Is Iran preparing for war?
Iran is expected to give its answer to western incentive packages in return freezing its nuclear development on 22 Aug 06.
Farid Ghadry points to the night of 21-22 Aug 06 as being significant in that 21 Aug 06 (Rajab 27, 1427) is known in the Islamic calendar as the Night of the Sira’a and Miira'aj, the night Prophet Mohammed (saas) ascended to heaven from the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on a Bourak (Half animal, half man), while a great light lit-up the night sky, and visited Heaven and Hell also Beit al-Saada and Beit al-Shaqaa (House of Happiness and House of Misery) and then descended back to Mecca.
Others have also suggested that Iran will attack Israel on this day. Some suggest that the significance of this day also coincide with the rise of the Hidden Imam or the 12th Grandson of Mohammad.
Other interesting reports are starting to come out of Iran.
Radio Free Europe reported that army deputy commander General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani briefed Iran will launch a large-scale military maneuvers called the "The Blow of Zolfaghar" involving 12 Iranian Regiments in West and East Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Baluchestan va Sistan, and Khorasan provinces. In addition, border security patrols would also reinforced. It is interesting to note that these provinces border Turkey, Northern Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Iran just finished extensive naval maneuvers in the Striat of Hormuz in April of this year.
Vital Perspective is reporting that Tehran Police have begun to dismantle satellite dishes from rooftops in Iran and questions what is Iran trying to hide from the public. While long outlawed, the satellite dishes have until now been tolerated.
It is interesting to note that General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani is also responsible for Iran's production of its own main battle tank (Zulfiqar) and tracked armored personnel carrier (Boragh) beginning in 1996 of which Iran is now expected to have over 500 of each. That is about enough new tanks anf APCs to outfit 12 regiments.
Iran-Daily is reporting that 28 new airports will be coming online within the next few weeks. Concurrently, Iran-Daily points out that the first phase of gasoline rationing is now almost complete and soon the second phase will begin and occur over the next six months.
Combining all this together, it appears Iran is preparing for war.
