'US to strike Iran in coming weeks'
Sep 1, 2008 9:21 | Updated Sep 1, 2008 16:09
The Dutch intelligence service, the AIVD, has called off an operation aimed at infiltrating and sabotaging Iran's weapons industry due to an assessment that a US attack on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program is imminent, according to a report in the country's De Telegraaf newspaper on Friday.
The report claimed that the Dutch operation had been "extremely successful," and had been stopped because the US military was planning to hit targets that were "connected with the Dutch espionage action."
The impending air-strike on Iran was to be carried out by unmanned aircraft "within weeks," the report claimed, quoting "well placed" sources.
The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the De Telegraaf report.

Something doesn'tmake sense about this news report:
Unmanned aircraft do not have the capability to take out Iran's nuclear facilities.
That would require B-52s or Stealth bombers carrying heavy JDAM earth penetrating bombs, maybe 2,000 lb. conventional or sub kiloton yield nukes.
UAVs are used to take out personnel, as in the raids described here:

Tomahawks.
I've seen reports like this going back months. The article always says that the attack is within a couple of weeks.
