Dr. Dan Plesch and Martin Butcher On US Military Preparations to Bomb Iran

British scholar and arms expert Plesch, Director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy of SOAS at the University of London, and Butcher, adviser to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, offer a chilling report on the advanced extent of US military preparations for a major attack on Iran. The analysis tells of a “low-level war” already being waged, and its role in the greater plans to prevent Iran from acquiring the bomb. “‘Shock and Awe’ would be brought to a whole new level” in order to simultaneously destroy both the nation’s ability to counterattack and the regime itself. The Iranians, however, have been making preparations of their own, realizing that such plans are certain to face significant regional and global backlash.
