These cross-border incursions have been alleged by the Iranians for several years. They claim it is an attempt to destabilise thier oil rich south eastern region through explosions and assasinations. And certainly there were no explosions or assasinations in that region until the invasion of Iraq. Amid previous official denials by both British officials, who launched a counter claim of unproven Iranian involvement in Iraq, they have finally admitted what they are up to, albeit justifying it as 'intercepting gun-runners'. If that is true why can't the same special forces intercept gun runners on the border or in Iraq ? In truth it is a military invasion, a provocation to start a new war with Iran. How would the US or the UK or Australia respond if Iranian special forces invaded their countries ? The fact that they are prepared to admit this now indicates that an greater attack on Iran is imminent. With the whole region destablised, Kurdish peshmurga attacking Turkish troops, this is the closest we have ever been to World War Three since the Cuban missile crisis.

If anyone considers themselves part of the peace-movement, the time to act is now.

I would like to point out that a previous botched SAS operation which was widely reported as a cross border raid was heavily propagandised against by our own resident MI5 'spook-plant' in the comments of the following two links.
