MOSCOW, Jan 9 (KUNA) — Former Russian Black Sea Fleet Commander Admiral Edward Baltin said Tuesday that the presence of so many nuclear submarines in the Arab Gulf waters pointed to likely plans for a US attack against Iran.

Baltine, who was quoted by Interfax news agency, said the presence of US submarines in Gulf waters meant that Washington was contemplating a strike against Iran.

“The presence of the submarines indicates that Washington has not abandoned plans to launch a sudden attack against Iran,” the admiral said.

    With the NE of the US in Spring-like conditions and oil at low prices, this would be an excellent time for the US to attack Iran. Summer driving season is still a long way off.The attack would no doubt raise oil prices (somewhat, or a lot depending on the severity of the attack and Iran’s response). People have already adjusted to higher prices since Katrina, so the backlash against the US government would be minimal.
