Washington has drawn up a plan for military action against Iran, which it accuses of supporting terrorism and having a secret nuclear weapons program, a Russian newspaper reported Thursday, citing diplomats. \"The military action is designed to complete a popular uprising on which the Pentagon is counting,\" said Nezavisimaya Gazeta daily, adding that the operation\'s launch date would be decided at a meeting to be held Thursday in the White House. The action will be launched mainly from Iraq but military bases in the former Soviet republics of Georgia and Azerbaijan will also be used, the paper said. A deal has been struck between the US administration and Azerbaijani President Heidar Aliyev for American troops to deploy in the Caucasus state, it added. A top US defence official said Wednesday that there was \"serious unhappiness\" in the administration of President George W. Bush about Iran. It has charged that Iran has a secret nuclear weapons program and is trying to undermine the US presence in Iraq through support of hardline Shiite Muslim groups. Top US officials have also publicly accused Iran of doing too little to crack down on terrorists within its borders, including al-Qaeda members Washington has linked to May 12 suicide bombings in Riyadh.
