Does not reveal that the sources are anonymous. Really two stories not well investigated, combined with irrelevant context about captured sailors to create a full article. Hard to believe no US source at all was available. No Israeli viewpoint either.

The story covers developments in Iran, including the Russian intelligence that the US will attack on Good Friday, and the posturing with regard to the captured Brits. The Jerusalem Post interestingly leaves out the allegations seen elsewhere that AIPAC has been lobbying for the US attack and against the legislation that was introduced in the US to prohibit such an attack without going back to congress.

This is a Mossad plant. In a related story, a reporter quoting a Mossad sources Uzi Arad (Israel rethinks...) saying there is no other option with Iran but to bomb it. Then a Jerusalem post feed of a missile attack, quoting Russian intelligence, saying that the US will attack Iran on Good Friday. It then says the Russian Defense ministry called the attack "myths" and that there was no immediate response from Washington. Whoever crafted this story must really have a twisted mind! What crap.
