CNN Headline News......

 

"Negotiations with Iran and the UN broke off today when the Iranian delegation walked out over the UN demands for Iran to hand over its nuclear weapons and open their country to inspections. The Iranian delegation said that it will not be intimated by the use of force and will use "all and any means" to protect its country from invasion. It also stated that the United States and it gangs of international "thugs" are waging a war against Islam and calls for a worldwide Jihad against NATO countries. The UN will be in session tomorrow to see if Iran comes back to the table for further negotiations. Sources have said that China is providing military aid to Iran but these reports are unconfirmed and China has denied all allegations. This is Wolf Biltzer, CNN."

TO: ALL FORCES

 

IMPLEMENT FORCE PROTECTION CHARLIE AT ALL AIRABAES. RECALL ALL OFF BASE PERSONNEL. WE HAVE RECEIVED CREDIBLE INTEL THAT THE IRANIANS HAVE LANDED SPECIAL OPERATION FORCES IN KUWAIT AND IRAQ WITH AN AIM TO DISRUPT AIRFIELD OPERATIONS, TROOP MOVEMENTS AND ANY ACTS OF TERROR. 3 NATO FORCES PERSONELL HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED, EXECUTED AND FOUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN AN AREA OUTSIDE KUWAIT CITY. ONCE IT IS CONFORMED THAT IRANIAN SPEC OPS ARE RESPONSIBLE THERE WILL BE A CHANGE IN ROE'S. ALSO INTEL IS TRYING TO CONFIRM IF CHINA IS PROVING MILITARY AID TO IRAN. SO STANDBY. KEEP ON YOUR GUARD TROOPS. ONCE FPCON CHARLIE IS ATTAINED SITREP YOUR STATUS TO JFC SHAPE AND THE RAF C2 CELL RAS ASSANYA AFB.
