Subject: The Shot Heard Around the (Neocon) World: "Iran Bombers
Attack Our Boys!"
Iran's army has 'crossed the border' into Iraq ...
(now at the top of the <neocon-friendly> Drudge Report)
Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces have been spotted by British
troops crossing the border into southern Iraq, The Sun tabloid**
reported on Tuesday. Radar sightings of Iranian helicopters
crossing into the Iraqi desert were confirmed to it by very senior
military sources.
Britain's defence ministry would not confirm or deny the report,
with a spokesman declining to comment on "intelligence matters".
An unidentified intelligence source told the tabloid: "It is an
extremely alarming development and raises the stakes considerably.
In effect, it means we are in a full-[scale] war with Iran -- but
nobody has officially declared it."
"We have hard proof that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have
crossed the border to attack us. It is very hard for us to strike
back. All we can do is try to defend ourselves. We are badly on the
back foot."

Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces have been spotted by British
troops crossing the border into southern Iraq, The Sun tabloid
reported on Tuesday.
Britain's defence ministry would not confirm or deny the report,
with a spokesman declining to comment on "intelligence matters".
An unidentified intelligence source told the tabloid: "It is an
extremely alarming development and raises the stakes considerably.
In effect, it means we are in a full on war with Iran -- but nobody
has officially declared it."
"We have hard proof that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have
crossed the border to attack us. It is very hard for us to strike
back. All we can do is try to defend ourselves. We are badly on the
back foot."
The Sun said that radar sightings of Iranian helicopters crossing
into the Iraqi desert were confirmed to it by very senior military
sources.
In response to the report, a British defence ministry spokesman
said: "There is evidence that explosive devices used against our
troops in southern Iraq originated in Iran."
"Any Iranian link to armed militias in Iraq either through weapons
supply, training or funding are unacceptable."
Britain has about 7,100 soldiers in Iraq, most of whom are based in
the southern city of Basra and surrounding areas, though the
government has pledged to reduce that to between 5,000 and 5,500
this year.

EXCLUSIVE
Iran bombers
attack Our Boys

IRANIAN forces are being choppered over the Iraqi border to bomb
Our Boys, intelligence chiefs say.
Military experts claim this worrying move means we are at WAR with
Iran in all but name.
Last night an intelligence source told The Sun: “It is an extremely
alarming development and raises the stakes considerably. In effect,
it means we are in a full on war with Iran — but nobody has
officially declared it.
“We have hard proof that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have
crossed the border to attack us.
“It is very hard for us to strike back. All we can do is try to
defend ourselves. We are badly on the back foot.”
Our Boys picked up the Iranian helicopters on radar crossing into
empty desert.
The sightings have been confirmed to The Sun by very senior
military sources.
At least two Brit squaddies are thought to have been killed by
bombs planted during these incursions into Maysan province —
Corporal Ben Leaning, 24, and Trooper Kristen Turton, 27.
A further 44 British deaths have also been linked to the highly
advanced bombs, rockets and mortars which originated in Iran.
Coming so swiftly after the kidnap of 15 Royal Navy sailors in the
Gulf, our revelation will send strained relations between London
and Tehran plummeting further.
Until now, secret units from Iran’s fanatical RGC have restricted
themselves to just training and arming Shia rebels in Iraq.
They include the al Quds Brigade — a secretive force tasked to
spread Islamic revolution abroad who are the main backers for
Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and are also active in Palestine
and northern Iraq.
An MoD spokeswoman said: “There is evidence that explosive devices
used against our troops in southern Iraq originated in Iran.
“Any Iranian link to armed militias in Iraq either through weapons
supply, training or funding are unacceptable.
