Washington has drawn up a plan for military action against Iran, which it accuses of supporting terrorism and having a secret nuclear weapons program, a Russian newspaper reported yesterday, citing diplomats.
"The military action is designed to complete a popular uprising on which the Pentagon is counting," said Nezavisimaya Gazeta daily, adding that the operation's launch date would be decided at a meeting due to be held in the White House yesterday.
The action would be launched mainly from Iraq but military bases in the former Soviet republics of Georgia and Azerbaijan would also be used, the paper said.
A deal had been struck between the US administration and Azerbaijani President Heidar Aliyev for US troops to be deployed in the Caucasus state, it added.
