    Final destination Iran?

    Report bad ads?

    Hundreds of powerful US “bunker-buster” bombs are being shipped from California to the British island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean in preparation for a possible attack on Iran.

    The Sunday Herald can reveal that the US government signed a contract in January to transport 10 ammunition containers to the island. According to a cargo manifest from the US navy, this included 387 “Blu” bombs used for blasting hardened or underground structures.

    Experts say that they are being put in place for an assault on Iran’s controversial nuclear facilities. There has long been speculation that the US military is preparing for such an attack, should diplomacy fail to persuade Iran not to make nuclear weapons.

    Although Diego Garcia is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, it is used by the US as a military base under an agreement made in 1971. The agreement led to 2,000 native islanders being forcibly evicted to the Seychelles and Mauritius.

    The Sunday Herald reported in 2007 that stealth bomber hangers on the island were being equipped to take bunker-buster bombs.

    Although the story was not confirmed at the time, the new evidence suggests that it was accurate.

    Contract details for the shipment to Diego Garcia were posted on an international tenders’ website by the US navy.

    A shipping company based in Florida, Superior Maritime Services, will be paid $699,500 to carry many thousands of military items from Concord, California, to Diego Garcia.

    Crucially, the cargo includes 195 smart, guided, Blu-110 bombs and 192 massive 2000lb Blu-117 bombs.

    “They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran,” said Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London, co-author of a recent study on US preparations for an attack on Iran. “US bombers are ready today to destroy 10,000 targets in Iran in a few hours,” he added.

    The preparations were being made by the US military, but it would be up to President Obama to make the final decision. He may decide that it would be better for the US to act instead of Israel, Plesch argued.

    “The US is not publicising the scale of these preparations to deter Iran, tending to make confrontation more likely,” he added. “The US ... is using its forces as part of an overall strategy of shaping Iran’s actions.”

    According to Ian Davis, director of the new independent thinktank, Nato Watch, the shipment to Diego Garcia is a major concern. “We would urge the US to clarify its intentions for these weapons, and the Foreign Office to clarify its attitude to the use of Diego Garcia for an attack on Iran,” he said.

    For Alan Mackinnon, chair of Scottish CND, the revelation was “extremely worrying”. He stated: “It is clear that the US government continues to beat the drums of war over Iran, most recently in the statements of Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

    “It is depressingly similar to the rhetoric we heard prior to the war in Iraq in 2003.”

    The British Ministry of Defence has said in the past that the US government would need permission to use Diego Garcia for offensive action. It has already been used for strikes against Iraq during the 1991 and 2003 Gulf wars.

    About 50 British military staff are stationed on the island, with more than 3,200 US personnel. Part of the Chagos Archipelago, it lies about 1,000 miles from the southern coasts of India and Sri Lanka, well placed for missions to Iran.

    The US Department of Defence did not respond to a request for a comment.

    How utterly depressing.

    Let's hope there isn't a bad end to this story.

    Iraq, Afghanistan, now Iran.

    This is all too boring and in the Eastern Middle East. Hopefully the US will invade Algeria, Libya and perhaps Turkey soon. Y'know, somewhere near the Med. It'll do good for European trade.

    Keep laughing at human suffering. Western governments are such hypocrites, when a few westerners are killed they pretend as if it's the end of the world, while they destroy entire nations and call those who fight back 'terrorists" !!

    So, like social darwinist atheist warmongers, you don't opppose human suffering? You consider it "natural", the survival of the fittest? I beg to differ, I always support the resistance, certainly not the occupiers and oppressors!

    Re: Final destination Iran?

    Iran by its words and deeds is totally untrustworthy.

    There is a legitimate concern that if Iran obtains nuclear weapons it will start a nuclear war.

    The idea is to stop Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.

    Thye have been offered peaceful nuclear technology for nuclear power stations but they have rejected it.

    Iran by its words and deeds is totally untrustworthy.
    America and indeed the rest of Western Europe are paragons of honesty, truth and virtue as history as shown?

    There is a legitimate concern that if Iran obtains nuclear weapons it will start a nuclear war.
    Whos says there trying to achieve nuclear weapons? Why would they start a war? Heres an idea - Look at Irans history, when was the last time they intitiated a war for conquest and resources? Look at Americas history when was the last time they initiated a war for conquest and resources

    The idea is to stop Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
    Then your in luck because Iranians dont want them either

    Thye have been offered peaceful nuclear technology for nuclear power stations but they have rejected it.
    Why shouldnt they be allowed to develop and master nuclear technology on their own? Better than going begging bowl in hand to Western nations and asking there 'permission' to devleop nuclear techonology.

    Whatever you might think about Iran, Ive always been impressed by their independent stance. Muslims can learn from them.

    That's pure zionist/western media nonsense. The U.S. government as well as all European countries know very well that Iranians would never use nuclear weapons. Your government wants you to believe all that you said to justify an attack on Iran. Unfortunately, you - like the majority of people in the West - believe their lies and mind-numbing propaganda, like you did before the war on Iraq. You are repeating the same mistakes over and over again. It's not Iran, but extremely injust U.S. policies that pose a huge a threat to all the countries in the region and is a major destabilizing factor.

    Ahmadinejad never said "wipe Israel off the map". He said "this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time". It had absolutely nothing to do with wiping off Israel as a whole or a nuclear attack, which is a ridiculous and preposterous accusation. He was talking about a regime change like in the Former Soviet Union (which is now Russia). A new regime that wants peace and live side by side with a Palestinian state (which they have refused so far). Have you ever asked yourself why western states always want a "regime change" in other nations, but when we want the same in Israel, they go hysterical??

    Also, Israel must be de-nuclearized or the U.S. must abandon their unconditional support for Israel's occupation. Israel is able to severely oppress Palestinians and steal more lands because they are a nuclear state and because of unconditional western support. Why does your government not impose sanctions on Israel, which is a brutal occupier and a nuclear state, unlike Iran? Have you ever thought about questioning and criticizing your own government? Have you ever looked into facts as opposed to blindly following the hollow propaganda by your media?

    Iran untrustworthy? And America/Israel and the UK are ones to be trusted? Why the double standards? Iran INVITE nuclear inspectors into their facilities, Israel have not and will never do such thing. Now tell me which racist, illegal, terrorist state is deceiving and lying openly to the world? Yes, you got it in one. Israhell and its Devil Forces.

    Iran is not acquiring Nuclear missiles, Its Nuclear energy they are after, But let me say this to you, EVEN IF IRAN WERE AFTER NUCLEAR WEAPONS, WHAT HAS IT GOT TO DO WITH YOU?! Israel are reported to have 200+ Nuclear warheads and they USED nuclear bombs in gaza last January, Why dont you speak up about this crime against humanity?! Iran has NEVER attacked any country except in self defense so why you think they will start a nuclear war is beyond me. Its something I'd expect to hear on Trash 'Liars R Us CNN' or any one of the zionist owned media outlets.

    Your last comment is absurd and unrealistic, since the Islamic revolution in Iran, America have been at war with Iran behind the scenes, Why the hell would Iran trust America? Would you trust someone who is keen to destabilize your household? Thought not

    I will finish with this, InshAllah Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran will UNITE and destroy ANYONE and ANYTHING that lands on their territory. Palestine will be free one day InshAllah and the wrongdoers will no doubt be ruined and brought to account
