The nick name business is booming at the Pentagon. The same people who created the ill-named "Operation Infinite Justice" and the name "Divine Strake" for the latest non-nuclear-nuclear simulation now add TIRANNT. ("theater Iran near term")
Besides their public relations disaster potential, these planners had another surprise. This little operation was planned back in 2003. Of course here in the USA we never hear about these things, but in the middle east and the rest of the world, they keep a keen eye on this stuff.
In addition to this plan, we made plans for missile attacks on Iran as well as held war games in cooperation with Britain. And according to security analyst William Arkin, it would be " a Caspian Sea scenario that could also pave the way for northern operations against Iran."
Of course the pentagon makes lots of contingency plans, and rightly so, but lately it seems that these contingencies turn into pretty poor on-the-ground realities. We can only hope that this stays a plan and not tomorrows headlines.
