Iran Must Get Ready to Repel a Nuclear Attack

In the overall flow of information coming from the Middle East, there are increasingly frequent reports indicating that within several months from now the US will deliver nuclear strikes on Iran. For example, citing well-informed but undisclosed sources, the Kuwaiti Arab Times wrote that the US plans to launch a missile and bomb attack on the territory of Iran before the end of April, 2007. The campaign will start from the sea and will be supported by the Patriot missile defense systems in order to let the US forces avoid a ground operation and to reduce the efficiency of the return strike by “any Persian Gulf country”.

“Any country” mostly refers to Iran. The source which supplied the information to the Kuwaiti paper believes that the US forces in Iraq and other countries of the region will be defended from any Iranian missile strikes by the frontier Patriots.

So, the preparations for a new US aggression entered the completion phase. The executions of S. Hussein and his closest associates were a part of these preparations. Their purpose was to serve as a “disguise operation” for the efforts of the US strategists to deliberately escalate the situation both around Iran and in the entire Middle East...cont'd

Former Russian Defence Chief Warns About US Nuclear Attack on Iran

Russian Ex-Chief of Defence, General Ivashov's analysis is very similar to many articles on our website and in my comments.

I think it is one of the most informed professional analysis so far of US intentions to nuclear bomb Iran. He even refers to a "provocation" (or False Flag incident staged by the Bush regime) to fool the Senate and Congress into giving their approval for a nuclear attack on Iran. Bush has already fooled them with a string of lies into approving his war on Iraq. Now Bush is ready to do it it again - but this time the Bush regime is likely to stage a very serious "provocation", as General Ivashov has stated, and blame it on Iran as a justification for a nuclear attack.

The article should convince people that now is the time to take action if they wish to prevent a US nuclear attack on Iran and all the disastrous consequences that can follow. There would be many. Waiting for this insane nuclear event before taking any action, would be like waiting for your house to burn down before you called the fire department, turned on the hose, or got fire insurance. According to Ivashov and others, we may have only about 2 months to stop Bush. Things that people and groups can consider doing to help prevent an attack are shown on our website below.

If Bush is not stopped and launches the attack, the war momentum and slaughter can trigger a sequence of disastrous actions and reactions that can spiral out of control. There are 8 to 9 nuclear weapon states, some may be drawn into a major war that could spread beyond the middle east. Both Russia and China have strong defence links with Iran and each have nuclear weapon arsenals. I doubt if they would stay idle while the US conquered Iran, leading to US control of middle east oil resources. Also, Pakistan and other Islamic states may erupt if the US slaughters millions of Muslims with nuclear weapons. Keep in mind that the Bush regime has no legitimate reasons for attacking Iran, anymore than it had for attacking Iraq..cont'd

1. How da fuck do you "repel a nuclear attack?"

I mean, Jesus, unless you got some kinda Star Wars defense that actually works (unlike ours), what ya gonna do?

Duck and cover, I guess.

6. "Survive" might be more appropriate

Since the nuclear attack, if it happens, doesn't look like being designed to kill the population, but rather to obliterate the military and the nuclear research, most Iranians will survive it, just as most Japanese survived the 2 atomic bombs. What Iran's government could do is try to plan to survive as a government; and/or plan to ensure the survival of more of the population.

2. I have a question.

Let's say * hits Iran with Nukes...um doesn't that destroy the oil that is there also? And won't that unite the world against the US like the world was against Germany? Just askin...

Will * be the first President to bring an attack of foreign Armies on American soil? I am no military strategist and no wiz kid but it's almost as if this is his end goal. Just askin...

3. No offense intended. But....

even considering the inept man-child in charge of the U.S. military (or so he says), until the United States actually launches a nuclear assault, or more credible sources besides a New Zealand tabloid offer serious evidence, this stuff is bullshit!

5. Agreed. NT
