Iran -- Ready to attack

The New Statesman.

British military sources told the New Statesman, on condition of anonymity,
that "the US military switched its whole focus to Iran" as soon as Saddam
Hussein was kicked out of Baghdad. It continued this strategy, even though it
had American infantry bogged down in fighting the insurgency in Iraq.
The US
army, navy, air force and marines have all prepared battle plans and spent four
years building bases and training for "Operation Iranian Freedom". Admiral
Fallon, the new head of US Central Command, has inherited computerised plans
under the name TIRANNT (Theatre Iran Near Term).
