More Asymmetric Warfare Targeting Iran?
8 May 2013
(LPAC)—BBC reported late this afternoon that three explosions were heard on the outskirts of Tehran in an area near a major storage facility of Iranian missiles. If the reports are confirmed, the incident comes just days after Israeli warplanes bombed several sites inside Syria where, the Israelis alleged, sophisticated missiles were being stored for Hezbollah. In the aftermath of those confirmed bombing raids, Israeli officials tried to claim that the target of the attacks was strictly Hezbollah, and that Israel was not attempting to intervene in the ongoing warfare inside Syria. The reality, however, is that the Israeli actions could be the trigger for a general war in the region and beyond. If the reports of the explosions in Tehran prove to be the latest foreign covert warfare attack (two similar explosions at Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps bases in Oct. 2010 and Nov. 2011 were both confirmed to have been foreign intelligence attacks), the region could explode at any moment. Today, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi arrived in Damascus from Amman, Jordan, to confer with President Bashar Assad on ``regional security matters.’’ [JS_] |
