More rumors: >>According to various net sites Iran has quietly initiated phases of military mobilization, and has begun the tranfer of mostly infantry, and mech units, to spots along the Iraqi border. Naval vessels armed with antishipping missles, including Silkworm and Sunburn missles, have been ordered to prep and begin patrols of Gulf waters near Iran. SInce Saddam has no surface Navy worthy of a Silkworm, SUnburn, or even older Styx/Termite missle(s), or even the infamous Exocet, the Iranians can only be prepping for the close-in deployment of American and Brit warships, especially American aircraft carriers, to the region! If these reports are true, then when Saddam indicated in his speech yesterday his government will never surrender to invaders, he likely may already be planning for his govt. to escape into IRAN, with IRAN covertly protecting him with their own military! << strategypage.com
