M.Dancer Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 Tuesday, 26 June 2007 LONDON (AFP)- Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces have been spotted by British troops crossing the border into southern Iraq, The Sun tabloid reported on Tuesday. Britain’s defence ministry would not confirm or deny the report, with a spokesman declining to comment on “intelligence matters”. An unidentified intelligence source told the tabloid: “It is an extremely alarming development and raises the stakes considerably. In effect, it means we are in a full on war with Iran — but nobody has officially declared it.” “We have hard proof that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have crossed the border to attack us. It is very hard for us to strike back. All we can do is try to defend ourselves. We are badly on the back foot.” The Sun said that radar sightings of Iranian helicopters crossing into the Iraqi desert were confirmed to it by very senior military sources. In response to the report, a British defence ministry spokesman said: “There is evidence that explosive devices used against our troops in southern Iraq originated in Iran.” http://www.ncr-iran.org/content/view/3745/152/ http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007290279,00.html Now the silver lining in this ominous dark cloud.....when the coalition neutralizes the Iranian airforce they could make a little side trip and flatten the nuclear scientists at the same time.....
