Top US Commander in Middle East, Gen. David H Petraeus, has signed a secret directive ordering that ‘Special Operations’ troops be sent to countries such as Iran for reconnaissance, a move that may lead to possible strikes against Tehran if tensions over its nuclear ambitions escalate.
These military officials would be dispatched to nations in the Middle East, Central Asia and the Horn of Africa as well as Iran on intelligence gathering assignments, ‘The New York Times’ reported.
