ب مشاجرة حمالة

هو يكون أفدت ال [أوس] يمكن يتلقّى تحرّكت خطوة [كلوسر تو] عمل عسكريّة ضدّ إيران, غير أنّ يكون هناك يتلقّى أيضا تغير في الهدف ممكنة.

يقترح تقرير جديدة الهدف من أيّ هجوم كان إيران حارسة ثوريّة, [رثر ثن] البلد منشأة نوويّة.

[بوليتزر] يكتب [بريز-وينّينغ] صحفية [سموور] [هرش] يتلقّى يكون حول الإمكانية من [أوس] إضراب على إيران للسابقة 18 شهور.

في مادته متأخّرة ل [يوركر] جديدة مجلة وفي تلفزيون مقابلة, قد ذهب هو فوق أن يدّعي أنّ أستراليا يتلقّى "عبّر عن فائدة" في المفهوم.

جمهور [أونكنفينس]

في مادته متأخّرة ل [يوركر] جديدة هو يجادل ال [بوش دمينيسترأيشن] يعترف الجمهور أمريكيّة ليس يقنع إيران [بوسس] [أن] تهديد وشيكة نوويّة.

[أت ث سم تيم], يقول هو هناك يجدّد بؤرة على ال يزيد رقم الهجوم على إئتلاف قوات في العراق, ويدّعي أنّ ذخائر إيرانيّة يلعبون دور أساسيّة.

هذا كان جزء من خطبة برئيس جورج [و] بوش في أغسطس - آب متأخّرة.

"قد زاد الهجوم على أسسنا وقواتنا بإيرانيّة يزوّد ذخائر في الشهور [لت فو], على الرغم من تعهدات بإيران أن يساعد ثبتت الأمن حالة في العراق," سيد بوش يقال في الخطبة.

"سيأخذ أنا أعمال ضروريّة أن يحمي قواتنا, أنا يفوّر قادتنا عسكريّة في العراق أن يجابه [تهرن] أنشطة قاتلة."

يذكر سيد [هرش] هذا بلاغة كبيّنة من ال يغيّر نغمة [كم ووت وف] ال [بوش دمينيسترأيشن].

"استعمل الاسم من اللعبة أن يكون أنّ هم تهديد نوويّة, إيران يذهب أن يتلقّى قنبلة قريبا, نحن يضطرّ أتمّت هو, نوع من ال نفسه لعبة نحن تلقّينا قبل الحرب في العراق," هو قال.

"ماذا يكون حدثت يكون أنّ داخل أنّ شهور [لت فو] قد أتى هم إلى التحقيق أنّ يكون هو يكون لا يبيع, الالناس أمريكيّة لا يقلقون حول إيران كتهديد نوويّة, بالتّأكيد بما أنّ هم كانوا حول العراق, هناك صحيحة بعض شكل.

"هكذا قد حوّل هم, حقّا."

يقول سيد [هرش] هو يصدق هناك الآن توافق الآراء ضمن الجمهور أمريكيّة أنّ إن [إيرنين] يكون بنشاط يتتبّعون يخطّط أن يطوّر سلاح نوويّ, هم على الأقلّ خمسة سنون بعيدا من هدفهم.

هو يقول أنّ قد أمال التغير في الإدارة مقاربة.

“Instead of trying to sell it, not only to the American people but to its allies, the notion of a massive bombing against the infrastructure, what they call counter-proliferation against the infrastructure of the Iraqi bomb, hitting the various facilities that we know exist - instead, they’ve now decided that they’re going to hit the Iranians, payback for hitting us,” he said.

“They’re going to hit the Revolutionary Guard headquarters and facilities, they’re going to tone down the bombing, they’re going to shift it. It’s going to be more surgical.”

Mr Hersh says the new strategy involves a subtle change of targets.

“We’re threatening Iran, we’ve been doing it constantly, but instead of saying to the American people and instead of saying internally, ‘It’s going to be about nuclear weapons’, it’s now going about getting the guys that are killing our boys,” he said.

“We’re going to hit the border facilities, the facilities inside Iraq that we think are training terrorists, we’re going to hit the facilities we think are supplying some of the explosive devices into Iraq.

“This is the administration’s position.”

Australia on board?

He also claims the Bush administration’s new focus is getting support from its allies, including Australia.

“The Brits are interested in this idea, there have been expressions of interest from Australia, other countries, the Israelis of course have gone bananas, they’re very upset about the idea of not going,” he said.

“If you’re going to go into Iran, the Israeli position is very firm, they want us to go, and they want us to hit hard. … An Israeli told me, if you run into a lion, you either shoot it, or ignore it, you don’t pluck out its eyebrows.

“Going in and taking out the Revolutionary Guard and not taking out the nuclear facilities, for the Israelis is it a non-starter.

“But that’s the plan, the plan is to be more surgical, more careful, and they’re getting some of their allies on board.”

Last week, Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer said he called on Iran to stop supplying weapons to militias in Iraq during a recent bilateral meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister.

A spokesman for the Minister’s office declined to respond to Mr Hersh’s latest claims.

‘The opening gambit’

Dr Michael McKinley, a senior lecturer in International Relations and Strategy at the Australian National University, says a US attack would lead to war.

“If the United States was to engage in surgical strikes, as some people are once again talking about, you would have to say that Iran could very well behave in such a way, and there’d be a broad scope of possibilities here, where a widely escalated war would need to ensue after that, because I cannot imagine that Iran would just allow itself to be attacked without taking some sort of forceful reaction,” he said.

He is unconvinced an attack on Iran would stop with ’surgical strikes’.

“You have to challenge the logic of it, because if you attack Iran because it seems to be supporting activities inside Iraq, then by the logic that everybody in the decision-making framework seems to have, Iran would then speed up its alleged nuclear weapons program,” he said.

“That would be the logical way of regarding an Iranian reaction, which would then of course require a further and much stronger reaction on its nuclear sites from the United States.

“So this would appear to be only the opening gambit, rather than a one-off, if you take everybody’s logic at face value.”

Dr McKinley says he believes there there is a disposition in the US administration to take some form of military action against Iran.

“I would be more surprised rather than less surprised if there was not an attack sometime before the Bush administration leaves office,” he said.

Mr Hersh agrees.

“What I do know, is he wants to do something,” he said.

“He will not leave Iran in a position to be a nuclear power and a position to be a threat.”
