.
Targets would include everything from the plants where weapons are made to the
headquarters of the organization known as the Quds Force which directs
operations in Iraq. Later this week Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is
expected to confront the Iranians with evidence of their meddling and demand a
halt.
If that doesn't produce results, the State Department has begun drafting an
ultimatum that would tell the Iranians to knock it off - or else.
