Iranian state television ran a report Monday saying Israeli military aircraft were massing at a U.S. air base in Iraq for a strike on Iran.
The report appeared on the website of Press TV. Israel said it had no knowledge of such a strike plan and Iraq's air force commander denied the Iranian report.
Press TV quoted what it said was a source close to the movement of Moqtada al-Sadr, an Iraqi Shi'ite cleric who opposes the U.S. presence in Iraq and has close ties to Iran's leaders.
So is this just another round of propaganda for no other purpose than that is what they do?
Or is is an excuse to justify a Hezbollah and/or Hamas attack on Israel that might give Bashar Assad a foreign enemy to distract his rebellious people?
Or, does the source indicate that Iran is trying to stop any movement by Iraq to ask American forces to stay in Iraq after this year?
