Iran intends to organize a number of attacks on American objects in Baghdad if the United States begins military operation in Syria. This is written by The Wall Street Journal with reference to unnamed American officials. In particular, the US Embassy in Iraq will be attacked.

The attacks, according to the interlocutors of the publication, should be carried out by Iraqi armed groups sympathizing with Iran. The corresponding order was given to them by the command of the Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution - elite Iranian troops.

In addition, the Lebanese Hezbollah is also preparing to attack American objects. According to special services, militants intend to attack the US Embassy in Beirut.

As noted, the US authorities have already developed a plan for the evacuation of diplomats. They will be exported on American ships located in the Mediterranean and Red Seas.

Earlier, The New York Times, citing a source in the White House, reported that US President Barack Obama ordered the Pentagon to increase the number of goals to strike American and French forces on the territory of Syria. The initial list of goals compiled by the French military includes 50 objects.

The goals of the coalition may be military units, responsible, according to Western intelligence, for chemical attacks, as well as the headquarters that these attacks planned, and artillery and missile batteries that directly inflicted strikes. According to the head of the United Committee of the chiefs of staff of Martin Dampsis, the targets of the air defense, regarded as a means of protecting chemical weapons, may also include.

Meanwhile, it is not supposed to be applied in order to avoid unpredictable consequences in the actual impact warehouses with chemical weapons.

Obama also first raised the question of the participation of American and French aircraft in the planned operation. Earlier, it was about the fact that Syria would be bombarded with cruise missiles from the US warships in the Mediterranean Sea.
