Iran has many ways of warming the planet...

The Khorramshar News Agency, which is published by the ethnic Arab underground of Iran’s oil-rich Khuzestan, reported early Oct. 1 that the entire staff of Russian nuclear engineers and experts employed in building the nuclear reactor at Bushehr had abruptly packed their bags Friday, Sept. 28, and flew back to Russia. The agency’s one-liner offers no source or explanation. DEBKAfile have obtained no corroboration of its report from any other source.
The story appears to have originated with the ethnic Arabs who live near the reactor or who come in contact with its Russian staff. If true, DEBKAfile can offer three hypothetical scenarios to account for the Russians’ precipitate departure:
1. Another crisis has cropped up in the patchy Russian-Iranian dealings over the Bushehr reactor. This is unlikely because Russian president Vladimar Putin is due for a high-profile visit to Tehran on Oct. 16, when he plans to sign a series of nuclear accords with the Islamic Republic. Furthermore, Moscow, like Beijing, stands foursquare behind Iran’s efforts to delay harsher sanctions for its continued uranium enrichment. Only this week, the two powers gained Iran two to three months’ grace by forcing a delay in the UN Security Council session that was to have approved a third round of sanctions.
2. Moscow or Tehran has been tipped off that a US or Israeli attack is imminent on the Bushehr plant and Iran’s other nuclear installations and acted to whip Russian personnel out of harm’s way.
3. Moscow has learned that an Iranian pre-emptive attack is imminent against American targets in Iraq and the Persian Gulf and/or Israel.
Oh boy...
This has been reported about 15 times over the last 3 months. They just can’t be departing over and over.
WRONG!
The author listed #2, #3, .
#1 is “Iranian safety measures have failed and there’s a very high exposure rate to radioactive sources.”!!!!!!
Sure they can! Haven't you heard of the red tides?
Hadn’t you heard, Bah? They’re doing their part for global warming...recycling ;)
Seriously though- psy-ops?
For what it’s worth, this email may be from the blurb published on Debka Files last week. If so, it’s accuracy is questionable. Sometimes Debka is right, more often it seems that they are not.
Perhaps, though, your source is where Debka got it.
Mayhap:
1. Ahmadinejad’s checks are bouncing?
2. All Russians take their vacations at the same time?
3. Bush whispered something in Putins ear?
When I hear the same report over and over and over again, I have to think so, and not very effective at that.
LOL.
OR Iran had another spill killing most of their techs and the Russians decided they were tired of the game.
I'm sorry, Man, I don't. I'm a denizen of The News From the Long War thread where it was duly noted the first time it appeared, and the second, and the third, etc. This has been going on for months. It's like a ground hog day event.
Vladimar Putin is due for a high-profile visit to Tehran on Oct. 16, when he plans to sign a series of nuclear accords with the Islamic Republic
Fine. Oct 14 or 15 would be a good time to smoke a few of the most dear-to-Putin iranian nuclear activities.
Remember Iraq was a client state of Russia before Desert Storm. I seem to recall they suddenly pulled some of their VIP’s just before our “surprise” air attacks leading into the liberation of Kuwait.
Could it have something to with NOT GETTING PAID ???
Yep... only it’s probably not us that’s going to surprise air attack Iran. It’s probably Israel.
