'US Ready To Strike Iran On Good Friday'

Jerusalem Post

The United States will be ready to launch a missile attack on Iran's nuclear facilities as soon as early this month, perhaps "from 4 a.m. until 4 p.m. on April 6," according to reports in the Russian media on Saturday.

According to Russian intelligence sources, the reports said, the US has devised a plan to attack several targets in Iran, and an assault could be carried out by launching missiles from fighter jets and warships stationed in the Persian Gulf.

[...]

The reports come as the Iranian chief of staff, Hassan Fayrouz Abadi, was quoted on Saturday by Iran's Fars news agency warning leaders of Arab countries that Israel plans to open a "suicidal attack" on its neighbors this summer, to "prevent the withdrawal of the US troops from Iraq and the area."

There you have it. I'm not sure where they are getting this info. It could just be intimidation. I doubt our military is ready for such a feat at this moment. There would be retaliation into Iraq, and we need many more troops to combat the new threat. I would guess at least twice as many as we have there now.
