Will Bush really bomb Iran?
Source: Sunday Times
28 October 2007 – In the white desert sands of New Mexico, close to where the first atom bomb was detonated, America’s biggest conventional weapon was tested last spring. A 30,000lb massive ordnance penetrator, known as the Big Blu or the Mother of All Bombs, was placed inside a tunnel to test its explosive power against hard, deeply buried bunkers and tunnels designed to conceal weapons of mass destruction.
The monster bunker-buster was so heavy, it could not fly. But the blast was a huge success, rippling through the tunnels and destroying everything in its wake.
Today the Big Blu might as well have “Tehran” written on its side in the same way that the Iranians love to parade missiles marked “Tel Aviv”. Tucked away in an emergency defence spending request, the US air force has just asked Congress for $88m to equip B2 stealth bombers, the black warriors of the skies, with racks strong enough carry the huge bomb.
This was no casual request, but an “urgent operational need from theatre commanders”, according to the air force. Even a Republican congressman fretted: “This whole thing . . . reminds me of the movie Dr Strangelove.”

Although intelligence estimates vary as to when Iran will achieve the know-how for a bomb, the French government recently received a memo from the International Atomic Energy Agency stating that Iran will be ready to run almost 3,000 cen-trifuges in 18 cascades by the end of this month, in defiance of a UN ban on uranium enrichment. It is enough, say scientists, to produce one bomb within a year. If that is the case, the hour for action may soon be upon us.
Iran's Armed Forces to Give Crushing Response to Aggressions
Source: Fars News Agency
28 October 2007 – Any aggression against Iran's territorial integrity will receive a crushing response from the Iranian armed forces, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini said.
Speaking to reporters during his weekly press conference here on Sunday, Hosseini pointed to the intensified military moves by the US troops alongside Iran-Iraq borders, and said Iranian armed forces would provide an appropriate response to any kind aggression to the country's territorial integrity.
A recent report, quoting a senior Iraqi security official in Basra, said that the US has increased the number of flights and espionage operations along Iraq-Iran borders at Shalamche to gain more information about Iran's missile units and sites.
US officials have alleged that their increased military operations in southern Iraq are aimed at preventing the smuggling of arms across the two countries' borders.
"The adoption of such measures by the (Iraqi) occupiers is a blatant violation of the international rules and a breach of Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Hosseini said.
"Meantime, we believe that the Iraqi officials and government are well informed of the importance of the two countries' good relations and will not allow their territories to be used for espionage operations against the neighboring countries," he added.
Elsewhere, Hosseini
noted the future of Iran-EU nuclear talks, and said that the newly
appointed secretary of the country's Supreme National Security
Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili will continue talks with EU foreign
policy chief Javier Solana to resolve the nuclear standoff between
Tehran and the West.
Comments: Update; it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that big blue/MOP (massive ordnance penetrator) is intended for Iran. In order to penetrate deep inside Iranian nuclear installation underground, the U.S. will require a weapon that can do the job. This is just another example of the march towards war against Iran and everyday the drums get louder. President Bush has just over one year left in office and before he leaves he will have to get the job done or leave the task to Israel. Iran may have the capability to build a bomb within one year so the race is on. All the preparations are being made and it is just a matter of time before the U.S., Israel and Iran are at war. Yes, the hour of action is fast approaching.
US looks to Europe to sanction Iran
Washington's latest sanctions on Iran up the pressure on America's European allies to follow suit and tighten the screws on the Islamic state or see it attacked, analysts say.
"China and Russia are more concerned about the prospect of the US bombing Iran than of Iran getting a nuclear bomb," he added.
