Egypt: Israel preparing to strike Iran from Gulf and northern Iraq

Apparently there is a great deal stirring in the Middle East, especially with regard to the Israel-Iran situation.

Earlier this week as was discussed on this blog, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that on February 11 the Iranians would deliver a telling blow to the global powers. On the heals of that information, we learned that the Obama Administration has stepped up military presence and security in the region apparently in preparation for conflict.

Debkafile reports now that Egyptian sources are saying that Israel is preparing to attack Iran's nuclear facilities from the Gulf and northern Iraq. The interesting thing about the story is this statement, "Some of this information was leaked in Cairo Wednesday night to Shorouk, a publication which Egyptian intelligence often uses as an outlet for information held to be credible. Shorouk was first out with the story of the Israeli Air Force attack on Iranian arms convoys in Sudan in January 2009."
