Dutch intel: US to strike Iran in coming weeks

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.

According to the report, information gleaned from the AIVD's operation in Iran has provided several of the targets that are to be attacked in the strike, including "parts for missiles and launching equipment."

"Information from the AIVD operation has been shared in recent years with the CIA," the report said.

On Saturday, Iran's Deputy Chief of Staff General Masoud Jazayeri warned that should the United States or Israel attack Iran, it would be the start of another World War.

On Friday, Ma'ariv reported that Israel had made a strategic decision to deny Iran military nuclear capability and would not hesitate "to take whatever means necessary" to prevent Teheran from achieving its nuclear goals.

According to the report, whether the United States and Western countries succeed in thwarting the Islamic Republic's nuclear ambitions diplomatically, through sanctions, or whether a US strike on Iran is eventually decided upon, Jerusalem has begun preparing for a separate, independent military strike.

Why would anyone release this information if it were true is what I have to ask?
More propaganda imo.

I agree. You can tell by the language they use its bullshit. An attack is coming but we don't know when. The source is the F'ing jew morning news, The Jerusalem Post. What do you think they are going to say? "oh yeah iran has weapons and wants to hurt us. Oh yeah america is our bitch and fights for us."

There's also another story circulating about Iranian spies operating in the Netherlands...

There is a high degree of probability that this is another saber rattling maneuver. Intimidation does work at the international level, and this seems to be nothing more than an attempt at intimidation in my opinion.

of course it is

could well be that the Iranian program is a farce too - but it's being used as a rattling sabre (and oil price gouger too)

Well, they have a plausible delivery system for a weapon that weighs up to 300-600 pounds. An old Russian suitcase nuke would do the job nicely.

plausible is good enough - though I don't think we could say "reliable."

old russian nuke were huge dude - what are you referring too? Their stupid nuclear powered satellites*? Because those weren't bombs - just very dangerous and stupid surveillance tools.
