It’s always dicey to point to a date, but that’s what the Russian media has done. Foreign papers are carrying this story along with a handful of bloggers, but I haven’t heard a peep from the corporate media here. We’re in the middle of a show of force as we begin our war games in the gulf, but is this just a last minute cram before an April 6th attack?

WASHINGTON DC — The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 AM on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly “Argumenty Nedeli.” Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.

India E-News
Moscow, March 27 (RIA Novosti) Russian military intelligence services are reporting a flurry of activity by US Armed Forces near Iran’s borders, a high-ranking security source said Tuesday.
Europe’s abuzz now. Where’s the U.S. msm?
I realize this could just be another threat by proxy. It’s odd that it’s coming from Uglanov and friends, but I suppose good psychops would want to get the info into the hands of an unlikely source like that. Either way, that’s all speculation at this point. I’d just like to see the big names pick up on the fact that russian sources are leaking this. I think there’s a story in that (at least).

Russian News & Information Agency here and here. And, in english.
Note: Thom Hartmann reported on this all yesterday morning. Anyone have anything new? I’m hoping this is bogus, but the actions of the Bush administration are far stranger than fiction.
