Iran is drawing up plans to attack European sites including nuclear power plants according to an address in the British parliament yesterday the Associated Press reports.

Claude Moniquet, president of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center, a private think-tank in Brussels, said his organization also had evidence Tehran has increased numbers of intelligence agents across Europe.

“We have serious signals that something is under preparation in Europe,” Moniquet said. “Iranian intelligence is working extremely hard to prepare its people and to prepare actions.”

The center, which he said deals directly with European intelligence agencies, believes Iranian operatives have carried out “reconnaissance of targets in European cities, including nuclear power stations,” Moniquet said. He mentioned no other specific targets.

Iran appeared to be preparing to target “British citizens on the streets of London,” Moniquet said. “Just as they kill British soldiers in the south of Iraq.”

I really wish the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center would quit trying to escalate tensions with Iran.

On the Iranian nuclear front, according to the IAEA Iran is 3-8 years away from being able to produce a nuclear bomb.
