Report: Britain ‘on Board’ for US Strikes on Iran…

Gas ‘em up!!….

British defence officials have held talks with their Pentagon counterparts about how they could help out if America chose to bomb Iran.

Washington sources say that America has shelved plans for an all-out assault, drawn up to destroy the Iranian nuclear facilities and take out the Islamist regime.

The Sunday Telegraph has learned that President Bush’s White House national security council is discussing instead a plan to launch pinpoint attacks on bases operated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds force, blamed for training Iraqi militants.

Pentagon officials have revealed that President Bush won an understanding with Gordon Brown in July that Britain would support air strikes if they could be justified as a counter-terrorist operation.

Vincent Cannistraro â€” who served as intelligence chief on Ronald Reagan’s National Security Council and then as head of operations for the CIA’s counter-terrorist centre â€” said: "What’s on the table right now is tactical strikes."

US and allies attacking Iran is big mistake.
There is plenty of room for diplomacy and peace.
US attacking Iran means nuclear war.
