General Ivashov Calls For Emergency Session Of
UN Security Council To Ward Off Looming US Aggression

WASHINGTON DC — The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 AM on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly "Argumenty Nedeli." Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.

The attack is slated to last for twelve hours, according to Uglanov, lasting from 4 AM until 4 PM local time. Friday is a holiday in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.

The first reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant, where Russian engineers are working, is supposed to be spared from destruction. The US attack plan reportedly calls for the Iranian air defense system to be degraded, for numerous Iranian warships to be sunk in the Persian Gulf, and the for the most important headquarters of the Iranian armed forces to be wiped out.

The attacks will be mounted from a number of bases, including the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is currently home to B-52 bombers equipped with standoff missiles. Also participating in the air strikes will be US naval aviation from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, as well as from those of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Additional cruise missiles will be fired from submarines in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of the Arabian peninsula. The goal is allegedly to set back Iran’s nuclear program by several years, writes Uglanov, whose article was re-issued by RIA-Novosti in various languages, but apparently not English, several days ago. The story is the top item on numerous Italian and German blogs, but so far appears to have been ignored by US websites.

Observers comment that this dispatch represents a high-level orchestrated leak from the Kremlin, in effect a war warning, which draws on the formidable resources of the Russian intelligence services, and which deserves to be taken with the utmost seriousness by pro-peace forces around the world.

Asked by RIA-Novosti to comment on the Uglanov report, retired Colonel General Leonid Ivashov confirmed its essential features in a March 21 interview: "I have no doubt that there will be an operation, or more precisely a violent action against Iran." Ivashov, who has reportedly served at various times as an informal advisor to Putin, is currently the Vice President of the Moscow Academy for Geopolitical Sciences.

Ivashov attributed decisive importance to the decision of the Democratic leadership of the US House of Representatives to remove language from the just-passed Iraq supplemental military appropriations bill which would have demanded that Bush come to Congress before launching an attack on Iran. Ivashov pointed out that the language was eliminated under pressure from AIPAC, the lobbing group representing the Israeli extreme right, and of Israeli Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni.

"We have drawn the unmistakable conclusion that this operation will take place," said Ivashov. In his opinion, the US planning does not include a land operation: " Most probably there will be no ground attack, but rather massive air attacks with the goal of annihilating Iran’s capacity for military resistance, the centers of administration, the key economic assets, and quite possibly the Iranian political leadership, or at least part of it," he continued.

Ivashov noted that it was not to be excluded that the Pentagon would use smaller tactical nuclear weapons against targets of the Iranian nuclear industry. These attacks could paralyze everyday life, create panic in the population, and generally produce an atmosphere of chaos and uncertainty all over Iran, Ivashov told RIA-Novosti. "This will unleash a struggle for power inside Iran, and then there will be a peace delegation sent in to install a pro-American government in Teheran," Ivashov continued. One of the US goals was, in his estimation, to burnish the image of the current Republican administration, who would now be able to boast that they had wiped out the Iranian nuclear program.

Among the other outcomes, General Ivashov pointed to a partition of Iran along the same lines as Iraq, and a subsequent carving up of the Near and Middle East into smaller regions. "This concept worked well for them in the Balkans and will now be applied to the greater Middle East," he commented.

"Moscow must expert Russia’s influence by demanding an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council to deal with the current preparations for an illegal use of force against Iran and the destruction of the basis of the United Nations Charter," said General Ivashov. "In this context Russia could cooperate with China, France and the non-permanent members of the Security Council. We need this kind of preventive action to ward off the use of force," he concluded.

  • Come on people! How in the hell can this be a sneak attack when it’s being splashed all over the Net?!!!!!!! Let’s start looking about. What are they really planning? For crapssake, lets use our goddamn brains!

    • I sincerly hope you’re right , the sooner it’s done the sooner the world can carry on in a more peaceful manner.

    • You’re happy for innocent Iranians to be nuked, are you? Why don’t you volunteer to stand in the nuclear epicenter if it happens?

  • I’m supposing we can call it a sneak attack if it’s not in mainstream news. We can just hope that splashing it all over the Net might help prevent another catastrophe as we have done in other occasions at the risk of being ridiculed. Somehow we have to get off the PNAC train. http://bellaciao.org/en/article.php3?id_article=14486

    • I agree.....It may be that the by "calling their shots" before they commit them MAY be a deterent to their activities...this may be our strongest weapon against the NWO!!!!

  • I sincerly hope you’re right , the sooner it’s done the sooner the world can carry on in a more peaceful manner.

    Strange comment. I’m awaiting the sneak attack on Tel Aviv. Iran is signatory to the NPT, Israel is not and Israel won’t allow UN weapons inspectors to check their arsenal. Strange double standard there.

    • sorry I misunderstood your comment.
      But you won’t stop this evil bush cabal of the US with diplomacy, and impeachment is not an option because the democrat party is really republican-lite and part of the same plan. There really is only one party in the US. It simply has 2 faces.

  • A capitel of crap news. Iran is armed and JEWSA only attacks countries, who were stupid enough like Iraq to disarm themselves. Russia is continueing the work at the reactor in Busher, if they would really know about any attack they would leave.

    ...wishful thinking of some perverted Zionist creeps.

    • There is STILL the very very real possibility The Bush/Cheney War machine may sacrifice 1000’s of our own sailors and some "outdated" ships in another PNAC "Pearl Harbor type evenT" to provide cover and a pretext to try and punish Iran for dumping the dollar and attempting to set up their own oil bourse. It’s funny how the real economic and geo-political causes for most all wars can never really be directly talked about, countries always seem to have to either hide behind BS slogans like "freedom and democracy" or else blame the victim for their own Imperialist land and resource grabbing actions. After the 9-11 False Flag you had better be prepared for ANYTHING.

    • Yes, we might as well be prepared for ANYTHING. For all we know this may be a major world depopulation plan which only a handful of Powerful Elite will survive to write their interpretation as history. If they don’t even care about their children I doubt they care about chances of life and reproduction inside a bunker for billions of years to come. It’s about a disease called AVARICE.
      If we spread the word and call the shots maybe we can postpone the end of the world as we have known it.

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA Iran is next and we will start bombing sooooooooon hehehehehehhehehe we will turn Iran into Iraq hehehheehehhehehehehehehehee

    • Typical Nascar NeoZioCon bush supporter.

      Just vote republican - it’s easier than thinking.

    • To HAHAHA HEHEHE you are a snivelling zionist c*nt. You sadist, brutal illegal settlers occupying stolen homes on stolen land is the reason why the civilised world think you are a danger to world peace. Rot in hell zionist scum.

    • Don’t you NSA/Alphabet soup provocateur types have any real work to do, other than set in your cubicles soaking up taxpayer money typing up idiotic comments about how youd like to murder millions more people? Geesh no wonder this country is in such a shape.

    • Mmmmmm. Apparently not. Thanks for responding.

    • Listen Yank, the Iranians are our Aryan brothers and sisters. You and your Zionist friends aren’t gonna like what’s coming in return.

      Lo there do I see my father.
      Lo there do I see my mother.
      Lo there do I see my brothers and my sisters.
      Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning.
      Lo they do call to me;
      They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
      Where the brave may live forever.

      I can’t see any cowardly Yank Christians reaching Valhalla, the murderers of women and children.

    • Bwaaaaaaa!
      Zionist America, the mongrel nation, Has Lost Every War for 100 Years
      World War One - Armistice Only - USSR Is Lost to Leftist Jewish Regime
      World War Two - End-Game Standoff - USSR Steals Poland & Half of Europe
      China Kicks America Out Under Communist Rule in 1947
      Korea - Not Won - America Pushed South - Armistice
      Vietnam - Disaster - Lost - Americans Have to Escape by Helicopter
      Lebanon - Disaster - Marines Killed - U.S. Flees
      Somalia - Disaster - Americans Killed - Flee
      Yugoslavia - Disaster - Split in Pieces
      Iraq - Disaster - War Lost
      Afghanistan - Disaster - War Lost

      What makes you think you can beat the Persians when the Iraqis are already kicking your asses?

      As for the dollar, it’s going through the floor

      Oh yes, and then, of course, you have North Korea waiting for its moment.

      The mongrel nation lives in La-La Land.

    • Hey, come on Yank, give us another laugh; do tell us how the Grand Canyon was formed during "Noah’s flood". You’re the laughing stock of the world; the big brainless bullies with the big guns; same as you have always been. The rejects from every other country in the world, who somehow got a big opinion of themselves. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    • Actually, I’m thinking all who believe wars of aggression for resources based on lies are not something they support,should email the U.S. Whore House out in the District of Corruption. They are awaiting responses from the vast majority of The U.S. citizens and the rest of the world who would rather they not start WW3. Rememeber the MAJORITY of American citizens by far don’t support these wars for OIl/Israel/$$$$$/Bases. Be careful you don’t become bait for provacateurs they seem to be everywhere out on the net these days. Take care. Regards.Long LIve The Republic!!!

    • Absolutely right-communicate this LOUDLY,PERSISTENTLY-without end.God bless-kgb1956

  • The engaging, inspiring, deeply thoughtful responses here should convince the hard of thinking that maybe, just maybe, because critical thinking’s in such short demand, the bombs should fly. The end times should come. Let’s start this party, then if there’s no one left alive, how ’bout the evolution of the roaches. They’re pretty sturdy!

    ’Cause, ladies and gentlemen, everywhere you look, from the White House to the dog house, from east to west, from the Ivy grads to the GED grunts, there’s a paucity of meaningful inquiry. There’s a lack of profundity. There’s a shortage of significance. So really. Why go on? Bring on the bombs. Get the next war started. Let’s move devolution ahead so evolution can get a chance at producing a truly wise species.

    • wow is all i can say, all about oil all about iran turning in there dollar for the euro just as iraq did. the only problem with this is you are fighting a real enemy, iraq seems to be kicking our ass over there, what do our navy fleet do when them sun burn missles start ripping our warships in half. man i am so sick and tired of the war why not peace for all nations at this point let the whole fucking thing blow up for all i care and create a new species of people devoted to peace, and one not devoted to war famine diease global warming and every other darn thing wrong, my opinion is just one i am american and feel we bring the war to its demise and end eventully so be done with it just wish i wasnt born to see all the evil shit that goes and the dum ass fighting. where millons of americans will be killed iranians as well and i hate to say this but the jews as well since i think there main problem in the region. ive talked enough i just want to wish everyones family a blessing and hope it is quick and painless for all including me who will die when this starts i try to stay close to god it is my only salvationt through the evil we make god bless america iran iraq and all wish this world was designed the way god wanted it to play out but man put his hand in it and fucked everything up again god blees all.

    • Maybe you are expecting too much. When someone shoves a gun into someone elses face, then beats the hell out of them, and steals their money, and we obseve this occuring, we can either stand there and wax and wain philosophically about it, disect it fom every social, economic, religious,or moral angle until hell freezes over, OR we may well pull out our own gun, blast the attacker and stop the robbery in progress. While these words might not be profound enough, for those given to silver tongued oratory, one has to ask what would the one being mugged and robbed really prefer? We all have our role to play in life, for everything there is a season, I pefer simple words, spoken honestly with passion, conviction, and from the heart. Remember The Truth shall be spoken fom the mouth of "babes", I’ll leave the long winded philosophical disections to those given to such excesses.
