U.S. MILITARY UPDATES ATTACK PLANS ON IRAN


WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. military has been closely monitoring and updating plans for an attack on Iran.

But the plans were said to be routine for the military, which envisions a range of threat scenarios in the Middle East and other regions.

Officials said Central Command, responsible for Iran and the surrounding region, has not been under any alert or heightened state of planning regarding Teheran. They said Central Command has maintained a close watch on Iran, particularly regarding threats against the U.S. military presence and the interim government in neighboring Iraq.

"What we are doing right now, our focus is on the day-to-day operations, the tactical operation, and I'm talking in regards Iran," Lt. Gen. Lance Smith, deputy chief of Central Command, said. "Our focus is on what are they doing, you know, to try and influence what's going on in Iraq."
