Recent reports suggest that the U.S. and Israel have set a well planned attack on Iran. However the authenticity of these reports hasn't been verified yet.

The U.S. has no troops available to attack Iran and Israel would rather not lose any of its soldiers.

However, both Israel and the U.S. have hinted that they might launch a pre-emptive strike against Iran, targeting its missile sites, nuclear facilities, and the Iranian leadership located in and around Tehran.

How would this plan be carried out?

According to those reports:

By aircraft attack using U.S. “smart bombs” and the so-called “bunker-buster” bombs, that the U.S. has recently sold to Israel, and which are designed to destroy underground reinforced concrete facilities.

The U.S. apparently sold these bombs to Israel to carry out the main strikes, supporting it with the needed aircraft. The aim will be to wipe out any vestige of nuclear weaponry, its delivery system and all the Iranian leaders capable of starting any attacks on Israel.

Since it would be a problem for Israeli Air Force units to fly round trip from Israel, then these strikes might be launched from U.S. aircraft carriers located in the Persian Gulf area.

Israel might find the early morning as the best time to launch a surprise attack to coincide with religious services in Tehran’s Muslim mosques targeting not only the leading Mullahs inside but a large number of their congregations as well.

Thus, one attack will concentrate on these religious centers and the other will hit both the underground nuclear facilities and identified (courtesy of U.S. satellite shots) missile launching sites.

The U.S. will supply observation and radio surveillance aircraft with radar-jamming capacities operating out of Turkey and Italy.

The initial attack won’t last more than one hour with at least three waves of Israeli aircraft utilized. Israel won’t give any warning to the Iranians, also no declaration of war.

Reports, moreover, pointed out that the attack on Iran has the full backing of the President who wants it launched before the elections. It will be good to use it in a speech to the American people stating that Iran, which is posing international threat, is finally destroyed and no fear of (allegedly) nuclear weapons, all that with the help of Israel.

Thus, no U.S. ground troops will be used; Bush would stress that this is a ‘joint U.S.-Israeli anti-terrorist project’, reports said.
