I do not believe that the U.S. and/or Israel are preparing for military action against Iran. This is probably psychological warfare.
I expect that we have more time (a couple of years) before Israel alone takes action. The U.S. will be missing in action.
Yet, change might be in the air because, according to STRATFOR global intelligence, the U.S., Israel and other Western allies are taking steps that appear eerily similar to war preparations. These actions include the Administration trying to get authorization to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) which is something that would only happen during a time of war; U.S. and Israel conducting large scale military and ballistic missile exercises; and direct personal messages being delivered from senior U.S. and Israeli officials to Moscow that the military option is on the table as a path to halting Iran’s nuclear program. However, the mystery remains as to whether or not these movements are legitimate threats or simple posturing.
U.S. and Israel prepare for military action against Iran
