“The presence of U.S. nuclear submarines in the Persian Gulf region means that the Pentagon has not abandoned plans for surprise strikes against nuclear targets in Iran. With this aim a group of multi-purpose submarines ready to accomplish the task is located in the area,” said the admiral. He went on to state that so far US submarines control navigation in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, and in the Arabian Sea.
The admiral's comments came after the USS Newport News collided with a Japanese tanker in the Arabian Sea south of the Strait of Hormuz.
Now, comes word that an Iranian nuclear scientist has died in mysterious circumstances. An intelligence source has suggested that Ardeshire Hassanpour, 44, a nuclear physicist, was assassinated by Mossad. The Israelis may have the better answer to foiling Persian plans of nuclear confrontation.
