Dear readers, the summer is here. Sun is shining and the weather is warm. What’s also status quo is the US military buildup around Iran. As of June 22nd, 2010, American forces are practically present in every country that surrounds Iran.
A recent article by Christian A. DeHaemer on EnergyAndCapital.com reveals the following:
- Israeli Air Force have made use of military bases in Saudi Arabia, landing choppers and unloading military gear.
- US forces build up in Azerbaijan.
- Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has mobilized forces to the Northern border including tanks and anti-aircraft units.
- US warships together with one Israeli warship as well as unspecified number of nuclear submarines passed through the Suez Canal heading for the Persian Gulf.
From a recent article on the Debka file:
In a rare move, Iran has declared a state of war on its northwestern border, DEBKAfile’s military and Iranian sources report. Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps men and equipment units are being massed in the Caspian Sea region against what Tehran claims are US and Israeli forces concentrated on army and air bases in Azerbaijan ready to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The announcement came on Tuesday, June 22 from Brig.-Gen Mehdi Moini of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), commander of the forces tasked with “repelling” this American-Israeli offensive. He said: “The mobilization is due to the presence of American and Israeli forces on the western border,” adding, “Reinforcements are being dispatched to West Azerbaijan Province because some western countries are fueling ethnic conflicts to destabilize the situation in the region.”
