Iran Going into Active War Mode

This is an interesting development:

It appears that Iran has mobilized its military and put them on war alert. There may be orders to strike targets outside of Iran... But then again it may just be more saber rattling by the little monkey achmadinadog...

Report: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Preparing for War

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have raised their operational readiness and are preparing for war, according to a report in the British Telegraph.

The report indicated that an order from General Mohammed Ali Jaafari, the commander of the guards, has initiated preparations for potential external strikes and covert attacks.

Western intelligence officials told the Telegraph that the Islamic Republic had initiated plans to disperse long-range missiles, high explosives, artillery and guards units to key defensive positions.

According to the officials, the order was given in response to mounting international pressure over Iran’s nuclear program. They added that preparation for a confrontation has gathered pace following last month’s report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that produced evidence that Iran was actively working to produce nuclear weapons.

Recent explosions have added to the growing sense of paranoia within Iran, the Telegraph said, with the regime fearing it will be the target of a surprise military strike by Israel or the U.S.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s spiritual leader, issued a directive to the heads of all the country’s military, intelligence and security organizations to take all necessary measures to protect the regime, the report said.

General Jaafari responded to this directive by ordering Revolutionary Guards units to redistribute Iran’s arsenal of long-range Shahab missiles to secret sites around the country where they would be safe from enemy attack and could be used to launch retaliatory attacks, said the officials.

In addition, the Iranian air force has formed a number of “rapid reaction units”, which have been carrying out extensive exercises to practice a response to an enemy air attack.

Meanwhile, a senior U.S. State Department official, Robert Einhorn, said Monday that "strong steps" need to be taken -- urgently -- to stop Iran's headlong rush towards nuclear technology.

Einhorn, a senior adviser for non-proliferation and arms control, told reporters, "The situation in Iran has become more and more worrisome. The timeline for its nuclear program is beginning to get shorter, so it is important we take these strong steps on an urgent basis."

Einhorn’s statement is arguably the toughest yet made by the Obama administration on the Iranian subject.

You bet every satellite in the sky is watching what is happening in Iran right now....

I think this is all a bunch of phony baloney.  If israel or a western country was really going to attack Iran (as is being rumored almost daily) then why would they wait until iran was prepared and waiting for it after leaking to the press and spreading rumors about it.  All seems staged bs to me from all sides.

Yes. If Israel wanted to it could have destroyed Iran's program 20 years ago. But the corrupt and brainwashed Israelis of this generation worry more about what their American overlords would think (and Iranian "civilians") than their own survival. I have to really wonder about the people who are always believing this kind of Debka-esque crap. I will believe an attack is imminent when it happens, and if it is going to happen the Israeli government is not going to talk about it (then again they might, they are certainly stupid enough).

This "preparation for war" mode is going on for years. Nothing is going to happen. They will wait until Israel ethnically cleanse Judea and Samaria from Jews and creates an Arab Nazi state.

For a successful first strike, technically it was most feasible to attack Iran from the bases in Afghan or Iraq. Now that time seems to have passed out and the future chances for such an attack are bleak. Obviously it implies that no one was interested to carry out such an attack.

It would be very nice if G-D puts it into the minds of Sunnis to fight the Shiites (Iran), I hope they destroy each other.

Iran has recently either shot down or otherwise acquired an American UAV. It was one of the more advanced models which we possess. I consider it bad news since it will allow them to reverse engineer the drone and in the future be able to thwart its encryption {it it has any} and know its capabilities. I think this news was released from Iran in order to make it look like Iran is reacting to the 'violation of its airspace' that it feels has occurred.

Thats hard to imagine the Iranians reverse engineering anything.  They would probably sell it to the Russians in exchange for a few nukes.

I suspect a sophisticated cyber attack.
